VACATION TIME!

After Lake Powell, we headed up to idaho for our washburn family reunion. we went to the pond, we had a bean auction, we had movie nights, mandie did luke inpressions, and we had late night milkshake runs. i love my family :)

after idaho, we went down to utah for my moms family reunion. we had temple square day, and we went shopping.....ALOT

then came EFY. snow college. ephraim.

our company is one heart one mind. i loved my group, everyone was soooo nice, and all the boys were big sweethearts. me and ally were roomies with kendra and lisa <3 i love those girls like non other. they were so fun, and so easy to get along with! we laughed sooo hard when we were around them:) ahhh then there were our session directors. the Cleggs. these are probably the most amazing people i have ever met in my life. they have helped me become such a strong person. they are THE cutest couple i have ever seen, and i aspire to be like them one day. next comes my counselor.....Leilani!!! this girl is amazing. she has gone through so much, and is still stuch a strong person. i hope to be like her when i grow up :) she is one of those girls who doesnt judge anyone and who wants everyone to see the gosple is full light. also she is the Dumbars neice! (my parents on trek) how crazy is that!?!?!

thank you ephriam efy for making me better. for teaching me i am important. for helping answer my questions. i love everyone i met, and i will see you all in the morning of the first resurrection <3

FIRST DAY OF SUMMER VACATION! we went to Lake Powell!!!

I love page Arizona! i love eating at RD's and i love spending a whole day on the lake. i love hiking through the skinny caves, and i love the smallness of the town :) Lake Powell is the bomb

I am so tired. this week has been LONG. me and my sisters went to the doctors, we had a girls camp swim party, i watched the bachlorette, we had gracie's birthday party, and i baby sat, alot. but im so excited because on monday we head off on our summer vacation! i am so beyond thrilled to go to lake powell, see all my cousins, and go to EFY :)
have a wonderful evening <3

We had the best mutual lesson on being praiseworthy. We are all princesses, and we need to hold ourselves like we know we are royalty. We need to act in a way that brings praise from others. Would you ever see Kate disregarding her poise? No, she always acts in a way that would never disgrace her, or her family. We are all princesses and we need to realize our potential and that we need to be the examples heavenly father wants us to be :)

Day 6

I AM A GIRL WHO KNOWS!

This girls camp, was amazing. I learned so much about myself. I learned that i can do the hardest things, even when I just want to give up and fall down. I learned that we need to prepare now for when Christ comes again because you never know when it will happen, and you don't want to have that feeling of looking out the window and seeing all of your friends out there with no light. I learned that there are people out there seeking for the truth and we can help them find it. I learned to have confidence in who I am. I learned that I am loved by so many. I learned that as young women we need to all stand together and be as one.

Thank you to all the leaders that made this years camp possible. It was the best ever! And I want to thank all of my 4th years for being the best! I loved every minute of being a 4th Year YCL and I wouldn't trade it for anything :) LOVE YOU GIRLS!

This one is for pup, and how it explains us so well. We need to know, rather than go through life always thinking what if...
This one is for tiner, and all the girls that hate us :)

This is just what we were all talking about the other day. so boys, be nice :)

I fell for a smile, and I want someone to fall for mine too. <3

Keeps me going every day...
