Hangin' out with the Griffiths'

We were so excited to see our friends Kent, Kate and Afton this summer! We missed them so much. While we were there, we had to play our traditional games of Spades and Dutch Blitz! We had a blast.

Hair Experiments

While I was in Utah, I had a few friends and family that were very brave to let me experiment with their hair! I was really excited because you cannot buy Paul Michell hair color in Alabama, but I could get everything I needed there! Doing Kate's hair was really scary because we went from platinum to brown, which meant we had to repigment her hair with an red-orange color. I think it turned out beautifully on her and I think she liked it too. Larissa's and Grandma's hair was a little easier, but I'm so grateful for the practice. Thanks girls!

Picking Apricots with Grandma and Grandpa

Don and I picked the most delicious apricots with grandma and grandpa. They taught us how to sort, juice, can, and dry them. We had a lot of fun.

Mom's Mission Reunion

Mom had her 25 mission reunion while we were in Utah. She served in the England Coventry Mission. It was fun to see her old pictures and meet a lot of new people as well as hang-out with friends I hadn't seen for a while.

Jared's Mission Call

Jared (my brother) got called to the Las Vegas, Nevada Mission. He leaves on October 1st, the day after his birthday. We are so excited for him. We got to hear his call being read over a conference call when we were on the lake huddled around the phone. It was pretty exciting! We love you and will miss you Jared.

Our Summer at Bear Lake

Don and I were able to go up to Bear Lake with our family this summer. We both had such a good time visiting, playing and vacationing with the fam. It was a much needed trip! We already miss everyone and we're looking forward to next year's trip. A big thanks to everyone who helped make the trip so much fun.
