Friend

These girls have such a sweet spirit, I feel so blessed to be their leader and I hope
FRIEND!
With my daughter getting married this month I haven't been able to focus on my calling.
I have found the best way to get it together is just set a date, tell their mother's and 
and here they come weather I am ready or not, or I will just keep putting it off.
These girls are so good at getting me motivated and back into the swing of things.
They are so excited....
I think today didn't meet one of my girls expectations,
"I can't wait till we do something REALLY fun!"

I gave each of the girls their own FRIEND magazine. I was excited to hear that several
of them already had a subscription coming to their homes, but they were still excited to have their own.
They shared what they liked about the FRIEND.
They all said....
"The stories that teach me to be kind" 
and they each shared a story they remembered reading.
These girls truly shine with the light of Christ in their eyes.

Then, of course, they wished we could have another Spa Day.....
so we started painting their nails.
They all shared their nicknames from home; Toothless, Crash, Whitteroo, Whitt,
Muffin, Fuzzy, Trina, Hans but defiantly NOT Hannah Banana or Hannah Montana. 

Summer Day


 Summer is hard for us to get together for our Achievement Days but we did manage one day
of just playing in the pool.....ICE COLD POOL!!!
I wanted the water to be warm and easily should have been with the hottest summer,
but the pool was leaking and was fixed at the last minute.
(livestock water troughs make the best "pools" till they loose their seal)
 The girls did their best to take a dip in the pool....
they were determined....and they did it.
I couldn't do it, it was freezing....no, ICY!
 I finally put the sprinkler under the tramp, they enjoyed that a lot better.
 They can't stay away from the pond, that isn't finished, but they love to see if the 
fish will nibble their toes.
 However, the fish can't get close enough because they pull their feet in a squeal. 
Just a good summer day with the girls.
