After dinner Britt got to go to her first Young Womens activity! It was a Daddy Daughter bootcamp! What a fun way to spend your Birthday night! They had so much fun. They made marshmellow guns and got thier own 'dogtags' (no pictures though :(

Notice her crown and dogtag!

Britt~ We hope you had a fantastic 12th birthday! STOP GROWING UP!

No matter how big you get you will always be our baby girl! We love you so much!

Birtt was Welcomed into Young Womens

A couple of Sundays before Britt turned 12, the Young Women Leaders came over to welcome Britt into Young Womens!
They told her all about the Young Womens Program and gave her a WELCOME PACK that included a scripture tote filled with books! Britt was so excited!

Fast forward 2 weeks and it is the day before Britt turns 12!
I get a call and some plans are made and Britt gets a huge surprise!

Two of her favorite Young Women came to our house and decorated her room while she was gone! They did a fantastic job and Britt was so surprised!
They filled her room with streamers and balloons and notes!

Here is a note they wrote on the mirror! They also left her a "Crown" fit for a PRINCESS, daughter of a HEAVENLY KING! What a terrific experience!

Britt was so happy and so excited again to move onto Young Womens!
I know she will do an amazing job working on her 'Personal Progress'!
I am so honored to be able to do the program with her!
Wow what a memorable time of our lives!

We had such a fun time playing with the girls! They stayed the night and then Britt went home with them for the rest of the week before our cabin trip! We love those girls so much! It was fun having them come and play!

Creative Kids

The kids were playing outside all day one Friday! They kept coming in to get stuff. I asked what they were doing and they said they were having a "Stuffed Animal Tree". They filled the tree with all their animals! It was so cute! Then they made "fires" to keep the animals warm!
Britt said her Bear went fishing and caught a huge "fish"!

The kids played so good together the whole day! It amazes me what they come up with!

Ahh the joys of summer!
