Our trip to San Diego was a blast.  We left on Monday morning, the 11th of March and returned Wednesday evening, the 13th.  We stayed at a hotel in downtown San Diego, about 2 min. from the harbor. We went to Old Town San Diego, the Mormon Battalion Historic Site, Mission Beach, we took a ferry to Coronado Island, and ate some yummy food.  It was a great way to spend a few days and we wish we had longer to stay and play.  Kaitlin came with us, and was the designated driver, so I didn't have to drive, which was great, cause i always have to drive.  We had some crazy, fun, experiences and can't wait for another excuse to go on a fun vacay!

Soooo glad to work with these amazing women and friends!!!
In February, we took the laurels on an overnight trip to a beautiful cabin in Strawberry.  We all had the best time.  We played games, stayed up too late, (us leaders stayed up way past the girls), ate too much good food, played in the snow, drove a snow machine, had a snowball fight, learned about manners, really ate some good food, and played ping pong.  Couldn't ask for a more fun group of girls, or leader/friends to hang out with in the beautiful mountains!  February 8-9, 2013

teacher friends.

We absolutely love teacher training meetings, especially when food is involved!  Thanks to Mr. Gaddie for providing the most delicious subs and thanks to these awesomely amazing girls for posing with me.  School wouldn't be as enjoyable without them!! 2/4/13

We absolutely love Mesa in February.  And we absolutely love opening the irrigation gate and watering our citrus trees.  And we absolutely love our neighbors for giving us a trampoline.  Feb. 2013
