Memories

Here is a fun little game...Leave a comment on my blog of a memory that you and I have had together. It doesn't matter if you've known me for a short time, or a long time, anything you remember! Next, re-post these instructions on your blog and see how many people leave a memory about you. It's actually pretty funny to see the responses. If you leave a memory about me, I'll assume you're playing the game and I'll come to your blog and leave one about you.On your mark...get set...blog your memories!!

Girls Camp-Oh YA BABY!!!!

So as some of you know, I was the camp director this year for our ward. We had a blast! Kade was able to come up with me the first day of camp because I roped him into fulfilling the required priesthood assignment:) It was so much fun to have him there for a little while. The girls loved him. Our theme this year was "Rock On". And of corse we had a fun rock concert, an did our rowdy stuff but the spiritual side of it was amazing!! Our Savior is our Rock!, Our Redeemer! And we need to be like our rock, steadfast and imovable! It was a great time, and it strengthened my testimony!
Getting ready for our rock concert! Gotta have the big hair!
This was the day of our hike and Dani loved the hike! She got to ride on the rhino and we all hiked along side her:) It was fun to have her there. This is all our girls except for two and I dont have pictures of them because they ended up coming the last night!! Which was a surprise!! We loved having them come too!! They added to our group!!!!
Out in the good ole canoe!! We all got pretty crazy on the water! We thought we were going to get tipped over-but thank goodness we didnt!
There is a story behind this picture! Its only one of about 25-30!! Stephanie and Kali stole my camera and took a ton of pictures of their faces-and to my surprise every face was completely different!! What some goofy girls!! I want all the young women to know how much I love each one of them!! They are amazing! Im so thankful that I got to know each of them better at girls camp!! It was awesome!! And they all made me have a blast!

Ute Stampede!!

These pictures are from the Ute Stampede Rodeo that we went to a couple weeks ago! Im a terrible blogger lately. I think we all feel the same though-Summer is BUSY!! It seems like we are all running around doing something. Anyways, this picture (above) is Kade and I at the Rodeo!! We had a blast as we do every year!!!!
This horse did not seem to want to be a part of the show! We usually sit so that we can see behind the bucking shuets, and this horse just rared up and tryed his escape plan! Eventually that guy got him back in!
The suset was amazing!! And my camera did a pretty good job capturing how beautiful it was.
This picture is priceless!! Two of my nephews (Big bro-holding little bro) So cute!!! Tyrel loves Stetson!!
And I thought I would include a picture of my cute little horse!! He is so darn fat right now, cause I havent ridden him a lot lately!! And he doesnt really try to watch his girly figure!!

We Made The News!!!

Our 4th of July was one of the best ever for me!! As some of you know, I think I like the 4th of July better than Christmas!! Its just one of my favorite times of year because everyone is together and we are always doing something outdoors. And also I love to honor the vetrans, and watch the fireworks as we are all wrapped up in our blankets!! We truly live in the land of the free!! What a blessing!!! As you saw above, Our family MADE THE NEWS!! Pretty cool. If you go to http://www.ksl.com/index.php?nid=148&sid=3687731you can watch the news clip of us. The reason why we were on the news is because my grandpa Cook had his 100th great-grand child 6 weeks ago! He has 8 children, 41 grandchildren, and 100 great-grandchildren!!! So my cousin called KSL and they wanted to come down cause they liked our story! All of the great-grandkids are wearing T-shirts with thier name and their number (in the order that they were born) on them. Then they were put on a float that the family made for them to ride on. It was crazy to see all those kids with numbers on them clear to 100!! What an awesome experience that we will never forget! Im so greatful for my family and for the great leagacy that my grandparents have left for us!! They are a people who know the meaning of hard work!! And Im sure glad they passed those qualities on to their kids!! Im greatful to be a part of the Cook family!! We would like to express our love and apprieciation to Grandpa Cook for all that he has done and for his service in World War 2. He is a wonderful man and we love him so much!!!!! We would also like to recognize my father for his service in Vietnam as well!! (Above pictured is Kade and I, Grandpa Cook, My mom and dad) This is my dad and my brother(Josh) in Josh's car. Josh took his car through the parade for his business-autobody.
Another picture of the float with ALL THE KIDS!!!!
