we made a trip to idaho for a girl get-together. nova seriously adores her cousins and plays so well with them. she was in heaven. i am so glad that she gets along with them so well. it is so important to me for her to have a good relationship with them since the relationships i had with my cousins were so important and critical for me growing up. here are some pics of the fun we had.
we had our annual girl tea party for the hall girls. it was rainbow, and as maddie said, 'its so beautiful!' we had rainbow fruit, rainbow tutus for everyone, and rainbow pancakes.
i had youth conference with my lovely adopted daughters. it was a blast and we even met someone kinda important.....AWESOME!!
in front of the temple with my girlies 14 and up. seriously love these chicas. like. a ton. they are so fun and so good. i really can't get enough of 'em.
i literally have been running around this last month too. i ran the odgen 1/2 marathon, the teton dam 10K and the ragnar wasatch back. the ragnar was crazy intense, but i was with some seriously fun people. our team name was: "you don't think we know a butt load of crap about the gospel, but we DO." it really was so fun. a nacho outfit was worn several times, we ran 194 miles between the 12 of us, we didn't sleep much and sat in a van and cheered each other on. we ran it in 32 hours and 18 min.
this week we also went to the princess festival at thanksgiving point. nova was in serious heaven. in the picture with cinderella, she is almost crying she was so excited. way worth the drive to go to see her face. you basically walk around meet princesses, watch little performances, and get their autographs. its a charity event to raise money for "in our own quiet way." its a great charity and it was really fun to be there. it was also fun to see the hundreds of little girls all dressed up and excited to be at the festival.
