Happy Birthday Sara!!!

This cutie is 18 today!!! She is ready to graduate high school and take on the world. We love you Sara!!!

Prom Girl!

Sara is off to her junior prom with her handsome date Devon. Such a lovely couple! They look stunning in my humble opinion. Sara's dress is gorgeous, I especially love that we got it for only $25. Devon selected a beautiful corsage and boutonniere that complimented their outfits smashingly. Sara is wearing sparkly Toms, now that's comfort! Devon (and his Mom) worked really hard to find the perfect matching tie. Have fun tonight!

Little Pioneer Children

Sara and Ashley were blessed to be able to go on a Pioneer Trek with our stake youth over spring break. It was phenomenal! So much work was put into it! The kids had an incredible experience! They loved the families they were in and learned so much about the pioneers. How thankful and blessed we are because of those dear Saints, including our own ancestors, who bared such difficult hardships to be true to their testimonies and live the Gospel.

When I asked Ashley what her favorite part of the trek was she said, "The whole thing!" She said she liked that her family sang along the way & made it fun, she loved the food, and how everyone was dressed in pioneer clothes. She also liked watching the movie 17 Miracles on the bus on the way up to the Trek especially the part where one of the pioneer women says, "It will all be worth it if my posterity keeps the faith". Ashley said that made her think about our ancestors and how they probably thought the same thing.

Sara said her favorite parts were the Women's hike, helping cook the camp food, stopping at a trading post that had ice cold rootbeer and sleeping.

 

Sweet Sixteen for Sara!!!!!!!!!

HAPPY BIRTHDAY SWEET SIXTEEN!!!!!!!! Today Sara is 16!!!!!!! CELEBRATE!!!! WHOOOO!!!! We love you Sara!!!!!!! Happy Birthday to one of the BEST girls we know!!!


Here are some songs that every girl must listen to on her 16th Birthday:

Just Dance!

The youth of our stake, ages 14 to 18, put on a Multi-Cultural dance festival Saturday night. It was awesome!!! Each ward preformed dances from different countries around the world such as, Cuba, Italy, Samoa, etc.

Our ward's country was the USA. I loved our dances! You can tell all the effort that was put into this both by the youth & their leaders. We did the Virgina Reel, Charleston, the Twist/Hand Jive, Electric Slide & had a special appearance by Michael Jackson! Watch for Sara in the 1950's number with the twist & hand jive. She looked so cute in her poodle skirt & pink ladies jacket! (I should have taken a pic of the back of her jacket). All the girls were adorable! I do have to say that our ward had the best costumes!


Great job to Sara & all the youth in our ward & stake! Thanks to all the leaders, as well, for all their work on this fabulous event!
