Entertaining Themselves

So Mom has to run into the store and leaves the kids in the car.  They said they had a good time and didn't fight or anything.  I was gone maybe 5 minutes.   This is what happened while I was gone.  They had their own photo shoot.  

Lake Powell 2008

Steve and The Harmony Park Priest Quorum had their super activity at Lake Powell this year.  Here are a few shots of the crazy boys.  Yes they did shave a few heads, but I think overall they had the time of their lives. 

Family Photo

This is an update to my family reunion post. This is the Zimmerman family minus Eric and April and their 4 kids Mikelle, Dylan, Luke, and Riley. My brother just emailed it to me and I thought I would post for all to see. We had a great time. Sure do love my family!!!

Happy Birthday Emily

My baby girl is a teenager! Em celebrated her 13th Birthday on Saturday. I can't believe how time has flown.  Just yesterday she was a little girl who loved playing house and being the mom. She has always loved following me around and doing everything I did! She can cook anything you ask her to. She has always loved being in charge. She is an amazing person. She has tried her hand at just about everything imaginable. She has played basketball, volleyball, been on the dive and swim teams, voice lessons, violin, piano, sewing class, you name it, she has tried it. The thing about Em is, she just wants to have fun. She is a great friend and sister. She makes us all laugh and is so fun to be with. You can carry on a conversation with her about anything. She is a great student and gets straight A's. She loves life and her family. We are truly blessed to have her as our daughter. Happy Birthday Emily! I love you - Mom

Zimmerman Family Reunion

Here are a few photos of our fun family reunion we had this past weekend. We stayed in some cabins in Brianhead Utah. The weather was beautiful, and the company was a blast. We played in some leftover snow at the top of Brianhead Peak, we boated on Panguitch Lake, we visited Cedar Breaks National Park, (beautiful, I might add), we had a fun talent show, ate, slept, played lots of pool, laughed, played the Wii, lots of Scum, celebrated Aunt Amy's 40th Birthday, and created lots of fun memories. We were all able to spend some time with Great Grandma Z who is 88 years old. She was a lot of fun. We were able to see all but 5 of our Zimmerman cousins. There are a total of 38. Our cousin Josh is on a mission, and my brother Eric and his family were not able to be there. We had a lot of fun, but were glad to finally make it home after we got a flat tire on the way home. We will truly miss all of our out of state family, and look forward to the next reunion!

Girls Weekend in California

Here are some fun photos of our Girls Getaway to California.  They are pretty self explanitory, so I won't go into great detail.  We tried out a couple of different beaches, Balboa 1st and than Laguna.  We all voted Laguna Beach as our favorite.  I know there are lots of beaches, but we will have to try them out on another trip.  We did some damage at the Orange County Marketplace (Swap Meet).  It was a super hot day on Saturday, so it sort of put a damper on things in the outdoor market place.  Needless to say, we had a blast, people watched, laughed a ton, ate lots of yummy food, and shopped til we dropped!    Oh and I added a video at the end of some dolphins that came swimming really close to shore where we were.  It was pretty cool to see them in the wild. (There is no sound on it though)

Girls Camp.

Here is my one and only picture of Girls Camp.  (This was on the last day, Ashley was sick, and we were all extremely tired!)  I brought my camera, but because I ran around like a headless chicken, I didn't take one picture.  This is off of Meagan's camera.  We had a wonderful time.  I read Suzanne Cummard's blog, and that pretty much summed up camp if you weren't able to be there.  It was amazing.  So many little miracles happened along the way.  Things worked out just as we had hoped they would.  The weather was a little cold the first night (22 degrees is what I heard).  But we were able to see the stars every night, and that was the most beautiful thing!  The girls were awesome, the leaders amazing, and the spirit was so strong there.  I was so honored to be able to be a part of something so wonderful.  Thanks to everyone who helped make it a success.
