Olivia and Jane

At the end of May my roommate got two girl kittens from the same litter. They are OH SO VERY CUTE!! I love them!! They ended up being malnourished and were sick at the beginning, but they are doing much better now. I've taken way too many pictures of them. I just can't take how sweet, cute, & fluffy they are! (Some pics are from my phone so they aren't as clear)

Olivia is grey and Jane is grey and white.
I tried putting them from young up till now.




































Can you say obsessed?!!
I just may be a crazy cat lady. I'll let you decide. :)

EVMCO

I'm gonna try to play catch up so here it goes...

Back in May I went to the East Valley Mormon Choral Organization concert with a friend. They have five choirs ranging from 4 yr. olds to adults and everyone volunteers their time. It was beautiful! My favorite was when the children sang. They are just so pure and innocent. It's so sweet. I have two old roommates who are in the orchestra (play the violin) and another friend in the choir so it was fun watching them.


The blue lines is to help the little kids know where to stand.

This was my second time to go to one of their concerts. I love it each time.

Temple Open House

I went with my roommate and Kyana, who I mentor, down the Temple Open House. The temple, of course, was so beautiful. It sits right next to the street so you can't miss it. My friend was able to explain to Kyana in simple terms what we do in the temple so she could understand. Kyana really liked seeing all the pretty rooms; especially the big chandelier.






Two weeks ago was the dedication. President Eyring and President Monson spoke at the session I went to. They both spoke on the heritage of where the Temple was built. It was really neat to hear how it was foretold many years ago that a temple would be built there. Pretty amazing!

26!!!

I turned the big 2-6 a couple weeks ago. Here are a few pictures of the celebration.


The night before

People came over to play games and have cake.





I was bummed when I realized I didn't get any pictures with anyone who came over.

What Have I Been Up To You May Ask?

Well, my roommate got engaged a few weeks ago and is getting married in June. So this past Saturday I went wedding dress shopping with her and her mom. It was a lot of fun! First we searched online for the stores that had modest dresses, mapped out the directions to each, and then spent most of the day shopping. She found her dress at the last wedding dress store we went to. It's beautiful!! Then we went to an outlet mall to look for shoes. This picture is of us at the mall.



I'm throwing her a bridal shower so this week I've been working on the invitations. Our other roommate is helping me too.

Here's the paper we used
These 2 pics were taken from my phone so they're not very clear. Sorry

The paper came in a bundle book of scrapbook paper that all went together so we could mix and match in all sorts of ways.


Finished product



We put some of the info on the front and some on the other side. just to mix it up.

We put a poem on the outside which reads,
"A sprinkle of flowers and a couple of kisses,
soon Beth and Wayne will be Mr. and Mrs.
But as we wait for that special hour, let's honor Beth
with a Bridal Shower!"

I don't know if you can tell, but the paper has a little sparkle to them. Super cute! I love them!!
