birthday wishes to david!

here's a happy late birthday wish to my handsome nephew david:)the last time i saw you, there were many things you did to make me never forget how wonderful you are:
I loved tickling your neck, and you laughing hysterically.
I loved how you were just so patient with nana and saione. (but i've heard its different now that your older and more aware of they they are doing to you)
i loved your umas:)
i loved the way you'd cry for mom and crawl to me thinking i was her
i loved making you smile, even if it made me look like a complete lunatic!
i loved it when your helmet would squeeze your face down
and i just flat out love you baby david:! I can't wait to see you in august!

love,

Aunty Lape:)

one word to explain my feelings after seeing toy story 3 in theaters: ......not possible. It was everything i hoped it would be:). Within 2 minutes of the movie it was able to take me back to the good ol' days, being home 24/7 with all my siblings watching movies and playing outside. it was so cool to play outside. Boy do miss those days.

In toy story 3 Andy went off to college leaving his toys behind, it was pretty sad...and... well, who am i fooling? i cried big time.

Graduating high school is a huge step i've come to realized after watching toy story 3..and yes i learn many life lessons through disney channel and disney movies..where would i be without them? BUT! as i was saying, college is just around the corner, and im reading all the college tip books i can get my hands on!
They have a lot of GOOD STUFF to offer a
clueless freshman like myself..



ps. Ian purchased this new CTR ring for me, since my other one went missing..he's so thoughtful and i'm so lucky :)

just let dad fix it..

A dad is someone who
wants to catch you before you fall
but instead picks you up,
brushes you off,
and lets you try again.

A dad is someone who
wants to keep you from making mistakes
but instead lets you find your own way,
even though his heart breaks in silence
when you get hurt.

A dad is someone who has faith in you even when you fail..


I am beyond greatful for dads and the love they share. They are quietly always there guiding you through life, and tough trials. They are there for it all with open arms and a warm smile. HAPPY FATHERS DAY:)

realization

hello stranger.

i have come to realize high school isnt a joke.
but sometimes the people are. sadly.
well all i have to say is: BRING ON COLLEGE :)

all there is to do now is work hard and care less what the world thinks.
speaking of the world...i had a fireside last night and im thinking it deserves
a post for its own :) mmmm..yes...it was a good night.

i'll be right back with more.

girls camp '09

wow what a week!

our camp theme this year was:
"A Hero Within; The Power of One"


Our savior was the greatest hero..he died and atoned for our sins....for my sins. he was so much more then just perfect..i love him so much.

My calling this year was camp fire (pretty much plan skits for the rest of camp and make them laugh, but also get a message through) with 7 others girls. Who by the way are amazing and i love them so much! (danielle, kimberli, cami, baily, whitney, mindy, and kjera) what an amazing bunch of girls...we worked so well together and im so glad i got to know them all..nothing like waking up to seeing there smiley/morning faces every morning..they made me laugh when i wasnt in the mood to laugh...i loved it.


So girls camp wasn't just only amazingly fun but i learned so much and felt the spirit every single day i was there..i understand now that our heavenly father SO does know us all indivisually, and i grew to love not only my camp fire girls but ALL of the girls at camp..i had little first year girls coming up to me telling me they loved me, and asking me for hugs (mainly because they knew the character i played named "peaches" ...a hillbilly that is very def tone..lol) but i didnt hesitate one second to tell him i loved them back..they were so adorible, and to know girls like them look up to me made me feel like i had to be the right example for them because they were watching everything i did..i truly wanted to be so much better because i knew they would watch me carefully and follow whatever i did..


Im so greatful for my savior and his example, so that i can follow him..he knows me and understands every trial i face, he's felt every pain i have felt..or the pain will feel in the feature..he is my bestest friend. and i know i can always call him through prayer and he will not only answer my call but listen too. i am heavenly fathers daughter and chirst's little sister.


Something that really stood out to me was something sister green mentioned in destiny (spiritual class at camp) she told us its never a choice between christ or "freedom"..the freedom the world would consider "easy". its between christ or satan...how true is that? its SOOO true..i will choose christ because i know with every part of me that this is the true gospel, and nothing or anyone can tell me different..he lives and i know it to be true :)


Lately i haven't been big on reading my scriptures...but i promise myself to read them each day..because i know they can help me with everything i do..but how do i know that, if i've never really stuck to reading my scriptures?..well to be honest..i dont know..but i feel it..and i feel like it'll help me..im really exited to get started.


One last thing i wanna share is a quote president Gale shared with us..he said, "you young women CAN and WILL make a difference you are a hero within; when you wake up in the morning, and your feet hit the floor satan says "oh no, shes awake!"


..i will win the war :)
