Family Scripture Study and Quotes From Courtney!

Lets Just say.... My family is Hilarious!! Ok so trying to get 9 people to focus in the gray family is like ....well um trying to get a herd of mice trying to do the hokey pokey....( which doesn't happen p.s. I totally made that up) ok well anyways we some how always get distracted and get off on some tangent. We began talking about if we have ever been made fun of for standing up for what we believe and our standards and then a majority of us raise our hands. Then Courtney says," oh no no but I have been made fun of because I was short! They call me Tiny Tim." lol and then a few seconds pass and Courtney just says, " Hey guys did you know that I have a shirt that says I am not short, I am fun sized?" ha we all of course started cracking up! Some other funny things happened... but I wont go too much into Detail cause well its embarrassing on my part.. but lets just say that Chelsea gave me a look as if there was a spider on my pants and it was a false alarm and I freaked out!! haha 
I love My Family.
I love this Gospel.
and I LOVE family scripture study!

Life...

"All of life is a Journey, Which Paths we Take, what we look back on, and what we look forward to is up to us. We determine our destination, what kind of road we take to get there, and how happy we are when we get there."
My best days are ahead of me :)

Relief Society Broadcast!



"There is a serious need for the charity that gives attention to those who are unnoticed, hope to those who are discouraged, aid to those who are afflicted. True charity is love in action. The need for charity is everywhere." President Monson






"I have always loved your Relief Society motto, Charity never faileth. What is charity? The prophet Mormon teaches us that “charity is the pure love of Christ.” In his farewell message to the Lamanites, Moroni declared, “Except ye have charity, ye can in nowise be saved in the kingdom of God.”




"I consider charity—or the “pure love of Christ”—to be the opposite of criticism and judging. In speaking of charity, I do not at this moment have in mind the relief of the suffering through the giving of our substance. That, of course, is necessary and proper. Tonight, however, I have in mind the charity that manifests itself when we are tolerant of others and lenient toward their actions; the kind of charity that forgives; the kind of charity that is patient."

General Relief Society Broadcast :)

After the General Relief Society broadcast Linds and I went to Logans Road House! Ill post later about the broadcast but it was amazing! It is always something that I need to hear. President Monson is hilarious! I love that he always tells stories. He really is such an incredible man and leader of this church. I love this gospel.it makes me happy. :)

I felt like I was a little Kid again :) Blast from the Past!

Ok... So this is a picture of my friend (aka the older brother I never had) Devin Rollender and me on his first date! I was able to show him all the manerisms and rules of a date. (opening the door,etc... you know the drill) ha I had to teach him that girls didn't have cooties anymore :) The Rollenders and our Family have grown up together! Pretty much we have gone on all our family trips together, Had Family home evenings, Done the Nativity Story together,and so much more.
   








Devin is now home from his mission! Two years went by really fast, ha not to mention that he still looks like exact same (maybe a little older) and has still got his goofy self. 


So here is a picture from Devin and Brennons homecoming! It was so much fun to just sit and talk with these boys and catch up like old times! It was so funny to reminisce about our teenage (ok that wasnt that long ago but still) years! Lindsay and I kept reminding Devin when he ran into the Median :) Touchy subject haha


Triple Date time! 


Here we are making shirts to go Laser Taggin :) 

Taping the shirts!

Devin contemplating what to do... ha

only our sweet idea for our shirts :)


P.s. Devin loves smiling :) 
















We were all super proud of our awesome shirts :) 

We decided that we were all gantstas that night :)

This is a picture of us from the date and then
one from about 3 years ago! 
These girls (right to left) are my childhood! Jocelyn and Lindsay and I all grew up together! We did gymnastics, had sleepovers, told jokes, played jokes on Courtney (my youngest sister) went to high-school, got ready together for dates and dances, have SOooo many inside jokes together, Can laugh for hours, went teepeeing together, stake dances, pretty much lived at each others houses. I love these girls so much!! Life would definitely not be the same without them! It was so much fun to be on the date with them. We just laughed and joked the entire night! All of our abbs were sore from it! I always have a blast with these girls and know that we will always be friends throughout eternity! 


The boys picture! 

Now were off to Stratum Laser Tag! 


The whole car ride we were makin fun of Devin and his driving! He didnt remember where anything was :) We were like Come on Devin you have been back an entire week you should know where everything is haha

We had fun at the arcade :) I seriously felt like a little kid again! Lindsay and Kenny brought their tickets to the counter they both got super cool rings! I love feeling little again! 


Time for some Laser Tag!
You should have seen all the little kids everywhere! And then there was us :) All dressed up in matching (WHITE) shirts! We were such easy targets because we glowed! These kids were running around everywhere it was hilarious!

We got pretty intense! ok maybe more like Devin did! lol he got the highest score out of all of us! 

Yay for Yellow team! hehe

Devin was soo proud :) He is going to go hang it on his fridge! 

Now what?? you might ask :) Well we decided to shove every 6 of us into a photo booth! The funny part about this is that Devin and I did this same exact thing on our first date! I wish I could find that picture! 


now its time for JUSt dance!!
The boys got all into it! oh man we were all laughing SO hard!!

They got pretty into it :) 

Then we started having competitions (date again date) 

This game is so much fun for those of you who haven't played it! Not to mention its really a great work out :)

ha she got really into it :) 

This date was seriously a walk down memory lane, and brought back so many memories. It was so much fun to be with Lindsay and Jocelyn! Okay the boys were fun as well :) haha It just felt like these 4 years had never even gone by. I know I said this before but I seriously felt like a little girl again with her amazing girlfriends by her side! We all just laughed the whole time! We all drove together in a suburb which made it even funnier. All the boys picked us up at lindsays house and we even had a triple door scene actually let me correct that we all had a Garage scene cause Lindsays front door was locked! that pretty much just consisted of all of us taking turns hugging each other! I love dates that you can just be crazy fun and laugh the whole night! Thats what dates are for, to have fun! This was definitely a blast from the past! I Love the life I live!!

Family Scripture Study!

Family Scripture Study is something that I look forward to more than anything in my day! We have it after I get back from Clinic. This is a time where I am able to bond with my family and grow closer to my savior. 
Did I mention that my family is hilarious?! Well they are and I love them! 
So some how we always get off on some kind of tangent and last week this is what went down.
Courtney said, " So why do they call them a stiffnecked people?" and we then explained to her that it was because they were stubborn prideful people and only would look one way meaning their way on things.
She then said, " Well why dont they call it stifflegged people?"
We all got a good chuckle out of this one! 
I love my family.
I love scripture study with them.
They make me Happy! 
Not to mention they are very entertaining :) 

Arizona Rain makes me Happy :)


Dear Arizona Rain,

Determined....

Try my hardest
