Time Tested Beauty Tips

Audrey Hepburn shared this poem with her children on the last Christmas Eve she spent here on Earth. I just like what it says and felt like posting it!

Time Tested Beauty Tips

For attractive lips, speak words of kindness.

For lovely eyes, seek out the good in people.

For a slim figure, share your food with the hungry.

For beautiful hair, let a child run his or her fingers through it once a day.

For poise, walk with the knowledge you'll never walk alone.

People, even more than things, have to be restored, renewed, revived, reclaimed, and redeemed; Never throw out anybody.

Remember, If you ever need a helping hand, you'll find one at the end of your arm.

As you grow older, you will discover that you have two hands, one for helping yourself, the other for helping others.

The beauty of a woman is not in the clothes she wears, the figure that she carries, or the way she combs her hair. The beauty of a woman must be seen from in her eyes, because that is the doorway to her heart, the place where love resides.

The beauty of a woman is not in a facial mole, but true beauty in a woman is reflected in her soul. It is the caring that she lovingly gives, the passion that she shows, and the beauty of a woman with passing years only grows!

Grand Coulee: Pioneer Day Weekend

Over Pioneer Day Weekend/my birthday, my sisters and I went camping with Dalton Gardens Ward. The rest of my family came up on my birthday and had a blast! Just not so much the next day. :) Anyways, here is that boatload of pictures I took!

Our Family Reunion @ Bear Lake

We had a family reunion recently at Bear Lake in Utah. It was so fun and very worthwhile! Here are some pictures!

Oz

Recently we had a family reunion out of town, so we had someone come to our house daily and take care of our dogs. On the second day that we were gone, we got a call from the girl, Alyssa Tomblin, who was watching our dogs. She, sobbing over the phone, told us that Oz had died. She told my mom that she had gone over earlier that morning to take care of our dogs, and Oz was just laying in our boat house and didn't move around as much as usual (He had been like this since the 4th of July). Then, she went home and a few hours later felt that she should go back to our house. She did so and couldn't find Oz. Finally, she found him lying under our boat, motionless. He had died from being poisoned by a dead bird he had found earlier that week.

This was a shock to all of us and we will always miss the fun, hard-working personality of Oz. He was such a wonderful dog and always tried to do his best at being obedient and loyal. He will always have a place in my heart.




The last picture I took of Oz--a day before we left. I love the twinkle in his eye!

My Aunt and Uncle's

We're going pro someday.


These are some pictures at my aunt and uncle's.

Independence Day

For the 4th of July, I woke up and went to the parade downtown with my parents, Noelle, my grandparents and Mandy. My dad participated in the 1-mile run before the parade starts and did awesome! After that, we dropped Mandy off at her house and went home to barbeque. Then, we went to the Herns' lakehouse and had fun there for awhile. When it got later, we left to go watch fireworks at Honeysuckle beach and ran into the Myers. They came home with us afterwards and we set off our own fireworks. It was pretty much a fun day!
