One of the benefits of being in the Relief Society Presidency is that when you re-organize visiting teaching you get to have a say in who you visit teach! Last December I got to pick two wonderful sisters to visit teach, both of whom I already thought were awesome, and wanted to get to know even more. One of those sisters was already a good friend of mine, Carol. Carol is super talented, very creative, funny and a great mom. Plus Carol loves fashion and shopping as much, if not more than I do! On Thursday Carol invited me and the kids to Riverside Country Club for their Thursday night swim and BBQ. The goal of this event was to have the KIDS swim and the ADULTS visit! No way this body was going to be seen in a swimming suit in PUBLIC. I truly would rather die. Apparently I am not alone in this regard, because I only saw one adult in the pool the entire evening, and that was a very young dad.
Lauren having a "swimmingly" good time.
Here is Mark with Tacie, Carol's daughter, who is six months younger than Mark, and the female version of Mark. Something happened to the group of kids born in 2004....they ended up in the personality line, and stubborn line twice. Tacie wants to marry Mark, however before this can occur, he is going to need to forgive her for ripping his Thomas the Tank Engine magazine. Its still a sore subject.
Lauren with the "boys." Carol has two boys, Canyon, and Kedrick, who is only a few days younger than Lauren. Also in the picture is Sam, who is another boy her age in our ward. Lauren was a very good sport about being the only girl. I keep trying to explain to her that this will be to her advantage when she is a teenager, but some how she is missing the point?
