Happy June Birthday to ME!

I got to celebrate my 46th birthday with 3 of my favorite people: Brad, Tanya, and my Mom. We ate at California Pizza and then saw a movie!

A manicure and pedicure were the perfect way to celebrate my sister's 40th birthday!

Even though the events of this summer were full of surprises and unexpected events, we still found some time to celebrate!!

Greg's overnight trip to KC: June 12, 2012

The night before my mother's 2012 emergency pacemaker surgery, my only brother Greg drove all through the night from Calhoun, Georgia to be at KU Med Center when Mom woke up from the procedure. He was a HUGE help during the week while Mom and Dad recovered.

Jess, Lilly, Mari and Sara had tons of fun swimming, playing, and having sleep-overs all week long!

25th Anniversary: I spent the night at KU med with my Mom who got aPACEMAKER

My mom was admitted to the hospital on June 11 and I drove her to the KU med center downtown. On June 12 she went through a surgical procedure to have a pacemaker put into her heart to stimulate the pulses. Brad and I went out to eat at chipotle near the hospital!!

That's just how we roll!







Boy Scout Camp for Carson Bishop: his LAST!!'

Carson spent a week with his buddies at Camp Naish in Bonner Springs, Kansas. Bishop Chris Staggs and brother Brett Bozick spent the entire week with the young men!

The scouts worked very hard to earn a number of merit badges and greatly enjoyed the rock climbing merit badge. I am so proud of this group of scouts because they are good friends and they motivate each other to do their best.




While Carson was attending camp, his grandmother, Tamara Evans, was admitted to KU med center for an emergency pacemaker. Carson and Jacob's uncle Greg drove through the night to be with Tamara. He brought his three daughters with him for the long ride.

During family night, I surprised Carson and Jacob and brought his beloved cousins, Lily, Mari and Sara to enjoy a yummy dinner with the scouts. The girls had a blast with Carson and Jacob playing in the sand, dirt and water.

Young women's camp 2012


In February 2012, I was asked to preside in the kitchen for young women's camp held at Camp Naish the first week of June.

The assignment they asked me to fulfill was head camp cook. Basically, I needed to plan nine meals for 150 leaders and girls. I needed to plan the meals, budget the money for the meals, shop for the food, store and manage the food, and prepare and serve the meals

Needless to say, this was a daunting task. After I accepted the assignment, I immediately began preparing and organizing for this huge project.

The morning of the first day of camp, many helpers and my committee loaded the food for transport to Camp Naish. We needed 4 large grocery carts of food for the week of  camp.

I spent months researching food prices, creating Google Docs to organize data, communicating with my committee and planning to create these meals in a timely manner making sure the food was tasty and inedible. Having never been involved in cooking at a large-sized camp, fear of failure was a large motivator for me.
