Young Womens


I am the secretary in the Young Womens for my ward. I was able to go to Girls Camp and Youth Conference with the girls. I was able to get to know them better and have loved the spiritual experiences I have had by being with them. They are truely amazing young women! I didn't get any pictures while at Girls Camp. But here are a few from Youth Conference.

They went repelling off of Dixie Rock. I really wanted to repel but couldn't since I am pregnant. Luckily I did this repel a few years ago with the institute counsel so I didn't feel so bad. 







Then we hiked up to where the Stake President was waiting with a message for us. There were two paths to choose from but this path looked like more fun!


It got pretty tight in some places and my belly did rub sometimes but I made it through. Good thing I am not any bigger though because this belly can't be sucked in. 



Its hard to believe but this is the crack that we hiked through.


We took the girls to Larsen's for icecream

Princess Festival


Karalee and the girls came up and stayed with us for the weekend. It was fun to have them! We thought we had better take advantage of this before our little baby comes along and we no longer have room for them to stay. We went swimming and went to the Princess Festival.


This was Avery's first time swimming and she loved it!! She just kept laughing and squealing!





The girls had lots of fun meeting all of the princesses. This is them with Cinderella. Kaylee dressed up as princess Tiana and Kimbry was Rapunzel.






They listened to stories.


And went on adventures.


And even got autographs from some of the princesses!



At the end they had a princess parade


Then we all went and played at Discovery Park




Mother's Day



Happy Mother's Day to both my mom and my mother-in-law. Both are wonderful women and we are so blessed to have them in our lives! The high light of mother's day was of course talking with my brother Jason and talking with Bryce's brother Jayson on their missions. Bryce and I split up again so that we could be there when our brothers called but we were able to listen or facetime so that we could talk with both of our brothers. We waited to tell other people that we are expecting a baby until after Mother's Day because we wanted to tell our brothers the news when they skyped home! They were both really excited for us. When Bryce's brother gets home next July he will have 4 new nieces and nephews to meet! Lots of changes in the Twitchell family! My brother Jason comes home in about a month and we couldn't be more excited!




Karalee joined the conversation through skype on the ipad.




Breanna's Graduation


Breanna graduated from high school! Its so crazy my baby sister is that old. My parents will be empty nesters. I'm not sure what they will do with all of us out of the house.


Breanna sang in the Senior Choir





 My baby bump started to show a little




Karalee, Shantelle, and I gave this cute present


Pedicures


Shantelle came down for a weekend before having to start school again. We had a girls day and went shopping and got pedicures! I love my sisters!



Avery wanted to join in for the fun!



Bryley's Blessing


Bryley Ann Brown was blessed by her dad on May 4th. 
Brian did a great job! We are so excited to have our cute niece come into the family!
