Avon

Well I have been selling Avon for awhile, but I just got another job. I am working as a Data Processing Executive for a Mud Warehouse. Sounds important, huh? Not really but it is a good job that i can take my kids along! Well since I won't have as much time to sell Avon I created a website. So I thought I would share it with you all, just in case anybody was in need of some Avon! The website is http://www.youravon.com/blemons . Anybody can order off the site and have it shipped directly to your house! Well sorry for throwing the sells pitch out there! Hope everybody is doing well!

Cheyenne got a new haircut!

This is Cheyenne before we cut her hair. She has been bugging me for awhile to cut her hair off, so I finally gave in. But I think it really looks cute!




This is her new haircut! She loves her new do!




This is us at Nate's 10 year highschool reunion. His reunion was this last weekend. I didn't get very many pictures though. But I thought this one was cute!




New Bikes!

Cheyenne and Mat got new bikes this last week! Cheyenne's is a princess bike(she wanted a barbie one but they were sold out) and Matt's is Spiderman. Cheyenne is riding so well without her training wheels! Matt decided he wanted his off as well, but I didn't get any pictures off his attempt to ride without training wheels.








This is my Uncle Mark and my Aunt Maria.

Here is my mom and and Dad!

Hey sorry it has taken me so long! What a two weeks I have had! Last week was Girls camp!




Last Monday I and 6 girls from my ward set off to Colorado to go on the 4th year hike. The ride up was quite enjoyable. I got to know the some of the girls a lot better. The girls I took up are wonderful girls! When we got there I loaded my 33 pound bag onto my back. I am a little worried at this point and we haven't even started! The girls assure me "Sister Lemons it's an easy hike!" So off we go! About an hour into our hike I am definatley starting to feel the burn. Then it happens, coming down a steep hill, I twist my bad ankle. I feel it start to swell! Not good! So I get it wrapped up and Doyle informs me that I can't carry my pack for awhile. He said that he would rather carry my pack than have to carry me out the next day. So there I am limping and packless enjoying my not so easy hike! The 4 girls I was with Kasey, Hannah, Mariah, and Kodi were carrying 6 packs between them! We some how managed to get to our camping spot at 4:30(we were supossed to get ther at 12:30). I went and stuck my ankle in the river to help the swelling. BIG MISTAKE! It was so cold it sent shooting pains up my leg! We then set up camp and ate dinner. After braiding hair for more heads than I can remember, Rick Palmer gave a really great talk for our fireside. Then we went to bed.









Next morning we got up and ate breakfast braided more hair and started again on our horrific journey. The whole trip back is up hill! It was hot and I was in awful pain! I carried my pack almost the whole way back. about 40 minutes at the end Hannah came back and carried my pack. about 1:45 I saw the most beautiful thing MY VAN! When I sat down in my van I felt so relieved!





















We then drove to camp. I was so tired when I got there I really thought about going home. But I stayed. We worked on our skit which was about Ruth and Naomi. The girls did a great job except for a few giggles! The next day the girls worked on their certification lunches then wrote their testamonies into Book of Mormons. That night was testamonie night. Almost every one of our girls stood and bore their testamonies include several investigators! Three of our investagators that went have decided to be baptized! I am so proud of our girls! That night it started to rain. And it rained all night and half of the next day! Laura and I had to take some sleeping bags to be dried. That night was bishop's night. What a spiritual night it was! The girls, on their own, gathered around the fire and sang church hyms. Then we went around the circle and shared our favorite scripture. It was great.






Friday we packed up and came home! I went home ate a Subway sandwitch, Took the longest shower, and crashed!
This is me at the end of last week!
