MiaMaid Sleep Over... yeah right, NO SLEEP!

Hahaha... so yeah I don't know why they call them sleep overs or slumber parties because there is very little of either one of those things going on! Instead there are prank calls, movies played, forking homes with some TP to finish it off, and of course talking and playing games! It was a weekend of fun and little sleep.



Right now we have - in order of the jail photo - Chelsea Smithee, Ashley Neilsen, Ami Stevens, Kristen Merrill and Sarah Morgan as well as (joined us on Sunday! but not pictured) Hannah Smith! Woot Woot! We are going to be loosing Ashley in just another week or so though which really makes me sad, but she's getting to go to the Laurels so I guess that I can't be too upset, I will still get to see her every Sunday in YW and most Wednesdays for Mutual... just will have to mawl her with hugs when I do! *evil grin*



We will miss you Ashley! You are one special girl who has the heart as big as Texas! Keep on smiling and jamming out to your own tune! hahaha You Rock!



So this was the "doll house" that was there for Brielle (a 2 year old) but while we were there it was used to house 4 grown teenagers! Hence all the giggles and the covering of the face because of embarressment! lol... it was hysterical actually and they didn't have any personal bubbles living in that house which is why it only lasted all of 5 minutes...



Ashley, Autumn and Ami (the 3 Amigos) playing around waiting for the other girls...



This is Ann Gutzman and Me... we are the responsible leaders of the MiaMaids. :)



Sarah is a character who is always pulling faces and doing weird things. In the first photo she was waking up the morning after and grabbed her scarff while trying to gather her things up and started to put it on... when we asked her what she was doing, she paused and then told us she didn't know. We all were rolling at that point, with little sleep and any reason to laugh, we did! We love her and her personality which always spices up the party... wait now that I think about it, there is always a party going on when Sarah's around. She tends to be loud, but makes us all laugh until our bellies hurt, so it makes up for it. :) We love you Sarah Morgan!



The girls messing around during a groupl shot, before the group shot though, Chelsea decided to steal the spotlight... what i love is the look on Ami's face in the backgroud! It looks like she should be in a horror film! hahaha... these girls are the best!




Here are the girls the night before, right after the Juno movie we watched, but skipped through. :) They were doing the song "Too Legit, Too Legit to Quit." It's kinda their song.... don't know why.



During the opening scene to Juno, the girls realized that my name appeared. So we rewinded and I took a photo... I must be famous! lol



This is Chelsea and Sarah trying to do the serious posing profile. But Chelsea couldn't stop laughing and Sarah had it nailed of course. She kept making Chelsea laugh even more though... funny girls!



The girls mauling Ami on the couch.



Chelsea and Kristen making cake batter cookies. They were awesome! Thanks again for introducing them to me this weekend! Now they are my favs!



This would be the work we did the night before to initiate Hannah Smith into our MiaMaids group! We wrote with sidewalk chalk on her driveway too with all our names so she knew who to blame for it. We love her though and were sad she couldn't come and stay the night with us!

On a serious note... These girls are so much more mature and of a higher caliber than I was when I was their age. I am so happy that I am able to be a part of the Young Woman's Program and truly have a testimony of it being divinely created. I love the gospel and the girls in the Union Ward and hope to be able to see them grow and learn things as they grow into adults. They are amazing and truly examples of the rising generation.
Stay close to the Lord girls and you can never faulter.

"Pray always, and I will pour out my Spirit upon you, and great shall be your blessing - yea, even more than if you should obtain treasures of earth..."
