Assemblies, Screams, & Sixteen.

Another week has come and gone and this was one of the busiest in a while.

Here's what went on this week (and lately)...

Hurricane Valley Academy a couple weeks ago!

Assemblies! We put together another assembly this year because last year was such a success! Last year our assembly was on bullying, this year our assembly is on making good choices: standing up to bullying, saying no to drugs, and loving yourself! We have been to three schools already!!!

Two just this past week!

Little Valley Elementary!

Red Mountain Elementary (my old stomping ground)

After all our assembly madness it was time to get the Haunted House fundraiser in order.

My aunt and I head up this fundraiser because we love it! We had our first haunted house last year and decided to make it a tradition. 

This year we did an Insane Asylum theme and it was a huge success! We made $1, 380 in two nights and heard LOTS of screaming!!!!

Angel and Cecilee came and helped!

Probably my favorite picture from the Haunted House!

The bedroom scene...scary!!!

Closet scene with our nurse station behind.

Stairway

Jeff was our CRAZY therapist that uses the technique of shock therapy :)

Kitchen scene with our beloved Koloa family! Luci (our amazing cause) did all the makeup and they made our electric chair and this crazy canibal table.

Me as Molly (one of the Mollys) as a tour guide.

Syd came and helped too! It was a blast to have my family there too!

We also had a date night to Thriller with Cec, Angel, Syd and her two friends! :) It was a blast to be so festive!

 Then Syd turned 16! Her birthday was Saturday and she went on her first date and her first dance on her birthday. She was so excited but came home from the date heartbroken. Her close friend, Britton Shipp, was critically injured on the day date and is now in the hospital in a coma. She cried all weekend long and I felt so helpless, but we still tried to celebrate and make her feel special!

This picture cracks me up every time! After I showed her this picture she said, "How do people take cute candle blowing out pictures?" hahahahha!

We love our Syd and for her gift we redid her room! (Pictures to come!)

It was definitely a CRAZY week with ups and downs but overall it was a reminder to cherish the memories made each day, make relationships count, and never forget to be grateful!

We are going to doing a benefit concert for Britton within the next week or so, so stay tuned and be sure to support this amazing family!

Hope everyone has a great week, take a second to count your blessings.
