I could go on and on about the experiences and the spirit you feel when you attend the Pioneer Trek - but I would fill a book - I just know that the feelings you get, and you are able to be a part of, are life changing. We were lucky to have all three girls plus Chris and I on the trail. What an AWESOME experience, was sure glad to come home though.....

Missed Birthday post! Not a missed birthday though...

Zoey is 17 (As of May 30, 2011) - And boy oh boy does she keep herself busy!!! She is I have to say "My Favorite" don't tell the others. She always tells me she loves me, gives me kisses and always tells me how thankful she is for everything. That little fart has turned into to a beautiful little lady. Yes I mean little, she is 5 ft and petite and dances to her hearts content. She has by far the smallest feet out of all us Gibbons Girls and the best hair! It does stink, but she never does. She just finished her 2nd year on the Riverton High School Dance Company and his heading into her Senior year as the SBO over Student Recognition at Riverton and the Dance Company President. She has been taking Dance classes over the summer with 2 different studios, who just love having her, and teaching dance camps with Tiffany Dance Co, to earn money. She runs errands for me with out fail, and spends all her extra time with her girl buds and her boyfriend. ( I know - he's pretty Ok - he can brown nose with the best of them!!!) She became a Ma this year - no not really but figuratively - on the Pioneer Trek and she loved it!! She loved her family and they loved her, even though most of them were bigger than her - well except Paige - but that's ok - Paige is already like family.

Happy Happy Birthday Zoey Bear!!! Sorry it took so long to post!
