Just want to give a shout out to this amazing, self-motivated girl! At the beginning of last year, Stephanie Cope, the Beehive adviser, gave her girls a challenge to read the BOM in a year. She had a time line all printed out on what the girls should read each day. Halle was not yet…
We sure know how to Party Hard. The fun didn’t stop after Christmas, that’s for sure. Sat morning my Dad told Josh he had a suprise for him and told him to get in the car. My Mom, Landon, and Rusty came too. On the way over they asked him if he had any idea…
