June 7 -- "Has it only been one day? Long, hot shower, the best part of my day..."
June 9 -- "It's only Wednesday. All my muscles are angry at me. Yesterday, Dave told me he wanted me cross-trained on the river. I told him I was unsure about that... but I would try. Well, today I tried--bad idea.
June 11 -- "Yesterday it rained... a lot... again... There was an awesome hail storm. Everything in our tent got soaked. Hail was piled up everywhere; it was crazy... It will probably snow tonight."

June 22 -- "Camp is a lot more fun with scouts! I'm hosting a really great troop this session--Orchard 5th Ward. Funny thing--that's Ben Brown's ward! They love me. I love being loved. T.J. and Tesia and I snuck into a hotel's hot-tub last night. It was crazy fun. We ran around in our swim suits and got fro-yo's at Maverik. Good times!"
July 1 -- "How much longer until I quit failing at love? ...One troop this week nicknamed me "Blue Suede Sparrow." Then there was a scout who said I was a "G," after I fixed his helmet for him and showed him my awesome muscles. I don't know what being a "G" is all about. Is it kinda like a "G-ma?" I'll never know. Another troop called me "Aunt Jess," and presented me with a NERF gun on the last day, because I was so cool. They're all awesome in their own little ways."
July 5 -- "COPE was fun today. Tesia, Taylor, and I played M.A.S.H. and talked about boys... Jordan has been catching potguts. We put one in a little pink hamster ball and put it in Adam's tent. Went "branty" swimming last night... Long story..."
July 9 -- "Really? This week flew by. Fun water fight with two twin scouts named Tyler and Tanner."
July 14 -- "I'm really afraid of heights... This is a problem."
July 19 -- "Scout Master Dean, Toley the Russian, Levohn (whose real name was Jeff), Jake, and Dave the dentist. Fun group of scouts. Toley gave me flowers the last day. Okay, so technically they were weeds, but they were pretty and made my day! This weekend... Ready? Mountain sunbathing, streaking through the wilderness, Katie and Cody randomly showing up at camp, date with Levi, Bubba's, Taylor Swift in the car, windows rolled down, Katie + Me in 1 sleeping bag, all night long, no sleep, early church, my parents speaking, goodbye, back to my church, seeing Sam for the first time all summer, scratching Levi's back during Sacrament Meeting, potluck with Rendon, exhausted, fall asleep at 10, wake up, new day!"
July 22 -- "Last night there were bugs crawling around in my pajamas. By 3 am, I pulled two beatles out of my bra. I did not sleep well."
July 25 -- "A day for red lipstick... Yesterday, a bunch of us hiked around Phelp's Lake and jumped off the giant rock. I didn't jump off the rock. Tesia, Taylor, Caitlin, and I swam away from everyone and decided to go skinny dipping. It was awesome. But, man, my blistered feet are pretty bad. Tesia, Juice, Sadie, and Devon all took turns carrying me back to the car. Kaitlyn, Liz, and I slept on the kitchen roof last night. Full moon. Sweet!"
July 31 -- "Goodbye July. Today it rained. Hunter, Taylor, and I went to the pool, then it started pouring. On the way home, we stopped and chased a random loose peacock. We got soaked and I got a headful of cockel-burs. It was awesome!"
August 5 --"August has been fair to me. Hold on... my tent is blowing away. Alright, my tent is tied down now. I forgive August for the blazing heat, wretched wind, and terrible thunder storms that keep me awake at night."
August 8 -- "Johvan... I can't even find the words to describe him. We all loved him, and he was gorgeous (for a boyscout). Taylor, Tesia, and I wrote a lullaby for him. It went a little like this (to the tune of Down in the Valley): Down in the valley, valley so deep; Is little Johvan, deeply asleep. When he is sleeping, he never wakes; When little boy scouts, try to pull pranks. After 10:30, everyone Shh.......... Johvan is sleeping, inside his Shh.......leeping bag."
August 14 -- "Camp is over. Summer is ending. It's starting to get cold. I'm sitting outside trying to hold onto my tan... I should go write on my blog... Just the summer highlights, of course. There's no conceivable way I can squeeze my entire scout camp summer into one blog post."
