My first Conference!

I have grown up in Utah and have never attended a General Conference before. I have seen my fair share, but it was long over due to actually go. It is madness there.


We went with our friends Shaun and Liz Hill. Some of you from AZ may know them. They now live in Utah with us and we have been able to hang out quite a bit.

All of Conference is good, but this one was excellent!! It does make a difference being there. No kids to distract you, no blanket and couch to tempt you to sleep, no phone calls or bathroom breaks........and the Prophet staring you down when he senses that you are not paying attention. Okay the last may not actually happen, but I don't want to find out.

Crazy girls

Raaaaarrrrrrrr.......................

Morgan, what are you wearing??? Or what aren't you wearing?

This is a house full of girls. We filled the living room with all the barbie stuff we(I) could carry.

Leyton just likes to be silly so as we were getting ready for church there was a soft,"Daddy wook..........hat!" from the hallway. She gets such a kick out of the silly things she does.

Mission reunion

Just as we were getting ready for our date night on Friday, Todds' old mission buddy called. He was on his way from Idaho down to Provo for the reunion and wondered if Todd was going too. Not exactly the date I had in mind, but something we couldn't miss. It was 5:15 and we needed to be in Provo(1 1/2 hours away) by 7:00. I had to call the babysitter and cancel until another day(I never like to cancel a babysitter!!!) and we had to get the girls and other things ready pronto. It was a rush and a little hectic, but we got there and had a good time....especially Todd. next time I will keep the babysitter and opt not to chase the kids around the church gym while talks were being given.

Work it, Girl!

We got a new camera so I had to try it out. Leyton was looking so pretty in her church clothes so we went crazy. Morgan and Rieley were both downstairs and that is why there are so many of Leyton and only one of them. Not that they haven't had millions of photo shoots that Leyton couldn't attend due to "nap time"......they can't complain, it was Leyton's turn for the spot light. Plus, didn't Rieley tell me that she hates pictures!? It seems that she has no problem posing when her Dad holds the camera...........this is just a preview of our Mother/Daughter relationship in the teen years, I know it. WHY???? How sad it will be when they hate me!
