Conference Weekend

what a wonderful weekend it was. I love this time of the year even though it's still cold I love the changes that seem to take place in my own life and those that I am around. I will start with Friday night, I had to run over to my brother Andrew's to pick up our vacuum and air mattress so that my mom could have a place to sleep for the weekend. A few weeks ago I babysat my two beautiful nieces so my sister in law Amber could take Andrew out for his birthday I had mentioned to my niece that is two that we would have to go to MacDonald's sometime to play. Well she remembered and she asked when I got there if today I would take her to MacDonald's to play. I decided why not I had nothing planned so she asked her mom and dad and we got her car sit in my car and were on our way. I called Wain to see where he was and he was at home so we stopped and picked him and we all went to MacDonalds's. It was TONS of fun, because I love my niece so much. She brings such a joy into our lives and she is so dang smart. She knows the national anthem, the abc, twinkle twinkle little starts, and so much more. Thank you Andrew & Amber for letting us be part of your lives, and for letting us tend your kids. I love all of my nieces and nephews so much. Kids say the darnest things, and I love it. Here are a few pictures from our outing.





Saturday Morning we (mom & I) went to the morning session of General Conference. We had pretty good seats. My mom was able to get some really good pictures which I probably will NEVER see. She got one of my Uncle Dave's brother who is in the 70's Yawning. It was pretty funny. It was nice to spend the day with my mom. It doesn't happen very often. After Conference we went to my brother Thomas's house and spent some time with them and went to lunch. Then we headed back down to Provo so that my mom could see her other grandkids, and to make cookies with Kylee. Kylee wanted to spend more time with grandma so we took her that night, and we had to watch barney and dora. That kid doesn't know how to sleep but grandma sure has the special touch. I love waking up to kids, she came in our room around 8am and I asked for more dora, I just can't help but say YES. We played til it was time for my mom to take her back to parents. Then it was time to watch conference.


We don't have cable so we watched conference on our desk top which worked out to be great. I love conference to keep myself awake I take notes, and it's fun to look back through years and see what I had learned during those times. There were many talks that I loved and I look forward to getting the Ensign and being able to read, study and ponder them. I feel like I am always a better person after conference. There are a lot of times I get down on myself, thinking I'm not doing enough. That I am NOT the best wife, that I am NOT the best cook, that I am NOT this and that... and I know the Lord doesn't expect me to be the best at everything. He expects me to try and be the best at what I can be. I'm thankful for the reassurance that the Lord loves me, and that He knows me personally and that He knows of my pains and my sorrows, and joys and happiness. I know that have so much to do help bring the gospel to those I'm around. I don't share my testimony enough. Its something I have made a goal to do, it doesn't matter how I share it, it being through this blog, facebook, over the pulpit at church, I just need share it, and not be afraid to share it. I know Christ lives, I know that the gospel of Jesus Christ was restored through the prophet Joseph Smith, I know that we have a living prophet who guides us in these days, I know that Christ atoned for my/our sins. I know that I want to return and live with Him someday. I'm grateful for the temples, and I need to dedicate more of my time doing His work. I know that families are eternal, and that I am so grateful for that I get to be with my wonderful husband FOREVER. I'm grateful for my family. Each one of them has made a difference in my life in which I am so grateful for.
After the morning session we went over to the Greenway's to watch the afternoon session and to have dinner. I made twice baked potatoes and they sure were good. We also had steak and asparagus. Everything was so yummie. I had a power nap after dinner and then we all watched Tangle. Such a cute movie. Well that's all for know. Tell we meet again :)
