BYU Women's Conference

Last Friday I went to Women's Conference at BYU. It was amazing. My mom came, and my sister flew in from California. We met up with my sister in law, and Mike's Grandma (who was nice enough to let us sleep at her house on Thursday night). We had such a wonderful time. We went down just for the Friday session. I decided that I am going to make this an annual event, and be there for the Thursday session also. It was so neat to be around so many neat people and listen to so many wonderful talks.

Mike was so nice to take the day off on Friday to watch the kids so I could go. President Monson was the concluding speaker on Friday. As he left the building, he turned around and waved to everyone, and then gave us all of a "thumbs up". As he did this I thought about how busy his schedule must be and how neat it was to see him take time to pause, and look at everyone in the crowd on his way out. He is truly a prophet of God. I knew it when I saw him sustained at General Conference, and this was just another testimony to me. What an amazing man!


Here is a photo of me, my mom and my sister in front of the BYU Bookstore. Mike really loves BYU and wants to move back to Utah County someday so our kids can be closer to the school. There is such a neat feeling on campus.

Scotlyn's Birthday Party

Scotlyn's birthday is this coming Thursday, but because her birthday always falls around General Conference time, we try to have her party the week before conference. She has been counting down the days until her party all week. It was a lot of fun, and was so nice to have her party outside this year. Every year on her birthday, the weather has been cold, until this year. This is a picture of her a couple of days ago, when she decided she was going to build a hot air balloon and fly to Salt Lake. She packed a change of clothes in her backpack and took food with her in the box. She also had a few toys with her, but when she was ready to fly, she realized that there was not room for her to sit in the box. She kept saying to me, "Mom, this is really going to work. I'm going to Salt Lake, I'll be back later". It was too cute. She never did make it to Salt Lake, but she didn't seem too disappointed that she didn't fly. I love how at this age, they lo...
