For some reason, I can't download the pictures from my camera, so I'll have to post some photos from last week when I can figure out what is going on.
Conference weekend was amazing as always. The girls had a sleepover at my parents house, and apparently, they have decided that it will now be a "Conference Weekend Tradition". My mom also had a turkey dinner at her house on Sunday. It was a lot of fun to get together with my family.
I love listening to the leaders of the Church of Jesus Christ of Latter-day Saints. I know they are men chosen by God to lead the Church at this time. I loved Elder Holland's talk about the Atonement. I also really enjoyed President Uchtdorf's talk about the Savior. I love, love, love this church, and can't imagine my life without it.
The following is something I have been thinking about a lot lately. Life was meant to have challenges, it is part of the plan. Sometimes I feel so weak because of those things that I struggle with but I love the scripture in Ether 12:27 that brings me peace:
27 And if men come unto me I will show unto them their weakness. I give unto men weakness that they may be humble; and my grace is sufficient for all men that humble themselves before me; for if they humble themselves before me, and have faith in me, then will I make eweak things become strong unto them.
No matter what happens, the gospel is true, and it will always be so. I have been so blessed by the Lord and pray that I may do those things that He would have me do.

I'm looking at your blog but nothing is sinking in :) I'm so tired! But fine. Things were crazy this weekend and I missed most of conference but I really loved what I heard. We had family stuff that kept coming up. I'll probably blog about it.

Oh Debbie. That was simply beautifully said. I too just felt the spirit so strongly with each talk in conference. Times are getting tough but the Lord will always be there to help us! I too have struggles and I've never felt alone! We're so lucky to have the privilidge to know the fullness of the gospel! I was going to blog about conference too! So touching these sessions were!

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...
