Easter 2009 Dress pictures

I haven't taken pictures of the girls in about a year for Sydney and 1 1/2 for Mallory. I am bad. My friend got a new camera and the girls had their new easter dresses, so we had a photo shoot in the canyon. They turned out great. Thanks Bethany for practicing on us. Tell me which ones you like the best!

What happened to March and April?

I'm behind on my blogging but we have been busy having fun!

I hosted my last week of Sydney's Preschool at our house. We practiced writing our ABC's, went bowling with a coconut and then tried eating some. We made a crab and danced alot!(....Well I made about 8 crabs. he he gotta love it!)





I had a rough couple of weeks emotionally and had lots of support from family and friends! Love you all! My sisters came down for part of a weekend. Vanessa gave us massages and Rachelle and Tenley entertained the girls!








I worked Easter weekend so the girls went to Aunt Shabree's house to dye eggs and play. Zach went to a Utah Jazz games with some friends. Sunday the girls found their baskets and new dresses. I taught the Easter lesson in Young Womens after working all night and pray that it made sense. More pictures to come.




Then, I worked extra shifts during the week and was exhausted. I had said a silent prayer that if I filled in for people at work, then things would fall into place and my girls would not be neglected and I would get some sleep. Thanks to Hubers for the babysitting and Rachelle's help on Friday. It was worth it because Zach and I had a great weekend away in Salt Lake. We stayed in the Romeo and Juliet Room at Anniversary Inn. http://www.anniversaryinn.com/rooms.php?room=67
We did some shopping and ate a Tucanos Grill. Then we went and watched the Broadway Play "WICKED". It was better than I could have imagined. (Thanks Eddy and Val the girls loved their sleepover,hiking and the bonfire!)

General Conference

I will be honest I worked Friday night and did not watch Saturday Conference yet. But I did go to the Young Women Broadcast last week and that was amazing and the Prophet was inspired to talk about things we are struggling with our Young Women. We had my Sisters over Sunday and we watched both sessions of conference sunday. They were really powerful. I wanted to write down some of my thoughts from these sessions before I forget them.

1. I was so thankful for the talk on the Savior and that he has of course experienced everything and we are never alone.
2. More than once speakers said we have more help than we know from the other side.
This was very special to me because when I really need my Mom I feel she is still there helping me and closer than I know. It was a testimony that they are not very far away and that they are not too busy to look after us still.
3. I need to reach out to the lonely more and be a better friend. I need to serve more and enjoy the blessings also.
4. I need to be more willing to share the gospel with my friends.
5. I deeply want to be able to go to the temple more often and should make it a goal to go at LEAST once a week.

I will have to add to this list after I watch the Saturday sessions. I am always uplifted, strengthened and inspired to be better after conference.
