Pre-school graduation

Cannon finished his first year of pre-school with Mrs. Jodi. One more year with our favorite teacher and then kindergarten. He looks forward to school everyday-wearing his backpack makes him feel so big. I call him my "2 for 1 deal!" Heavenly Father gave me 5 kids-Cannon counts for 2! He is SO stubborn and SO full of life! Love that kid

Just had to share

These two being the only ones at home get alot of playing time in. Brinklee loves Cannon and follows him around everywhere. So glad I've still got these two babies around for awhile before they're both in school and no ones here!! What will I do with myself? For now we are gearing up for a BUSY summer with all 4 home!! Wish us luck

Womens Conference

Well, I have a new tradition every April-Women's Conference. It was my first time ever going and it was SO amazing. I came home feeling like a new woman. A new desire to be a better wife, mom, daughter, friend and neighbor. It was like going to EFY all over again and having that fire burn within you to give the strength and the courage to go on.

It was so good to be with my sister, my sister's friend Missy and sister in law Heidi. Love those two and my SWEET mom. She spoke Friday morning. We were there on the front row with our imaginary signs and banners. She talked on loneliness and did such a great job. I was reminded that we all feel lonely at times and the Savior is there for us.

Cute dad was our chauffeur. With his "A" parking pass and mom's "presenter" pass we had the best parking in town!!

Some other highlights for me were running into some dear friends, shopping of course and spending time with family without kiddos!

Till next April. All our invited to Hotel Whetten. Make your reservation today-its gonna book up fast!

Gila Valley Temple

We took our kids to the Gila Valley Temple Openhouse. It was a so neat to be in the Celestial room with all of our kids. I remember going to the Chicago Temple openhouse when I was 6 years old. I remember the spirit which I felt and I remember knowing I wanted to be married in the temple someday. I hope my kids always remember the spirit they felt as we all looked into the mirrors in the Sealing room and talked about being sealed for time and all eternity.Such a GREAT experience and we are so glad we went.
