Marina

Marina is from Estonia.  She was training in Salt Lake City for the past 6 weeks.  Jordan and Marina became fast friends and we loved having her with us!  We hope to have her stay with us this summer.

General Conference

It was another Family Fun Date!  This time a family trip to General Conference.  We had a few moans but everyone was on board to spend the Sunday afternoon attending General Conference.  I provided coloring material, follow the talk worksheets, fun facts about conference and snacks! 
 It is just an amazing building and listening to the choir sing was so angelic. 
 I gave each of our children a red folder with worksheets, crosswords, facts and journal writing material.  I also bribed them...who ever had the most filled packet would win a $20.00 gift card.  It worked!  They even told me the two hours went by so fast!  I loved watching them try to find the photo of the apostle when he spoke in the material.  Great talks on marriage, parenting and just trying to do YOUR best.  I also received a sweet text from Kathy Olson who was thinking of me during conference.
 Jason and his boys!
 All grown up!
A little chilly but a fantastic afternoon with the family!
