General Conference Weekend

I wish I would have had the camera. We decided to go up to Salt Lake this past weekend. We grabbed the Lehi bunch and spent half the time with Brad's parents and half with mine. We went ice skating at the Olympic Oval. That place is HUGE!!! The kids had a blast. I realized the aerobics I've been doing 3x a week are doing me good. I wasn't even sore and had the muscles to skate. WOO HOO
You should have seen Bethany. She loved it!! At 2 1/2 yrs old she was skating all over. She had a miniature old person walker thing that she just pushed around the rink. We couldn't tell her which direction to go or touch her. She was excited to be on her own. Very determined to do it by herself. Becca, Bradon and Bo had been before so they were pretty good. It took Darci a bit to figure it out. Jene' (being the little dancer she is) kept trying to go on her toes --toe pick on ice skates. She got better as the evening went on. Harley switched to hockey skates and liked them much better. Brad took a nice fall on his wallet that left a bruise the same size on his buttocks. Lucky him, that was the only time he fell. I took about 4 spills, but it was a blast!!!

Conference was exceptionally awesome and I can hardly wait for the Ensign to come out. My favorite quote: "Your future is only as bright as your faith" --Pres. Monson

I loved that we were encouraged to keep moving forward and to read the conference talks!
