The Details of Today

1. Basketball: Jeremy lost his tournament game today. It was very very sad. He played his little heart out and we are so proud of him. Afterward Mark and I taught the Activity Days girls how to play basketball. It was entertaining and educational.
2. Motorbike: Mark is on his way back from PHX. He just got a new enduro. If he gets the other one working then we will have 3 for this weekend and hope to go dirting with some friends.
3. Owee: Jason came home with a bandaid on his knee. They say bandaids make everything better. Not true. When I took it off I could see why his teacher hadn't want to deal with it. Yuck and dirt and rocks under two big flaps of skin. Cleaning wounds is not my thing but I did my best. He screamed like I'd never heard but I hugged him and it was a sweet thing in the end.
4. Paleo diet: Jeremy started this monday morning. I'm not sure why he wants to do this... Only meat and fruits and veggies. He is the only one truly wanting to stick to it. I just ate a handful of cadbury eggs.
5. Mrs. Michael Phelps: Megan is finishing up her first month swimming with the Flagstaff Snow Sharks. The head coach really wants her to keep swimming because she has the perfect swimming body with her thin body and long arms. This coach is a great coach so I was surprised when she took me aside to talk about Meg. She's sees tons of water coordination and grace and potential. I told her we'd talk more about it in the fall. I had put Meg in for more of the "lessons" to help with strokes but had never considered a sport of swimming for her.
6. Watermelons are $1.88 at Frys. I bought 4 at 11am. We only have 1 left!
7. Scotty or Lauren. I voted Scotty. I loved his final song. I loved Lauren's too but Scotty should win it all. He is such a gentleman.

Jeremy and the tuba

I couldn't be prouder of Jeremy!! He started tuba this year and worked so hard he made the regional band!! we went to kingman to hear the performance on saturday and i was amazed. at the start of every song i thought, this is my favorite. then the next one would start and i would think, no THIS is my favorite. He is so amazing, awesome and such a hard worker. I love that kid!!

May the 4th be with you

I need a picture of Jason and his lightsaber for this one!

WC (does not stand for water closet)

The April 28-29, 2011 BYUWC (Womens Conference) is the annual get away I crave. My friend who is drowning in color-code personality analysis told me I have a lot of yellow; the fun-loving spontaneous color. Yes, it is true!... but only twice a year--womens conference weekend and my annual "honeymooning anniversary" getaway with my hub. I love the freedom of doing whatever I want, whenever I want and NOT HAVING TO MAKE DINNER! Yee-Haw!!

This year I loved loved loved the Bednar's talks so if they rebroadcast you'd do yourself well to tune in. Basics=Sister B had two little kids and was dealing with the trials we all felt back in the day. She prayed and prayed and prayed. She hoped for a glamorous answer like, "you need to take a hawaiian cruise, new hairdo, buy a new outfit or just have a spa day and pedicure." no, the answer was the same as it always is... scripture reading, prayers, living the gospel etc. she said she was already doing those things but was still feeling incapable. then she realized yes, she was going through those motions, but to really have them help her she had to do them with full intensity and change of heart.

I left the Marriott Center inspired!!
