So...It was a blissful night home alone on Saturday night! I was so tired after the weekend in St. George, I slept great with no interuptions! I was up early and headed to my mom's to pick up the kids. Just as I was pulling into the drive way, Laura came out to greet me and to tell me Colton had just fallen and might need stitches! Sure enough, he did! My mom and I took him to an InstaCare where he got three stitches next to his left eye. Poor guy! He was a trooper. He now has a black and blue eye, but the cut is starting to look so much better already. We made it back in time to go to Relief Society though! We took it easy for the rest of the day. I played Settlers of Catan with my parents and actually won! Which hardly ever happens! :) Now we are home and just trying to hold down the fort waiting for Ken to come home. Savannah went to school today and came home with a pilgrim hat made out of marshmellow, cookies and chocolate chips. She is really doing well in school. She loves it too!

Well, it's been a crazy few weeks! Ken is currently in Texas working and will be home in just a few days! YEAH! :) Last weekend I was scheduled to work and then I was going to go to Time out for Women with my in-laws. I took the kids out to my mom's house for her to watch them on Tuesday. We celebrated my Dad's 59th birthday with cake and games. We spent the night there and I headed to work on Wed. night just to be cancelled half way there! So I headed back to the kids and we hung out for another day. It was fun! Then I put the kids to bed and headed home thursday night so that I could get ready to go to TOFW the next morning. I was really looking forward to a quiet night by myself, but man what a hectic night! Daisy was going crazy to see someone after three days locked in Savannah's room. So she meowed loudy most of the night. And I forgot to bring Dakotas in for hte night, so around 1:00, he was barking so I got up to put him out. Then around 3:00, Roper was out in the yard wrestling with his dog kennel. Wow! I was so tired when I woke up at 6:00! The rest of the day was a lot of fun though! I got to St. George and did a little shopping before Alta and Cynthia and their friend Judy got there. We went to the Olive Garden for dinner and then headed over to the conference. It was so good the first night. Jason Wright spoke and it was very touching and the spirit was so strong. We headed to Dairy Queen afterwards and got ice cream then headed to our hotel. We all zonked out pretty quickly and we were up bright and early the next morning fot the rest of the conference. The speakers were amazing and Hillary Weaks sang which was also amazing! I espacially enjoyed listening to the woman who wrote President Monsons Biography. I am having a hard time remembering names right now. Anyway, what an honor it would be to spend so much time with the Prophet and to be so open to inspiration and the spirit. Another speaker was Miriama Cohlin (spelling?). She was a convert from Africa who went through unbearable trials and lost almost her entire family to war. And yet she rose above and served a mission and is an inspirational speaker now. She was pretty amazing. She told of a time she knelt in a coat closet and said a prayer for the Lord to deliver an African person to her to teach while at Temple Square, and ten minutes later, she was teaching a man from Africa about the gospel. Such amazing faith! I was so uplifted and it was a great feeling remembering who I am and what I am capable of. Knowing that I have a Heavenly Father that loves me and knows me. I have been struggling lately feeling worthy of anything and feeling like life was downright crappy! But after hearing the testimonies and the trials of others, I was reminded of my blessings! It was such fun to hang out with my mother and sister in law! They are wonderful examples and I really am blessed to have them in my life. We all had a great time!
