Here I am

My oh my, it has been a while since I posted. The last few weeks have been crazy busy. I took Katey back up to school. Flew out on Thursday and back on Saturday. Last weekend I went to BYU Womens Conference. You are looking at the one and only photo I took. Yes, 3 California girls in the slush. We are easily amused. Conference was great and spending time with friends even greater. The highlight of the conference of course had to be hearing and seeing the Prophet speak. He reminded us that" everyday is a special occasion -- a day to call an old friend, talk to family, send a note, give a compliment, give a hug". He also said that we should "never let a problem to be solved be more important than a person to be loved". Well there you have it. I will be working on these for a while. Sister Julie Beck was one of my favorites. She blew me away I guess thats why she is the Pres. and finally I attended a class on children's literature. This is one of the loves of my life and it was a great class. Basically, any of you out there reading this if you have kids, turn off that dang tv and read, read, read to your kids. Ok, so I have been thinking of all the things I should have posted in the last few days and weeks. I may just let them go or I may post them late (ex: mothers day).

And finally: to my stalker Korie--Welcome. I am so excited you fessed up. I am going to check out your blog and leave a post too. It's kinda weird how you can find people when you blog hop! And if there is anyone else out there stalking me show yourself. Just once so that I will know that I am not talking to myself.

Do I really look like that all the time or just at the end of a really long day?

You are so cute!!! What were those kid's books that you recommended a while back? I think they were princess books or something similar. I would love to get them for my girls. We love reading!

Have you heard of the Walter the Farting Dog books they are hilarious and Cole LOVES them..of course he does they are about a dog with some serious gas. haha

Womens Conf. sounds like a great time. Thanks for sharing a tidbit from our Prophet. And thanks for my formal welcome! I was laughing so hard when I read it. At least we both know I'm not the only one that does it :)

You are in BIG trouble- I wanted to go to Women's Conference so bad this year- but I didn't have anyone to go with...and you didn't even stop by to see the new place- shame on all of you. But I'm glad you had a great time... later- Heidi
