CRAZY!!!

Life has been crazy these last few weeks. So that is why I have no updates. There is plenty going on. We have started soccer and this year I have three playing this season. Nicole and Megan are in the same bracket this year so they will play each other. How exciting for us. Megan's team was number 1 last fall and Nicole's was in the bottom 3 in the fall. They play each other for the first time on Saturday and we won't even be there. It is Helen and Clair's 50th anniversary and we are all going to dinner at Maddox to celebrate. And Mindi gets married Friday. We have had a week of wedding showers and temple attendance what could be better. Gracie has had three games and played 2 of them. They won the first one and lost the last two. I had to be the coach for the last one. I'm glad i am not that all the time. I will keep you informed. Hopefully I will have pictures to post after this weekend. I will have to remember my camera or make Nicole remember hers.

General Young Women Meeting

Nicole performed on Saturday night at the General Young Women meeting. Wow! What an experience. All I could do when they got up to sing was cry. The spirit was amazing. President Eyring's talk was great his emotions where so close to the surface. It was an amazing experience to watch the Prophet walk into the conference center. And all go quiet. We had great seats we where on the plaza level and we could watch Nicole the whole time. For all of you if you get a chance to watch her she was behind the organ 2 rows up and 3 seats in you could see her during the song "How Firm a Foundation" it will be broadcast again on Sunday the 6th at 6:30 a.m. and then on the 11th at noon. Thanks for the info Peggy. What an amazing experience this has been for all our family. I can't express how awesome it has been. Nicole is so grateful for the experience and so are we as her parents. Thank you Celiece and Pam and Nancy for going with us and sharing in such an awesome experience. We had a great time with you guys. We need to do that again.

Nicole and the Conference Center!

Saturday for us began very early. All six of us left the house at 6:30 a.m. and drove to Salt Lake City. Nicole had to be in the Conference Center at 9:00 a.m.Marilyn Webb has been the chorister for the girls. She is from Salt Lake and she is so funny and just an awesome lady. Nicole has loved every minute of working with her. She has such an amazing way with the girls she has made it enjoyable and such a rewarding experience. Nicole is two rows up from the organ. At the end of the practice they allowed the parents to come take pictures of the girls. As you can tell Nicole wasn't aware Jerry was there snapping shots. The girls sound amazing!! That is such an understatement i'm sure. You can feel everything that is in there hearts I believe this is an experience they will never forget. As you can tell the girls where really good while we sat for 3 hours. Olivia finally gave up at the end of it. She had had enough and I was glad to have her go to sleep for awhile the questions where getting to me. They really were good kids for such an event to seat at. After the practice was over we ate and took the kids to "Horton, Hears a Who" it was really cute and I am proud to say that Olivia and Gracie finally sat through a movie. We had a great day! I did feel bad the little ones missed out on any egg hunts for the day but thanks to Grandma Marsha they did get to have an egg hunt the next day.
It didn't turn out really good but you the idea.
