A Little Late!

but HAPPY EASTER!!!
We went up to Zion National Park for the weekend with my cousin and her family and my parents. We had so much fun and it was beautiful up there.

Alexa's Many Nicknames!!!

Alice in Wonderland-
We have had a lot going on the past few days. A friend that I use to work with up in Utah was in town so we went down to the strip and ate at the ESPN Zone and watched the Fountains. Alexa and Alice lived it. (Alice was conducting the fountains.)When I told Alexa that Alice was coming to visit she said, "is it the real Alice in Wonderland from Provo?"

Chuck and Joshy Washy-
We went to the park and to eat with some guys. Chucky, or as Alexa says, "Chuck" was brave enough to sit between the two kids in the back seat.

We went this weekend to go see my friend Jenny and her husband and baby who were up in Utah. No nick name for them, but Alexa did name her shoes after Jenny!!!

On our way back from Utah we dropped off Alexa to see her Grandma and some family. She wont be home till Tuesday so we will miss her.

A few other nick names that Alexa has given people:
My mom is the Bock Bock Grandma
Savany Wanny Love Heart
K.T. is now Kade
Uncle Will is her Cuddy Buddy
Grandpa is PuaPua
Her blanket is Slucy

Feeling Spiritually Fed!!!

This past week has been a great one. Not only am I on spring break and don't have to work, but I also had the opportunity to go up to conference and hear from the prophet. I take for granted and probably really don't truly comprehend how lucky I am to have a living prophet here on earth and to be able to get guidance and instruction from him. A friend from work has been taking the missionary discussions and has committed to being baptized at the and of April. We got tickets (they are free, but it is hard to get in because so many people are trying to go!) given to us so that he could go and see what it was all about.

Driving up to Utah was a spiritual experience in itself. I had Alexa in the car and ended up having to drive a separate car by myself. The weather was bad and it was snowing and very windy. Around Beaver, Utah I hit some black ice and my car lost control. Amazingly I was able to stay calm as it was happening. It seemed like an eternity. Alexa and I were carrying on a conversation as it was happening to try to keep each other distracted. As we were spinning I told her I was glad we had on out seat belts. She then said to me not to worry because she had said a prayer. Her perfect little faith knew that we would be fine because she had prayed and asked Heavenly Father to keep us safe.

During conference, a new member of the quorum of the twelve apostles was called. I was really excited because my best friend's husband's uncle, Neil Anderson, was called. I have only met him once, but have heard a lot about him from my friend and he is an amazing man. As we were asked to sustain him as a member of the twelve, it reaffirmed my testimony that all of these men are called of God and are here to serve the Lord and to guide and direct us. I hope that I can take the things that I have learned this week and make myself a better person.

PS. A friend and I were interviewed while we were up there for mormon.org. If it ever shows up on their I will link it.
