Standing on the corner one more time...

(Hate pictures of myself, but needed some proof that I still exist.)

Will you?

She will!

Savy and Taylor snuck over to Brighton's after seminary and decorated her room with chocolate kisses and flowers. He put up a big sign that said, "Now that I've kissed the ground you've walked on and showered you with roses, will you go to prom with me?" No pictures. :(

Later that night she came over and left her response. Here it is...CUTE!

More pictures

So quick, but so fun!

We had such a great time. So glad the whole family could come. Wish we could do it more often. And I'll admit it. After hearing Luke wasn't sure he wanted to come, I was kinda' glad to hear he cried at the airport because he didn't want to leave.
I don't have a lot of time to write much about the pictures-hopefully everyone else will chime in. I will say, notice the dads in park shot. Also look for the picture with Jeff running towards me, "You can see him saying, "Mo-om, it's not fair...'" Abby and Taylor-Jen you can take that one, and cute picture of Jen with the girls on the swing. (Em, I have a better picture of you on the playground, but the wrong one downloaded. When I get back to Scottsdale, I'll try and remember to upload the best one.

... and the Friday finale! The Statue walk downtown (love the new American Gothic), Mangos then ending up at the Easter Pageant.



CAM! So happy to see you and your beautiful family. It's been a LONG time, but not much longer.

post game fun

What's better than General Conference?

General Conference on Easter...

...with cousins!

And missionaries.

(The aprons are to save their white shirts. They're so kind and humble, they humored me and allowed the picture.)

Conference food tradtions:

waffles with homemade syrup (no more Mrs. Buttersworth at our house), opt. peanut butter

Cave Creek Tacos

Breakfast Nachos

***This year we traded bagels and fruit for doughnuts and then chili for Ribs and hot dogs. I don't think any of the kids felt bad about that.

(Don't you love Jeff's hair? He doesn't like me to do it for him...he likes it this way better. Independence is hard...for the mom!)

Love the conference packets! Taylor got them ready for his pre-conference FHE lesson. Thanks Tay. They helped the kids stay a little quieter on Sunday-except they did most of it on Saturday before conference even started.

OK Jess, we did something different with the treats to prevent some of the getting up and down. This time, before it started everyone filled their own private bowl and kept it nearby. Dad gave some magic words to listen for. Worked much better!

(Couldn't resist, he's just so cute.)
