Pictures (and video) of the Week

Conference/Easter weekend.
It seems to me that Easter is the perfect time to have General Conference. I wish it could happen the same time each year. It just fits.
We had a marvelous weekend on many levels. Of course we thoroughly enjoyed listening to conference- hearing the inspiring words of our leaders. Makes you just want to kick it into gear.
Easter was also lovely. We colored eggs, made brown bag bunny baskets (old family tradition), and had lots of candy. Kyle made sure the girls knew that the Easter bunny is a big fat lie (a pretty ridiculous tradition, I might add myself), so hopefully they understand that Easter is really about our Savior. There is nothing else I hope to pass on to my children more than a strong testimony that Jesus Christ is our Savior and He lives today. He strengthens and blesses me daily.
Best of all, we got to enjoy General Conference and Easter all while in the beautiful surroundings of a cabin high up in the mountain tops. Thanks, Jenny and Steve! There is nothing like being surrounded by only trees and snow...enough snow to bury your youngins'...while standing. We had lots of good old fashioned fun. I must say, there is something extremely freaky about flying down a mountain on a little piece of plastic, heading for a mound of snow that you are certain will send you soaring to your death (or at least a sore tail bone). I quickly learned that I do not have "jump landing skills." Then again, most of us didn't.
