Carter, Derrick, and Evelynn

Hey guys!! Daddy and I love you very much.

Conference Center

This is in the tabernacle. We were able to hear an acoustic demonstration. There are no microphones it was pretty amazing the sister missionary was at the podium and dropped pins and you could hear them as clear as a bell. Did you know that there are over 11,000 pipes to the organ!!!! Holy cow. Our tour guide at the conference center said that she has been told that the mormon tabernacle choir prefers performing at the tabernacle.


The conference center was amazing. The building covers 6 acres and the roof is 4 acres. There is so much art in the building. We were able to go on a tour and see paintings of all the apostles and bronze busts of all the presidents for the church. It was so cool.







We thought that this was so beautiful.

These are actually the skylights

This is on the roof of the conference center and this water fountain symbolizes the gospel spreading to the four corners of the earth.

Temple Square

This is Tyson's first time every being at temple square. I am so happy to share this time with him. We first went to the Joseph Smith Memorial Building and saw a movie at the Legacy Theater. They are playing Joseph Smith Life of a prophet and oh my goodness has it strengthened both of our testomonies of the restoration of this gospel. I am so grateful to that man and his endurance and strength in all of his trials as well as Emma, what a woman of God she was.

After the Movie we went to lunch at the Navoo Cafe it was so good we had some sandwiches a some really yummy rasberry bread pudding. We then walked around Temple Square and admired all of the beautiful scuptures and flowers and the sweet spirit that makes me never want to leave.

Easter Sunday

I know all mom's say this, but my kids really are the most beautiful things in the world. I am so blessed to have such a good looking healthy happy family. The Lord truely has poured his blessing's upon me and I testify that the only way for us to recieve of His love is through the atonement. I know that Jesus died on the cross for me so that I can return to live with my Heavenly Father and that it is my responsibilty to teach my children all I know about Him so that they will gain their own testimony of this truth so that they can join me in paradise.

Easter Fun

Ok so we are crazy. We took the kids to the Zoo's Egg Scramble and wow were there a lot of people. The kids had a great time, except Derrick got trampled by some brat oops I mean a child that was a tad aggressive. I helped Derrick salvage what was left of his pride. Carter of couse ran faster than most of the others so he got quite a loot. We also saw a tiger up close that was so cool for the kids to see.
