Confrence

WHY DOES CONFERENCE MAKE ME SO LAZY?

I HATE HOMEWORK.

HAPPY EASTER

Skiing with Grandpa

SPRING BREAK AND SKIING WITH GRANDPA- IS THERE A BETTER COMBO?
Princess, Grandpa, Dad, & I had one-on-one time to go skiing with grandpa. We had a rough first run, however. The line was ridiculously long since two of the main lifts were closed due to power problems. We then decided to try a harder run to kick things off. Princess, Dad, & I had done it before, but today it wasn't groomed. Thursday had brought a lot of new snow, so we were dealing with 3 feet of powder. It was difficult to navigate through the powder, and so falling was common. This wouldn't be too bad, except for we (Princess and I were the ones with problems) almost always lost our skis. By lost, I really mean lost. We had to dig through the powder to find them. The snow was too deep to put the ski back on, so you either had to get help or go without skis. Since I was far from the group, I started to hike down. (Mother Nature was on the floor laughing by now.) The skis kept falling back into the powder. Finally, Dad was able to help me. (Dad rocks.) Somehow, we managed to get onto the groomed runs and make it back to the lift. Luckily, we were all less grumpy seeing the lift line had shrunk considerably. (The power came back.) We then stopped to gorge ourselves at Alf's. The rest of the day was so much fun. We stuck to groomed runs, and had a ball. Grandpa gave me some great tips, and I can honestly say my skiing is a heck of a lot better. We were able to get in about a dozen runs the whole day, all of which were in perfect skiing conditions. Beautiful sunshine, glittering snow, white piled on the pine trees. There was just enough powder to make it fun on groomed runs. This was probably the best spring break skiing ever in the history of spring break skiing. (I would know this because, like most Americans, I have memorized the history of Spring Break skiing.) After the lines got bigger, and we were all perfectly exhausted, we headed home. We were all inflicted with nasty sunburns, but we were to tired to care. Mom made an awesome dinner, and we slept fully and happily ever after. :)

Oquirrh Mountain Temple Dedication

Today was the temple dedication for the Oquirrh Mountain Temple. Elder Uctdorf has asked LDS members to record thoughts of the dedication on record through journals. I count my blog as a journal, so it is important to me that I follow this council to post this. I felt the spirit very strongly, and there isn't a doubt in my mind about the blessings of the temple. I also noticed that Princess was also touched by the spirit on this special occasion. Now there are some certain points where you can see three dedicated temples at once, the Draper, Oquirrh Mountain,& Jordan River. This is a great blessing, and I know that we are a blessed generation.

GALOON!

We just went to LAGOON! Me, Princess, and Daddy went for an afternoon and had a really good time. We mostly rode the super-scary stuff. Princess rode everything w/ us, even the Wicked Rollercoaster that I just had to show above. She even rode the towers that blast you up. We had a really good time and hope to go again soon to use our Season Passports. :)

The Joys of the Mind of SamMan

Ah, SamMan has exceded our expectations as family comedian this weekend.



1. Yesterday, we were driving to Costco on another rainy day. (And, right now I'm listening to a heck of a storm starting to calm. Oop, nope I just heard lightning. Now, there is no more lightning. Now, I will continue on.) In the car, we had some semi-broken toys that we were going to take to the DI sometime. Since I'm sure that you are sick of me typing my thoughts, and I'm trying to make my blog more EXCITING!!!



So, I will just show you the conversation now.


SamMan: Can we get a new one of this toy?


Daddy: No, its just for littler kids like Willwam for their cribs.


SamMan: You might like it!!


SamMan: And it would make a FABULOUS PRIZE!!!!!!!!! (in a "The Price is Right" announcer voice.)

2. SamMan: Joshy, I'm gonna roast this marshmallow on the fire!


Jogus: I don't think we should do that.

SamMan: Why, what's the problem?!

3. (during family prayer.)

SamMan: Thank you for the food. Morgan is my girlfriend. She can't come over because its a Sunday, but once we made a cake. Amen.

Amen to that!

(Morgan is a neighbor who comes over often. SamMan is now convinced they are boyfriend/girlfriend.)

Confrence Weekend

I love confrence. It's such a great time to listen to the prophet and apostles and be with family. I loved all the talks, but my favorites were from Elder Hales and Ucthdorf. I felt the spirit very strongly, especially in their talks. We missed Grandma and Grandpa Mission, but we know that their hearts were with us, even thought they are hundreds of miles away in Beunos Arieas. It is exciting to think that next April Confrence I'll join my two uncles, my grandpa, two of my cousins, and my Dad, to go to Preisthood Session for the first time with my cousin Jeffery. Hope your confrence was as great as ours!!
