GENERAL CONFERENCE FAVORITES
I love this combined lesson after conference when everyone shares their favorite talks and such. It was neat to hear Charity and Kelly's especially. I was proud of how many notes they took during the meetings and that they had such great things to share. It was a really great time this time, felt like everyone had really paid attention. The Spirit was so strong. I love that everyone can get something different out of the same talk. I didn't even get a chance to stand up there were so many :). That is a good thing. 4-10-16
PERSONAL PROGRESS
I am doing so well with Personal Progress right now! I'm so proud of myself! I received my first two ribbons on Sunday. Faith and Divine Nature. I'm almost done with a few others as well. I've decided to do the parent route, so it's a little more work than just the YW leader route. It's been really awesome though! Makes me happy :). 4-10-16
FAMILY MEETING
Nate took a half a day off and had us pick him up on our way to the Family Meeting. I was glad he could come :). It's much more enjoyable that way. I had a lot of fun talking with Nancy after about Jaxson and his girlfriend. I really can't wait til the kids are old enough to date. I think that will be fun in a way :). This is the great thing about Nancy- she gets me all excited about the next phase with her positive, fun attitude. 4-10-16
FHE
I taught about service and looking outside yourself with the mirror/window example from the Women's session of Conference. Such a great analogy. We decided we are going to put together some more homeless people bags. These will be a little different from the old ones we did since it's not winter, but I love that the kids are thinking about ways to serve. We watched the Jazz game as Charity's activity, and ate yummy cinnamon rolls for Kelly's treat. 4-11-16
PLAYGROUP
I absolutely loved playgroup this week! We were at the church again thanks to the weather, but it felt so relaxed! I have no idea what it was, because beforehand I was feeling extremely overwhelmed, but it ended up being very nice. A nice break. Minus Jack's little tantrums at the end, which I really could have done without... but other than that! 4-13-16
PLANTERS
Nate's plans for the garden planters are in full swing. We were able to pick up some of the supplies this week. Unfortunately the weather did not cooperate and we had a ton of rain instead, but Nate's been obsessing over it all and getting really excited :). It really is going to look nice when it's done, I can't wait :). Hopefully we can get enough of it done to plant our garden soon too :). 4-14-16
YW TRAINING MEETING
We had a Stake training meeting this week. It was really nice. I feel like those help me to re-focus my efforts in the YW and kind of re-evaluate where I'm at mentally. I feel like I need to be better at praying for the YW individually again. I want to be better at including the parents and keeping in touch with them. I would like to be closer with the girls... not sure how I'm going to do that, but I have a new resolution to pray about that as well. 4-14-16
MEETINGS
I am on the committee to help plan Mountain Man Rendezbous. Who knew that could happen. I've been wanting to help them make that more exciting ever since Kelly did it. So I went to the meeting and now I am in charge of getting a pond full of fish for the kids to catch with their bare hands and gut :). I'm so excited! ALthough, I wish I would have consulted Luke first, I don' tthink this is for him. It's clearly for me only. Not sure how I feel about that. But whatever. Maybe we can make it a usual thing for future years. Noah would love it :). Jack too :). Yep, I'm trying to justify my actions. After that meeting, I hurried over to KJH for Kelly's Hope Squad meeting. I'm so excited for her and proud of her willingness to be in this group! She was nominated which is always awesome, but she is willing to sacrifice one of her classes to take this class and be a part of this group. Sounds pretty involved, but I"m really excited for what she will learn. 4-15-16
LACROSSE GAME 2
We played Brighton today. WE were nervous because I guess they usually beat us, but not this year!!! We beat them 8-0! Kelly played awesome of course! She is on defense officially, and got to play during the first half and did great! Then toward the end of the game, they put her in as attack, just to see how she would do and she was amazing!! I was so proud of her! She had talked about being intimidated by that position and not wanting to play it because she didn't want to lose the game because of her, but she ended up really liking it and got in a pretty cool pass. It was a lot of fun to watch! Go Kelly! 4-16-16
GARAGE
When we pulled up after Kelly's game, we opened up the garage and forced everyone to help us clean out the garage together. It was so productive. I was so impressed with how much help we got from everyone and how quickly it went. It looks amazing! So good taht coming in the house make sme want to go back out because the house is not as clean right now. We went and got pizza after. 4-16-16
STAKE DANCES
Charity went to her second Stake dance tonight. Pretty exciting! Take me back sitting here listening to all that happened afterwards. I love that she has so much fun. She's such a good girl and wants to make sure everyone feels comfortable there and will ask the boys who don't look like they've danced as much. Just such a good girl. 4-16-16
