parents weekend

My parents came into town on Thursday (3.30) and got to stay for conference weekend. It was their first time to see our new house and stay with us so that was fun. We had a very nice and relaxing weekend with family. Of course Caitlin got spoiled from all the attention and loved every second of it. I just never take enough pictures of everything.
Friday I hung out with my mom and Caitlin while my dad skied then that night we all had dinner together then headed to Cassie's Women's Chorus concert. It was only her choir and they sang about 12 songs. It was beautiful, and of course always fun to see Cassie up there singing. Afterwards we went for frozen yogurt.  
Saturday we watched conference and ran some errands throughout the day. The boys went to priesthood session that night while us girls went and saw "Beastly". I hadn't seen any previews for it but it was actually really good! It was totally predictable and maybe a bit cheesy but really clean and a cute movie. Caitlin liked it too, she sat in her car seat watching for almost the whole movie.  
Sunday was my Dad's birthday! We watched more conference and had a delicious dinner with everyone. Then we had the traditional Pelton birthday cake and played some games. My dad is one of the kindest  and most loving people I know. It was fun to celebrate with him.
Monday we met up with Cassie at BYU and had lunch with her at the Museum of Art, then helped her prepare to try out for Young Ambassadors. While sh was in her tryouts we ran some errands and also got to tour the Carl Bloch exhibit at the Museum of Art. There were some beautiful paintings, some that i was so familiar with seeing at church that i didn't even know he was the one who painted them. He was truly an inspired individual. That evening we went to dinner at CPK with everyone.
