i could get used to this...

We got to spend an amazing weekend as a family. It was so delightful to have Paul all to ourselves for a few days and to be able to do nothing but what we wanted to do. Caitlin and I both loved it so much.. i think she was a little disappointed when she woke up Monday morning to just me. Daddy is just the best.
Friday night we went to dinner and then to the BYU vs. Utah State game. It was a great game to go to as BYU was able to pull out the win in the end (THANK YOU Riley Neilson!) Caitlin actually did really well at the. She was content to sit on our laps and watch everything and listen to the bands and have snacks. I was very pleasantly surprised at this, so there may be more games in our future.

 

Saturday we slept in and then watched General Conference and got a treat between sessions. We found that Caitlin loves smoothies, which i'm not that surprised about since she loves fruit and she's getting really good at sucking out of a straw. We played outside a lot in the beautiful weather too.

Sunday we watched more conference and were excited to hear about the new Provo Tabernacle Temple. That will be really neat. Paul was also excited about the DR Congo temple because that was in his mission. One of the messages that we got from conference was to concentrate on being faithful in the small things and live life well everyday, that way we can be entrusted with even bigger things that the Lord has in store for us. Sunday night we went to Bailey's for a delicious dinner. Some of us got serious about croquet and we enjoyed more beautiful weather in the backyard.

My little family and the gospel mean more than anything to me. I am so thankful to be a member of the Church of Jesus Christ of Latter Day Saints that is led by a prophet of God. I am so thankful for all of my many blessings, and for the reminders of those blessings that i get in a constant everyday basis.
