in case you're off to Provo this weekend...


Women's Conference at BYU is this Thursday & Friday, April 30 - May 1. In case you're going to be there, make a special effort to attend Julie Beck's session at 9am on Friday at the Marriott Center. I hear the musical numbers are going to be magnificent.

You guys, we are singing at Women's Conference. It's going to be my mom, my sister Sarah, and I, plus my amazing cousins: Shanna, Lydia, BriAnne, Katie, Allison, Mindy, Jenny and my aunts Elaine and Evelyn. And lets not forget the little girls, Julia, Rachel, and Emma who sing a mini-solo that is my favorite part of the whole bit.

We are accompanied by a harp, flute, and cello. It is such a gorgeous arrangement, for which I have to give credit to the amazingly talented Annette Dickman.

To be honest, I wasn't nervous until about 30 seconds ago when I found this picture while searching for Women's Conference images.


I was picturing more of a quaint fireside. I know Women's Conference is huge, but I've never been, so I didn't really wrap my mind around the reality of what that means...... until now.

See you there!

speaking of juevos

So I checked the status of the birds nest in the fake plant yesterday. If you'll recall from the Easter post below, there were 2 eggs in the nest on Easter. As of yesterday, there are 5 little eggs!




I also managed to sneak a picture of the little brown mama bird through the window. She's shy. I am very, very sneaky.



She flies away every time we open the door, but she doesn't go far. She just lands on this tree and watches us to make sure her eggs are ok.


More to come as things progress!

because I am a Cranium master

I think these pictures speak for themselves.
You want to be on my team, that's all I'm saying.





Thank you, ladies and gentlemen. Thank you.
