Well everyone it looks like once a week is the best I can do with this blog, but I still enjoy doing it. Conference this last weekend was wonderful. I got so much out of it this time and President Monson made me cry with his story about the woman who lost everything she had. I am always awed by those who have lost so much and stayed strong in the church. My husband and children are my life and I cannot even imagine life without them in it. I just felt so humbled this conference because I need to improve so much. I also really felt out of the loop when I heard that Elder Wirthlin had passed away. I guess out here you can't keep up with the church news as easily which is probably why Eric's parents order and read the church news. Anyway I also had some good news: Alex finally had some potty success last Friday he went instead of just sitting and we made a really big deal out of it too, so I hope he gets the picture now, although so far that has been the only time, we'll just have to keep trying. Max has started the standing on your lap thing now. We have tried it with him before, but now his legs are stronger and he loves to stand, with us holding him of course. I still haven't caught that perfect smile photo, but he has a super cute smile, so I'll keep trying with that too. This week I also got to see Speed Racer, and Quantum of Solice, and I gotta say, Speed Racer was better than I thought it would be, it was exciting and I thought the story was good, Haley liked the Chimp. Quantum was ok, but I didn't like it as much as Casino Royale. I also got a chance to go shopping with Rita this week for Easter clothes for the kids, and it was fun, even though I didn't remember to bring the stroller. We got some really good deals and I can't wait to get pictures of them all dressed up. Alex will be wearing his first suit, jacket and all, and I was lucky to find a dress with sleeves for Haley out here that I liked. Max even got a nice outfit too, Thanks Rita! Anyway I'll post those next week hopefully. So on that note, HAPPY EASTER! And don't forget what Easter is all about, Haley asked me about that the other day and I had a wonderful teaching moment about the resurrection with her. Kids are wonderful and reminding us what is really important in life.
