loved conference!

m.russell ballard's talk was so good, loved it! i'm so glad it's on my tivo list. it made me want to be a better mom and treasure every moment with my kids. i hope my kids know how much i love them and that i would do anything for them. they are such sweet spirits. i'm so blessed to have the privelege to have them in my home everyday and that i'm so lucky that heavenly father gave me the job to be there mom. i want my sweet kids to know that you are never alone that your heavenly father knows each one of you and is always here for you too. love ya my babies!
it was so good to watch conference even though i have to admit i fell asleep a lot. i can't blame the kids they weren't home. the house was so quiet w/o them . rex and i said it would be so weird not to have kiddos running around. it's so neat to see a new prophet and learn more about him. how sweet he is to his wife and funnier than i thought. i can see me leaving a note very similar to his wives haha i'm so grateful for such a wonderful husband how loves me and supports me. love ya babe! i found this quote about pres. monson i thought it was great to hear what others think of him. the late james e. faust 2nd counselor in the 1st presidency, once said of pres. monson; "no one in our time has been called so young to do so much...he is also blessed with so much energy...he's a big man with a big heart." i love this quote there were a lot, but i love that he started so young, it's amazing!

what's up?

so what's been going on? it's been a busy weekend, week, and then the next weekend. last weekend i had my first experience at the dunes and yes that is us flipped over in the rhino, it was fun, we fell in slow motion.i do have to say i do feel safer in the sand rail. i had such a fun time i hadn't camped since rex and i got married, not that we were really camping we had a big r.v. but we did get dirty or should i say sandy! and we cooked our own food and sat by the camp fire and played cards all night. we had a blast, maybe next time we'll bring the kids.

so we left the dunes, ate yummy food at cracker barrel in yuma then the group literally dropped us off on the the curb of avis car rental.( you can't park an r.v. very easily.) so emily and i rented a car in yuma started driving to L.A. we went in as partners in a fun new women's clothing store CONTAGIOUS. we were doing all our buying in the next couple of days and we really didn't know what to expect, but i was so excited. we shopped with the other partners, early the next morning we started the day. what a great job to pick out stuff you wish would be in every shop. how perfect and hopefully making money at it. our fun boutique will be opening in MAY. i'll keep you all posted, the best part of it all is that everything in the store will be $50 and under!!


saturday afternoon britany offered to have all the kids have a sleep over at her place. who do you know that would pass that up? on top of them being extra whiney! so i was ready to throw a party instead rex headed to preisthood and i took a nice long nap, i was suppose to be ready to go when he got home. of course i was still sleeping (no kids waking me up!) so rex knows me well, he knew i would still be in bed. thank goodness we had to wait for randall and emily to get there. we were heading to dos gringos to meet up with some friends. later our friend shon brought us to his new restraunt GEISHA a go go. it has private karaoke rooms we were having so much fun, we sounded horrible. the best part was that aaron and em couldn't get enough of the microphone! i ended up running into my friend aimee and all her friends they sang with us for awhile it was perfect we had missed her 30th birthday party since we were at the dunes. so i'm glad we could hang out.
syd's four and i can't believe it! all she wanted to do for her party was a easter egg hunt , so we had a scavenger hunt. they had so much fun!!!!!!we had a wonderful time at the park, the weather was beautiful and she had all her friends and family there with her.this little girly is so easy going and almost always smiling, she cares about everyone and has a heart of gold. i'm so glad she's a part of our lives. sydney's favorite thing to tell you, "i love you so much" ( it comes out for her THANK YOU) so right back at you baby I LOVE YOU SO MUCH. happy birthday

SPRING BREAK in San Felipe
we went to san felipe for spring break it was extra busy because the BAJA races were starting in san felipe. we went with my parents and a bunch of other friends. we had so much fun, it was extra windy so we only hung at the beach for alittle bit, the kids didn't mind,but us adults weren't so excited. we ended up hanging out by the pool which was fun. we watched the races that was fun i've never seen anything like it. we also saw a drug bust go down, only in mexico. it was a little too close for comfort so we left.it was a great weekend, i love it there everyone is so laid back, my parents brought the girls to church then they got their hair braided they had been wanting to do that the whole trip!!! then we were on the road again.
