The first week of May i had the privilege of attending women's conference with my Mom and Grandma. Anyone who has ever been can agree with me, it is completely amazing! I needed this trip so much. I had the chance to feel the spirit in very special classes for a few days and i took every opportunity i could to strengthen that feeling. The Lord taught me so much in this short time about what I can do to better strengthen myself, my marriage, my relationship with the Lord, with friends, with my family. I heard amazing talks, but the one that touched me the most was given at the very end by Sister Oaks. Oh my goodness, what a woman! Some day i truly hope to succeed as she has. She was a teacher when she was younger and now has a doctorates in teaching and curriculum and is on the board for desseret book and children's primary in salt lake. She was so fun to listen too though she was so sweet and really simply testified of the strength of partaking of the sacrament which honestly kaden and I need to do more often. Its been kind of hard not having a set home ward yet. Anyways, a few other things I gained a testimony of while I was there were, better supporting my husband and ways I can do that. Things I can do to reach out to friends or family members in need of help with out being pushy. And ways I can be more spiritual every day. I think I have done well so far in supporting kaden better, one simple thing that I feel has helped our marriage a lot is just making dinner every night. Before I was terrible we were lucky if I got dinner done twice a week, but now I make dinner every night and its ready when kaden gets home. It doesn't sound like much, but its amazing how it sets the feeling in our home when we are able to sit down together and eat an actual meal.
Kaden's Trip to Moab
The second week of may Kaden took a trip with my dad to a rzr rally thing in Moab. I was kind of nervous having the two of them alone with a rzr for so long but they had a blast and no one got hurt. Before they left, they fixed up the rzr and made it all fast and spiffed up and what not so they could race it against other rzrs that were going to be out there with rich professional racers. needless to say, they did a super good job on the rzr and my husband is amazing because he took 1st place in two of the three races he entered. They were drag racing and barrel racing. He couldn't have been happier and both of them had a blast! Of course they didn't take any pictures though so ill post one of kaden's winning plaques later.
Sarah's Big One Eight
For Sarah's 18th birthday her friend heather and I decided to surprise her with a trip to Vegas for a couple of days at the pool, shopping, and dressing up. We had a blast! My mom, Sarah, heather, and I all got a room at the Monte Carlo which was a pretty great place with a fun pool area. We laid out for 2 days and all left looking like lobsters. At night we went shopping and to dinner, the first night we ate at the Rio buffet which is always good, and then the second night we ate at cheese cake factory (only because serendipity's wait was forever long.) Emily came to dinner with us then too. I'd have to say Sarah had a pretty amazing 18th birthday.
