Spring fun

Okay, so most of this will be pictures. The first half are of our little family trip to temple square. We went the Monday after conference and we had so much fun. We went to the museum accross from the capital, then lunch, then to the Beehive house, then walked around temple square for a few minutes, then went and saw the Joseph Smith movie at the JSM building, then went to the church history museum that is next to the family history library. It was a very full day and the kids seemed to like it and were very interested in learning everything. It's fun to be able to teach them about things that are near and dear to my heart. When we were at the first museum, they gave the kids a paper that asked them questions about things in the museum and they were very determined to answer every question. We spent just about 2 hours in that museum and they didn't get tired of it at all. We were starving by the time we got out of there though.
The next pictures are of us just playing around in our tree that is in the front yard. The blossoms are so pretty, I just couldn't let a perfect photo-op pass us by.








This is at the Church History Museum

Cuckoo in the Wookie-woo

Okay, so we were just playing apples to apples jr. and the green card was something like peaceful or calm - I don't remember for sure. Britney was the judge and she chose Thanksgiving as the winning card. Trenton started to argue with her and she said, "yeah, I like Thanksgiving, even though our family is sometimes cuckoo in the wookie-woo." And when she said it, she pointed at her head with her pointer finger and made the crazy sign.

I'm really not sure which group of people she was talking about and not entirely sure I know what a wookie-woo is, but it cracked Steve and I up! So Britney thinks we're all nuts! Funny girl.
So we spent the last 2 days watching and listening to conference as I'm sure most of the rest of you did as well. I thought it was wonderful. Bawled my eyes out during Elder Holland's talk. He always stikes a cord with me. Isn't it amazing how good you feel after conference? It's much like the feeling I have when I leave the temple.

So on Saturday, we couldn't just sit and watch T.V. all day, so we went for a drive during the afternoon session and listened to it. Well....we ended up at this really cute park in Syracuse and I took some pictures. But honestly, all I could think about was you dad. There were so many birds especially pelicans, I know you would have loved it.
So enjoy the pictures and we'll go bird watching when you get home!
