Spitfire and I drove down to Provo over the weekend to watch the General Conference sessions with Jenny & her family. For my friends who are not LDS, it's a Church-wide conference held the first weekend of April and October. Talks are broadcast from SLC to the congregations all over the world. In UT they show the conference sessions on TV, but it's a bit difficult to pay strict attention with little kids around. It's also difficult to pay attention when you've just had a fabulous Jenny-made breakfast and you're on a comfy couch with the sun resting on you and lulling you into a coma, but that's my own problem. I was awake, though, for the talks that were probably written specifically with me in mind and that kicked my butt a little bit. Like the one where Elder Holland pointed out the problem with praising God and then mocking His children with the same mouth. Ouch.
On Sunday we took the kids over to the Provo Temple grounds to show Savannah the tulips--all one of them. I guess the tulips are shy this year.

Could not get enough of these trees. They were everywhere.
