Conference Weekend

(I love this picture of the First Presidency leaving the conference center)

I absolutely LOVE Conference weekend, its a chance for the family to be together learning from our wonderful leaders. It is really such a uplifting time for me, I always learn so much and am always given a little boost from the great speakers. Here is the link if you would like to watch it, it is on saturday & sunday morning and afternoon. You can watch it live on your computer or on your t.v.

It has been fun getting our kids to listen, last conference I put a bowl of little candies up by the T.V and if they heard someone say temple, prophet, pray or scriptures they got to run up and grab a candy.

We will be in St.George spending time with family over conference weekend, I hope everyone gets a chance to watch a little of it!

~All About Meika~

A lot has been going on with Meika lately....

She lost ANOTHER tooth, and now has a cute little space on the bottom.

She started Preschool, and it LOVING IT!! She has a few little kids from her primary class in with her so it makes it really fun!

....And she celebrated her 5th birthday last week!! I can't believe she is already FIVE, time sure does fly by... She is doing a nice pose before heading off to school, she was so excited to take some treats to share with her class.

We celebrated by having a few friends over for a chef party, it was so much fun! We made little pizza's, decorated cupcakes, made donuts and even ate some cake! We were all very stuffed by the end of the party.

Seth and His Car

(Long Post feel free not to read, mainly for journaling purposes)

A month or so ago Seth was driving this cute little car around in 115 degree weather with no AC, because is was going to cost $1400 to fix it. After using my car as often as he could to drive to work he decided that he wanted to sell this car and share my sweet little mini van. So he put it up for sale and of course didn't get very many interested buyers.. (no one wants to be driving around with no AC in vegas) He lowered the price and got some interested buyers, he brought them in to sign the Bill of Sale and get the title and couldn't find the title!?! ( This was really funny to me) So he told them that as soon as he found it or got a new one he would let them know. Called the DMV they had sent it to the wrong address and were going to mail it to our new address and it would arrive in 7-10 bussiness days.

Had some new interested buyers, they gave him money to hold the car for them until he recieved the Title. The next day they called wanted to buy the car without the title and just get the title from us once it came... Seth agreed, wrote up a contract (saying that he would have the title by the end of the month or would refund the money and she could return the car) and the car was sold.

Well 7 days go by and no title, so he calls the DMV, and of course, they mailed it to the wrong address AGAIN!!! So he has to refund the money.

She brings the car back (after a million annoying calls and texts to Seth) and to our suprise has fixed EVERYTHING!

-new brakes

-fixed the leak

-fixed the air conditioning

-Cleaned the engine

-Touched up the paint

-fixed the engine light(which had been onf or the last 2 years)

Seth paid her $200 for the parts, which is nothing compared to what it would have cost to have all those things fixed.

Seth & I were talking about how funny this was, how it was this really annoying event that I was so bugged at Seth about, but it turned out to be such a great blessing. We have been so abundenlty blessed these last few years and this is just one more thing to add to the list, I know that our Heavenly Father is aware of our needs & wants, even if they are as simple as hating arriving to work covered in sweat! :)
