Family time!

This past week my whole family was together in Provo/Spanish Fork for some family time. We haven't all been together since August, so this was very exciting! I drove down on Tuesday (Jason had to work) and stayed at Nellie and Ryan's house.

Some highlights from the week include:

Wednesday: Walking around BYU and shopping at the bookstore

Thursday: Having a party to celebrate Opening day, watching the Giants game, and eating YUMMY food at Suzanne and Ryan's house in Spanish Fork.

(Evie was being really fussy during the game and then she randomly said: "I wanna snuggle Jen!" so I put her on my lap, and she fell asleep within minutes!)

Friday: One family tradition we have is to go bowling on campus at BYU, so we did that on friday night, and introduce my parents and Nathan to Pizza Pie Cafe afterwards. YUM!

(Evie used this rack to bowl, and she was REALLY good. She got 4th place out of our whole family...I only beat her by 1 point!)

Saturday: We all went to Suz & Ryan's house in Spanish Fork for breakfast and to watch conference. Jason got into town around 5 and went with all the boys to Priesthood. All us girls headed out for ladies night. We started off by going to Deseret Book and stood in line to get a free wall-hanging. It was SOOOO windy, but we survived. After that we went to the Provo Town Mall and just walked around for awhile.

(we're all color coordinated!! That wasn't planned!)

Sunday: what a day!! We all woke up super early only to find that there was like 3-4 inches of snow on the ground and it was FREEZING. Conference was AMAZING! It was my first time going, and it was great. I got to hear some of my favorite Apostles speak (Uchtdorf & Bednar), and the Mo Tab sang my all time favorite hymn as the closing song (Spirit of God). It was such a great experience and I'd love to do it again!

After we came home, we had some delicious beef stew that Mom cooked in the croc pot while we were all gone (genius!!). The boys made a snow man after the 2nd session of conference, and then we had an easter egg hunt just for fun!

Now its a new week, and my family is back home in Fairfield. I'm sticking around to help watch Evie while Nellie starts working as assistant manager at the Orem Old Navy. I'll do another post about the adventures I'll be having this week!
