Slide post
I saw a slide show in my cousin Jessica's blog and loved it. Thanks Jessie (that is still what I think when I think of you :).

Multi-tasking little momma
I was watching my friends kids (6 weeks & 15 months) this morning and while I was making Sarah's lunch (because the bus was coming in 3 minutes) I asked Becca if she would feed the baby. At first she loved it, but then apparently she got a little bored.

new city
Does anyone know anything about: Lake Havasu City, Kingman, or Bullhead City? That is where one of the companies is looking for an ophthalmologist. I saw on the map that it is really close to Needles and all I remember about Needles was when we broke down there when I was a kid and it was HOT!!! I looked Lake Havasu City up on a city compare site and it looks good on the computer (low cost of living, good schools, climate okay).

Popcorn popping
I started recording the girls singing Latter-Day Prophets when I realized that Becca didn't know the words so I stopped it and asked Becca what she wanted to sing and she said Popcorn popping. Sarah didn't want to sing that, but you will see that she pops in right at the end.

One man's junk is still junk!
We had our first yard sale today and made about $40. We really just had stuff and I was surprised that we made that much. We are going to spend the money on games and treats at Hershey Park today and then we are going to Chucky Cheese the next time Aaron has off (when he gets back from Utah). That way the girls weren't too heart broken to get rid of their things.

Zoo pictures
When we moved here from DC and went to ZooAmerica (where they only have native North American animals) Sarah was really puzzled where the elephants, zebras, tigers, lions, panda bears, and kangaroos were. I tried to convince her that buffalo were just as exciting.
Here are some pictures of the zoo that I stole from my friends blog. I guess I forgot my camera.
Touching story
Aaron shared a good story from the Priesthood session that I didn't want to forget...
Elder Bednar was taking questions and one of the question was:
We all have good things to give our time to and we are all pulled in different directions, where should we put our focus? (Aaron has really had a hard time with this because work is REALLY demanding, he feels like he doesn't do enough in his church calling and most of the time he only sees the kids right before bed or not at all).
Elder Bednar said that at different times in our life work, family and church will be taking the most of our time. He said that we should follow the spirit and try to fulfill our duties. He then shared this story:
When Elder Bednar was a stake president, he was at a stake meeting like the one Aaron was attending. His son was in a state basketball championship final game. There was a man in the audience whose son was on the opposing team. He had a sudden impression to take this man to the game. He thought that was a crazy idea and he would have to leave right then if they were going to make it because it was 1.5 hours away. The more he thought about it the more he knew that was what had to be done. He asked his counselor if he would be able to run the meeting without him...the answer was yes. Then he asked his secretary if he could go and ask this man to see him in his office. Elder Bednar told the man that they needed to be at this state championship game. When they walked into the game the boys were really thrilled and a little shocked that they were there. A few months after the game the boy of the other man was chopping wood and a piece of metal from the ax flew into his heart. He didn't realize that he was bleeding internally and was dead before they reached the hospital. The man called Elder Bednar and when he arrived the man threw his arms around Elder Bednar and thanked him for taking him to see his son play in the championship basketball game because his son knew how much his father loved him.
Aaron got a little choked up when he told the story and I could tell that it really hit home to him. This weekend really was the greatest stake conference EVER!
