General Conference, BYU Ballroom Dance Anniversary Show, Easter, Tulip Festival, Kawamitsu visit...

 

Gen. Conference, BYU Ballroom Dance Anniversary Show, Easter, Tulip Festival, Kawamitsu visit...

Our daffodils and tulips started coming on the first part of the month!
Then it was the 192nd Session of General Conference!


General Conference was so good!  It started out with Laura (my friend, we met through Stake RS) bringing me this Lemon Thyme plant to represent the bitter herbs used in the passover to represent the suffering of the Jews in Egypt.  A great reminder for the Easter Season.


We watched conference downstairs in the cozy basement this year.  


Someone's learning how to walk!





Amy's roommate from BYU-I sang in the choir


The stake president asked us to host an in person gathering for General Women's Conference this year.  We were worried not many would come, but we ended up having a large group which included Shauna, Megan and Rachel who came with their other side of the family, but I ended up sitting with them which was awesome! 


Eric got us awesome tickets to see the BYU Ballroom dancers live in concert!

We went to a yummy Indian restaurant right before...




Chicken Tikka Masala and Naan-Yum!

We had amazing up-close seats for the concert and the BYU ballroom dancers were fantastic!



LaNae started working on digging out the sandbox, putting down a weed barrier and putting the sand back on top.  She finished in about two weeks. Hopefully there will be no more weeds!


Luke's 2022 Prom at ATEC-West
The prom was going to be in the American Fork Amphitheater, 
but because of the rain, it was moved indoors to the school.


It was a great turn out and Luke had so much fun!


Tim had his online UVU Japanese class over to make gyoza


Saturday morning blueberry pancakes-yum!



On Friday night, we took Luke to the Thanksgiving Point Tulip Festival


They will be having a dinosaur event at the gardens over the summer!


Luke enjoyed feeding the koi fish food from the coin operated dispenser.




The tulips were lovely


We saw many daffodils too


Colors of Ukraine.  The terrible war is still going on over there and we hope and pray for peace soon!
