the young and the restless

Sometimes I wish I watched soap operas. I remember years ago when my mom was into The Young and the Restless. HA... I got so into it and loved watching what would happen everyday during the summer. Is that sad? I think I was 12. Anyway here is the update that has nothing to do with that...


So when I didn't have a dryer we became regulars at the local laundry mat. I realized one day just how big these dryer things are. So Jenny and I decided to test them out. That picture of Jenny is real. She really thought she couldn't open the door from the inside and freaked out. I captured her struggle



I quickly learned from her misfortune and decided to keep my head safely out of the commercial dryer. A heart attack, none the less. I think I have had a nightmare of getting stuck in one. Or maybe my brother tried to put me in ours when I was younger.


Most of the fam came into town for conference. We all stayed up in Park City and had so much fun. Obviously I never take any pictures so here are just a few from the weekend.


We raged on Brooke because she is like 12 shades darker then the rest of us. Blasted Utah and the pasty white skin it gives us all.


It was pouring rain the whole day on saturday. We were in salt lake for all the sessions that day and even got to see the Joseph Smith movie in between the sessions. It was such a good day...


However, by the time the boys went to priesthood session we had had enough of the cold. The mall is no longer in downtown SLC and we were too freezing to go down to gateway so we spent most of our time in the food court just waiting until we got the courage to make the walk over to PF Changs. You can't really tell in the picture but Brooke was trying to get this water bottle open and in the process she shot half the bottle into my face. It was hilarious even though we all look like we want to murder someone in this picture.


Then back in Park City we decided to test out this new rollarcoaster thing they have right next to the Alpine slides. It takes you up by cable to the top of the hill and then you control the speed on the way down. The thing tops out at 50mph.


So the lady told us that the people who would not want to brake at all should go in the front of the line. The person who sits in the front is supposed to push the handles down to go full spead and pull up to brake. Mike tried to volunteer us to head up the train but that was not going to happen. Peter and my dad went first and we followed right after. My dear sweet husband sat in the back and decided it would be fun to hold my arms down forcing me to go top speed down the whole bloody hill. Tears were streaming down my face by the end. Not the happy tears. I thought my life was going to end on that thing. So sweet.


Please excuse the OJ gloves. I can't seem to figure out how to dress for cold weather. Seriously where do people buy things like that? In the end it was so fun to have my parents and Brooke in town for conference. I love getting to go to the conference center and especially love spending time with my family. Can't wait to see them in a month!
