Miss us?

Life has been pretty crazy, as you can imagine since I haven't blogged for 2 months now. We are currently living in Mississippi for the summer and have found so many things to keep us busy that I find my time is filled with activities to entertain the girls instead of blogging regularly. I wanted to back track, but have discovered some disappointing news. I do not have pictures from many of our recent events with me. Grrrr! I thought I had successfully transferred all of our many pictures from our home computer onto a zip drive and then to our laptop, but learned that it was not successful after all. I decided to steal some pictures from other bloggity blogs instead because it will be months before I'll be home to add those pictures.

Before our big move to the South, we had some fun in California. My brother Ben got married mid-April at my parents home and we arrived a few days before to enjoy some family reunion festivities. Much of this is documented in my parents blog http://theparentals.blogspot.com/ and like I said I stole some pix from other blogs to document it here. Thanks Mom and Dad!

Rick got his snowboard fix with some of the boyz in our family plus one of brother Ben's groomsmen. L to R - Brother Ben, Jared, Rick, In-law Ben, and friend Adam.

Who doesn't love "Sorry"? Around the table - Coley, me, Dara, Christi (Ty's fiance), and Ty

Ben and his beautiful bride, Sovondara (preferred name - Dara). Ben: I don't know if I have ever seen you so happy. Congrats brother!

This is the original MidCart clan...

...and this is us today. Camp Middleton 2010! Love you guys!

When we returned home from such a fun weekend with the fam, we had only a few days to pack up Rick and send him to Mississippi ahead of us. The girls and I stayed behind so I could attend Women's Conference with some of my sisters, mom, cousins, aunts, and even my grandma. Grampa Paul was a saint and watched the girls and cousin Olivia so we could enjoy the wonderful classes. I love Women's Conference. It is held at BYU-Provo every year with classes and inspiration for women (and men...but mostly women) who come from all over. This year was especially inspiring for me because I had many personal questions that I needed answered. It was amazingly spiritual and I feel like I have more tools to improve myself as a woman, wife, and mother. Here are some of the important people in my life that I spent 3 amazing days with.

No trip to Utah is complete without Cafe Rio and Kneaders for them non-Utahns. Although, I have to admit, I like having an excuse to go :)

Can't wait for Women's Conference 2011!
