Stake Conference

This year we had Elder Anderson from the Quorom of The 12 came to our Stake Conference. The Laurels and Priests were invited to a special mission prep this morning where Elder Jones talked from the Seventy about preparing and serving our missions. And Elder Anderson's remarks were awesome. We saw a missionary friend, Nick, who sat by us. And it has been raining for a good part of the day. Needless to say, today had been an awesome day and we ended it with an awesome fresh Dove dinner!

Fun Saturday Night

Last night was the adult session for my Stake Conference so I watched 2 little girls in my ward so their parents could go to the session. The quote of the night came from the oldest girl who is only about 4. She looked at me and said, "Hey Julia! Can you see my uvula?!?" She got very excited and then promptly wanted to see mine. It was very entertaining. It made my night.

Labor Day Weekend

Last weekend was Labor Day and my family decided to go to California. Mom, Dad, and Cheryl picked Faith and I up from work on Friday and we were on our way. We made it to our hotel and the next morning Cheryl, Faith, and I headed to Disneyland. We got 2 day park hopper tickets! We did almost every ride (all except for some of the little kid ones like Snow White). I had such a blast with my sisters. On Sunday all five of us drove to the L.A. temple and took some really fun pictures there, the La Brea Tar Pits, and the beach. Then on Monday Cheryl, Faith, and I headed back to Disneyland and did almost everything again. Mom and Dad picked us up around seven and then we headed home. 

An awesome Ghost Busters car we saw driving to California

A before Disneyland Pic.

We stopped at the new Cars Land in California Adventures first. It. Was. Awesome.

The cars ride was so fun. We went back on Monday to ride it again.

And this is our lovely picture from the ride. 

TOWER OF TERROR

Speak no evil. Hear no evil. See no evil. (I made Faith and Cheryl ride it twice on Monday).

Faith meet Sophia, her favorite princess.

This is us on California Screamin'. The best face is the stranger who is sitting next to Faith. That had us cracking up for awhile. 

My first time on the Little Mermaid ride.

We went to the resturant that the Pirates of The Carabien ride passes by. It's called The Blue Bayou. The food was very yummy.

We told our server that it was Faith's birthday so she got a special birthday treat.

There's the castle in the background.

We got this really yummy ice cream called Dole Whip! Yummy, yummy!

The Castle

This is us burning to death, waiting for the Peter Pan ride.

Teacups!

THAT IS PETER PAN! I WAS THAT CLOSE!

California Adventure's on Monday

They have Cozy-Cone Motel hats!

Tower of Terror is my favorite ride.

California Screamin' and the Ferris Wheel.

Our crazy faces on Space Mountain.

And this was a delicious cupcake that Faith and I shared :)

This is us after Disneyland soaking our feet.
