Tonight womanhood was celebrated in it's finest through the General Relief Society Broadcast! I love this tribute, it is always uplifting to me. Elder
Uchtdorf's talk was entirely changing to me. I am going to memorize it, make no mistake. It was one of those talks you could study every Sunday for a month and you couldn't get it all. My Heavenly Father took on a completely new dimension of personality to me. Understanding that God is a God of Creation and Compassion. That it is inherent within us to want to create something, leave something behind that wasn't there before, it's a trait from Him. Anyway, I won't gush (though I feel like it), let's just say it was inspiring and enlightening!
I did find myself aching for my sisters in Park City. Oh how I miss their smiles, cohesion, stories. Kent told me to stop trying to fit the sisters here in a mold, like I'll look at one and be like "oh there's the
Bev of the ward," or "oh it's
Suz" or "she paints like Linda". Just let the women be who they are, and love them for it. Lead with love. But oh how I miss my sisters.
Here are some pictures of the little lumberjack!
Say what?!
There is a reason that you think of flannel when you think of the great northwest - because it can be
freakin freezin'! Here is Harry
donning his Pine tree attire. Kent is very proud of his little lumberjack boy!

I feel the same way about Elder Uchtdorf's talk. We are so glad you are here, you are a great addition to our ward.
Thanks for your thoughts about last night. I was also very touched by Elder Uchtdorf's talk...as well as Sister Beck's talk. They truly are inspired and know exactly what we need to hear!!
I hope you guys are doing well (this is Cousin Kim by the way) :) It's fun to look at your pictures and catch up on what's going on in your lives!!
It was a wonderful Women's Conference. I just feel the love and appreciation that our church has for each other.
LOVE those lumberjack pictures. How cute. It isn't even cold enough in salt lake to wear long-sleeved shirts! It's bugging me because I'm tired of our summer clothes. Oh well :)
He is adorable! I'm afraid you're not making it very appealing to move up there...I don't like it to be cold. Maybe I should move to Arizona. By the way, that applesauce looks SO yummy! I used to love homemade applesauce as a kid. What a great idea to add the blueberries.
I am so mad! I completely missed the broadcast. I know that sounds like a lame excuse but totally true. My mommy-mush brain got the best of me, I guess! I loved your comments about it.
And Harry....seriously way too cute! That lumberjack outfit is awesome! He needs to wear that for Halloween!
BTW, send some of that cold our way. On the news last night they said it was going to drastically cool down.....to 92 degrees! Give me a break!
Hi Kristen! It was so great to see you in Orem last week. You look great and your kids are so cute! I love your blog too, the applesauce looks so yummy! Congrats on everything. We're so happy for you guys!
I am techinologically challenged by a long shot and I do not know how to add my name to your list and I haven't figured out how to do the links on my blog, but here's my blog; jakejonelsonfamily.blogspot.com
BTW, I love Harry's lumberjack outfit. That's the cutest outfit ever!
Okay...so random, I found your blog and I'm not sure you remember me, but it Heather (Goins) from High school, you have the most adorable family, and crazy thing, I grew up with your husband! Well kind of, he's older, but he was my ward growing up and his dad was my bishop! What a small world, I hope you don't mind me looking at your blog and your cute family! If you want here is our blog...http://jasonandheatherfamily.blogspot.com Well Take care and hope we can stay in touch!
Hey Kristen! I miss the old ward too. There was just something so special about the Kimball ward and I miss my girlfriends from that ward, yourself included. Hope you are doing well.
