Woodward

This is no ordinary dish.....

This dish has my last name on it.... My lovely VT's Laura and Elaine gave it to me for Easter.....

I LOVE it, now this dish will never get lost and no-one will able to keep it...

Unless their name is Woodward......

Oh yes i got some Cadbury Caramelo eggs to, but they are already in a tummy.

Confernce 2011

On the weekend we were lucky enough to attend our church Conference in Salt Lake City.. The first session was held at 10am Saturday morning, so we left Provo at 7am ... Before it started we had a chance to take some photos.....

Not only did the church leaders have a busy week... So did the gardeners taking care of the grounds.. Gary reckons they painted the grass... There was new flowers every where..

Because you have to be 8yrs old to go into the conference ( because they record the talks) Gaz and myself took in turns to go into the conference.... You could go and watch it in the tabernacle next door or sit and have a picnic on the grass outside and listen to it being stream throughout Temple Square..

I went in first with Phebe and Eliza, so Gaz and Eden just sat outside and Ededn would play with anyone.. That's Eden she has turned into the social butterfly. Will just go up to any kids and start talking to them (in her own little language)....

When it was my turn to look after Eden outside , I just wanted to take some photo's........

We had tickets to All sessions but we knew it would be to much with Eden......

At the end of each session there was HUGE lines for people without tickets hoping to get in..

I was really nervous asking people if they wanted my 1 ticket.. After a while i decided to approach these group of people.. I asked a group of four (2 girls,2 guys) if they would like my 1 ticket..

One of the girls had just joined the church and her friends said that she should go in by herself.. You could she that she was nervous and was unsure.. Soon after her boyfriend ran with her down to the doors and she was going to attend her 1st conference.... I gave the other couple our Sunday afternoon session tickets, so they could All go together...

I hope they enjoyed the session...

Eden with a sister missionary... She wanted to teach Eden about Jesus and Eden just wanted to teach her about Tinkerbell......

5 minutes of sitting time and then she was of... I just wanted to take photo's and listen......

Since Gaz wanted to attend the night session we decided it would be a good idea to stay at a hotel for the night... We had woken up to snow the next morning, so we got a late checkout and Eden and I stayed in the room and watched the conference on TV....

After Conference we went out to lunch with Tassie born Brad Prebble.. Brad has lived 26 years in Tassie and 26 years in USA... but still sounds like an Aussie... i had a wild mushroom pizza.. YUMMO

It was great talking to Brad and look forward to spending some more time with him.....

It was also great to attend Conference in person..

The talks have something for everyone and messages just for YOU!!!!!!

So attend the video sessions this weekend... you never know you might see us in the crowd!!!!!

Where's is summer!!

So it's the beginning of April and our year over here is going so fast... We went to Salt Lake City for the weekend as it was our church General Conference.. It was a nice day on Saturday, well the wind had picked up by 3pm, but other than that is was good........

But in the morning it had snowed all night... These are pics of Wymount when we got back to Provo about 4pm....

And this was 5 mins later... C'mon Summer, C'mon, C'mon...............

Will do an Conference post soon....

fellow Tasmanians..

Yesterday fellow Tasmanians Joe and Kym Rogers stopped in on a whirlwind tour of Provo.. They have been planing this trip for ages and last year we were joking around saying "maybe we will come and see you guys if you move to Provo"........ So here they were in Provo, after their long drive from Bryce Canyon we started the afternoon off with some shopping at the bookstore and then we all hoped in a buggy and took the BYU campus tour..

The girls got early out of school... YAY for the Rogers!!!!!

This house used to be the Presidents House, but now it's just a administration building...

(I did take lots of photo's but the computer wont let me rotate them!!!)

After the tour we went to the local walmart, then back to the bookstore, followed to the Carl Bloch exhibit at the museum and finally of to dinner... and where did we go??????

I'm not going to tell ya... you will have to ask the Rogers when they come back?????

Thank you for stopping in Joe and Kym and hope they enjoy the rest of their holiday.....

YW's Broadcast..

Yesterday we drove to Salt Lake City to attend the YW's Broadcast.. We were very excited and it was also to have some people to share it with.. Elaine and Emma (fellow Aussie's) came with us....

It was a bit cold, but we didn't mind... We were attending Conference.. YAYAYAYAYA!!!!!!!

It seems like everyone was getting there at the last minute. We were just on time, just a bit of traffic on the I15...When we got into the Conference Center, we found our section, which ended up being full.. Since no-one was saving us seats, the kind lady said we could go down the front...

We had really good seats close to the screen and the to see the speakers..

Phebe was really happy to be there.. Not as happy as Sister Dalton... She is just too happy....

We are grateful for Sis Harrison who got us the tickets.. Our ward has one of the biggest youth, but yet our ward only received 8 tickets...

Off we go again next weekend for General Conference..

Look out for our pics in the upcoming Ensign..

Goodbye March!!

Tonight BYU lost to Florida and that means that they don't continue any further in "March Madness"......
Also means that BYU say goodbye to Jimmer, he is a senior and will get picked up the the NBA draft next season...

BYU will miss being JIMMERED!!!!

I will miss the MAD supporters......

and all the Jimmer heads.......

Bring on November when ' Charles will be in charge".........

BYU Arts..

Last night the lovely Susan Lloyd asked me to accompany her to the Martha Graham Dance Company performance, part of the BYU Performing Arts Series.. I'm not much an "arty" person.However I do make some serious moves on the dance floor, so I was looking forward to it...

The Dance Company was one of the first contemporary dance company's that started in New York in 1925.. The performance consecrated on Martha's first lot of dance compositions...

I really enjoyed it and the dancers were amazing and very talented.....I have also been to the BYU museum to see the Carl Bloch exhibition... Carl Bloch is a famous painter and alot of his work is publish in our church publications...

This photo has been on the cover of the monthly Ensign magazine... It was great seeing the paintings and it was an very popular exhibit...

You could even get and ipad with headphones to inform you more about the paintings....

So BYU isn't all about sport.....
