This weekend Kyle's parents and little brother and sister made the long trip from Rexburg to come and visit us all here in Arizona. The visit definitely was not long enough for us! I put Kyle in charge of bringing the camera when went out this weekend and as a result we have almost no pictures to show for their visit. I was really sad about that, because if you know me at all you know I love to have pictures to lock in those memories! Anyhow we still had a wonderful weekend despite it being in the hub of tax season and all. Kyle was able to get Saturday off (which is a big deal during tax season) and we spent a lot of time playing games, swimming, listening and watching conference, catching up on all of our lives, and just enjoying one another's company! We miss them already and can't wait until July when we will make the trip up to Rexburg for Independence Day!
Speaking of conference, wasn't it wonderful? I just think each one gets better and better. Kyle's dad told us that they've done a solemn assembly before for President Kimball (which I would have been too young to remember). I absolutely loved being a part of it for our beloved prophet, President Monson. Although it would have been a really neat experience to be there in the conference center for the solemn assembly, we enjoyed standing when we were asked to and sustaining the true prophet of our church. It was a very memorable and neat experience for me.
We also took Kyle's parents to the Mesa Temple Visitor's center on Sunday after dinner and we saw the "Reflections of Christ" display. It's a display of real photgraphs taken of the man who plays Jesus in the Easter Pageant. They took pictures dipicting his life, ministry, death, and resurrection and they are so amazingly beautiful. It's hard to even describe how real the pictures are and how strong the spirit is when you look at these very realistic photographs. It is truly an extraordinary display.

So much fun! We still need to see the beginning of the first session, so don't erase it please! Their visit was definitely too short...back to regular everyday life!
Wow, that sounds like it was a fun weekend. Your family is so cute Jess! Chase is so big, how old is he now? I couldn't agree more with you on conference, it was quite wonderful. We are so blessed.
REXBURG MISSES THE WHITES!!!! I love the picture of Chase loungin' in the pool- what a stud! He looks like he really enjoys life. And I agree with you about conference- very rewarding.
That is fun that Kyle's family could come and visit you guys! Yes Dean's hair actually turned out pretty good. I did not show the back ;) that is another story. Well see ya on Sunday!
