Mckinley's First Youth Conference and Easter 2024

We went up to Aspen Grove for a quick one night youth conference with our ward. It was Mckinley's first youth conference. The scenery was incredible!

The accommodations were amazing. We had so much fun in such a short time!

Mckinley also experienced her first dance, hating it at first and loving it by the end. Didn't dance with any boys.


Cross country skiing was kind of terrible. The path was super icy and everyone fell a million times. Made for good memories though, and beautiful pictures.








We did an awesome Book of Mormon activity that all the kids loved.

Rachael surprised us hiding in this cupboard! I was up most of the night cleaning up Kim Beadle's throw up and driving her home with Becca. It was very memorable.

Lincoln introduced us to magic puzzles and let us borrow his. It was so fun!


Mckinley had her first track meet. She got assigned the 400 and then the 800, back to back. It was brutal.


She did amazing in the 400, and then had to quit the 800 with a terrible side ache. We are so proud of all she's done!

Mckinley is finally taking her first art class in junior high. They had to do a portrait of someone. She chose Jennifer Lawrence. And holy cow, this girl is talented!!!

Ava is doing activity days this year and loving it!

Ava's class easter egg hunt. Last party of the year for us room moms! Yay!!! The end is in sight.


We went to the Vineyard easter egg hunt and then had breakfast at Dallin and Shellee's.


Mckinley found these cute bunny pancakes online so we made them for Easter.





And made our traditional easter nest cookies. So yummy! It was different this Easter, having already done the egg hunt two weeks prior at Ross and Karen's. We did Holy Week readings/videos every night the week leading up to Easter and it was so meaningful and fun! We all loved it.
