Camping bears from UGFOA
Every convention, Jack comes home with loot for the grandkids. The National GFOA Conference has the most stuff, but this year the Utah GFOA had some fun little bears with camping gear. One of the vendors sent Jack home with five dozen of the little guys. He divided them up into sets - one for each of the families with chidren, one for us and one for the ward nursery. Ü

Bloomin' daffodils!
Our crocuses have come and gone. These daffodils have been trying to bloom since the last of the croci died and finally! Blooms! Wish we had more - but these are so beautiful! I relish every one!
Off to Saint George for UGFOA
Jack and I went to St. George for his annual Utah Government Finance Officer's Association convention Tuesday night. Joann and her kids had gone down to the Barbers' Sunday night with Mike and Jeri and a couple of the cousins. While Jack was in meetings Wednesday, I drove over to Bloomington to visit. Phil and Sally have a great home - right up against the red rock cliffs. Lots of great spots for hide and seek with all the rocks in the landscaping!
I took this shot of the four kids on the patio while lunch was being set out.
It sure was sunny out on the patio - and what a beautiful view!
Not quite two, Bo doesn't talk a lot - but he loves to point!
After lunch, Jeri tried to get the kids interested in a movie, so she, Joann and Sally could paint the dining room. Ha!
Of course, they had to help paint! Jeri's job was to see that the kiddos didn't do too much damage as they helped.
Marianne, still shirtless from painting, did break away long enough to give me a tour of the landscaping, which includes a big lawn and a still-winterized pool.
Another attempt at distracting the girls...
While the grown-ups finishing painting.
One last shot of the back yard! Sally says they see all kinds of wildlife there - including foxes and, of coure, lizards.

Danny and Dalena Come for Conference Weekend
Jack picked Danny and Dalena up from the airport Friday night - April 3rd. Most of the family and a few extended family members met at Jeff and Angie's where we visited until about 10:30.The next morning we got up early so we could get down to the morning session of conference. I decided to make something quick, yummy and filling for breakfast. German Pancake! Good thing I wasn't trying to impress anyone! Ü
Thanks to Elaine for getting us some seats in the lower bowl! It was Dalena's first time to go to a General Conference. We all loved it!
We talked to Jim Shupe for a few minutes after the session. Danny had walked right past him on his way to our seats. Jim said that he looked at him and thought, "Man! I should know this guy, but I can't remember who he is!"
After conference, we walked down Main Street to Vienna Bistro for lunch - closed for lunch on weekends! So, we drove to Trolley Square and ate at Rodizio Grill. Yum!
After lunch, we stopped at Leila and Brent's to meet some of their family. Saturday night, we met at Gus and Sharon's while the guys went to Priesthood Meeting - then visited afterward.
Sunday morning, we watched conference at our house. Sharon brought her kids over for the afternoon session. They all played conference Bingo as they watched. I've never actually seen that done. Great idea!
Dad came over too and stayed for lunch with us after the session ended. Then...it was time to go to the airport. Way too short a visit - but fun, nonetheless!
