Elder Fackrell in the MTC

Regan's little brother Jordan entered the MTC today. He is going on a mission to Taiwan and we had the opportunity today to go to the MTC with him today. We brought Riley hoping that he would remember this time and have the missionary flare; of course this plan did not work that well! He just wanted to play around instead of watch of all of the new missionaries. What do you expect, he is 4! Someday, he will be one of those missionaries though!

We went to breakfast beforehand and really got to spend some time with Jordan. He is so awesome and he is going to be a great missionary! I am glad that we got to see him enter the MTC today! It was an incredible feeling of missionary work!

Trouble I tell ya!

Just when I thought the kids were reading books, I hear a bunch of giggling. Riley had snuck into Sunny's room, put all of her bows on him, and one on her, and were playing in Sunny's bed together!
Trouble! Just when you think as a mom, "yes-they are in bed, now it is my time!" Nope-it still takes a little more work to get them down and not giggling in bed!

BYU Women's Conference

The 1st weekend of May, I was able to attend my very 1st Women's Conference at BYU. I only got to go to 2 classes, which were excellent, and then I had to set up a booth (sharing station) all about Family History. My Aunt Linda from California did all of the research and electronic handout (google in womens conference/then go to sharing stations to get some really cool packets) and I was in charge of the display. The night before, I was taking all of my home decorations down and packing them up to display. My house started to look very bare and it made me happy that my decorations in my house really do add to the home.

Anyway, thousands of women came through the sharing stations and viewed the booths. A lot of people asked me about family blogs and how they help to keep family members connected together. It was a great opportunity to talk about how they keep family members updated on each others lives!

The last picture is of a lot of my Aunts and cousins who attended Womens Conference. We all helped out with either the Sharing Booths or the Humanitarian Projects! It was a great experience and it really energized me as a mom!
