Weekend Happenings

Friday, Ian and I got to go to Hermiston, OR with Matthew. He went to work with Dr. Peter a vet there in town. He got to spend lots of time looking in a microscope and testing bulls. While collecting and processing some bulls he was in and out of a walk in cooler most of the day. He also helped do an equine embryo transfer on a mare. Matthew loved being able to be outside working with cows, and asking Dr. Peter lots of questions. It was a great trip for him. Ian and I explored the town most of the day. We hit up Wal-mart, Payless shoes, and the small strip mall. Ian got his first pair of big boy walking shoes. He looks so big in them. When Matthew was finished we got back on the road and headed to Kennewick to visit Matthew's aunt Karen, and uncle Fen. They had a delicious dinner of tacos all ready for us when we arrived. It was great to visit with them for awhile.
Saturday, we got to watch General Conference. Matthew's aunt Cheryl Esplin is the second counselor in the primary, and we were treated with being able to listen to her speak.  I love listening to President Monson and our other church leaders speak. Their talks seem to always be what I need at the time. We are blessed to have the gospel in our lives. Watching conference reminds me of the peace the gospel brings to my life.

This is the one picture I got on our trip. Driving over the Columbia River.

During Conference Ian enjoyed putting stickers all over his head.

He also read his favorite book "The Foot Book".
