Easter

What a whirlwind Easter weekend we had! First we had a neighborhood Easter Egg hunt on Saturday morning (I know! A Saturday!) where we got to run around in the falling snow, picking up eggs with hundreds of our closest friends. Then we had our own hunt at home. On Sunday we went to Church and I experienced probably one of the most spiritual Easters I've ever had. It was just a great weekend!

Waiting for each age group to be called.

Look! I've got teeth!

Chatting with friends.

Izzy Gnawing on a Spoon

Why Comfort Dental is AWESOME!

In an effort to thank all of the partners for what they do for the company, Comfort Dental Corporate purchases Box and Suite seats for Rockies games. Jarum snagged four of the tickets for the Rockies/Dodgers game last Tuesdays night. We took Jacob and Kaylee and oh, how fun it was!!

Suite ticket holders have special parking. It made us feel, well, special!


After going through the ticket stiles, we were led to a private elevator that took us up to the Suite Level. When we got off, this is what it looked like. It was like being in a hotel and not in a baseball stadium.

The Comfort Dental Suite. This was the view from the door.

Jacob and Kaylee couldn't believe their eyes when they saw all of the free, catered food!


The Comfort Dental Jersey

The view from our box. If you enlarge the image and look at the backstop just right of center field, you'll see the Comfort Dental logo. That's right. We're awesome. ;)




At the top of the Fifth, the kids could go down the hall and meet Dinger, the mascot for the Rockies.





We ended up beating the Dodgers 3-0 (thank goodness!) and enjoyed every minute of our adventure! I think the best part was that there was a bathroom right across the hall, no waiting! ;)

Thanks, Rick, for your generosity!

And thanks to our dear friends, the Roylances, for watching our younger three children. We really appreciate it!

Conference

Something that hasn't happened in over ten years happened this last week - we were able to watch General Conference in its entirety! It was a Conference Weekend Miracle! It was spectacular to watch and we all enjoyed it immensely. The Spirit was very strong and I think the kids actually remembered some of the messages. I think we can count that as a success!
