Update On Alice's Horses
The first picture is Alice with Legend and Beauty. Alice has been working with Legend to teach him how to be ridden. Most owners have a professional "break" their horses, but the "teaching" method seems much more humane. Monday was the first time she rode him with a saddle. The video shows the second time she rode him with a saddle (Tuesday, June 15th).

Youth Conference
We were the Ward Youth Conference coordinators again this year. We had a few youth and leaders coming and going, but we had an average of 52 youth and 12 leaders. We started by doing baptisms at the Salt Lake Temple, then we climbed Ensign Peak, toured the conference Center, watched the Tabernacle Choir rehearse, and had a fireside. Both Thursday and Friday nights, we stayed in the dorms at the University of Utah and ate our meals (all-you-can-eat) in their dining hall. On Friday, we watched the Joseph Smith movie at the Joseph Smith Memorial Building, played games, swam, attended a concert, and had a bishop's fireside. Saturday morning, we had a testimony meeting and it was gratifying to hear how many youth had felt the Spirit -- especially at the Joseph Smith movie. The first picture above was taken at the base of Ensign Peak, the second was taken at the top.

Jada's Birthday
Jada's birthday is Friday, June 4th, but we celebrated over the Memorial Day weekend. Jada, Jackson, Maggie, Bauer, Maryn, Nikkail, and Draeden all spent the night at our house after Sunday dinner. Monday they went horseback riding, rollerblading, and to a movie. Jada had a great time. (I think everyone else did, too.)
