Dallyn Bayles sings "Bring Him Home" with the Mormon Tabernacle Choir

I went to see the musical "Les Miserables" at the Hale Centre Theatre this afternoon. It was an incredible performance. This musical always leaves me inspired to love more, have more compassion and remember the great gift of mercy we have because of the atonement of Jesus Christ.  My favorite part of the musical is when Jean Valjean sings "Bring Him Home"  It is especially a tender song if you have a son on a mission or serving in the military.

This is one of my favorite renditions. It is sung by Dallyn Bayles with the Mormon Tabernacle Choir.

Priesthood session of Conference

I look forward to General Conference. It is always so inspiring and uplifting. I forgot though that now the Priesthood Session is broadcast live on TV. I was babysitting 4 of my grandkids so I don't know if I could have paid attention to it anyway, but my husband said it was the best Priesthood session ever! He said I really need to watch it when it becomes available. Thanks to technology that will be possible soon. Can't wait!

St. George Utah | I Should have booked the weekend. (Part 2)

This is one of my favorite commercials. I'm not sure why. Maybe because I love to visit St. George but maybe because I think this commercial does a great job of really getting you hyped up and excited about it.  They use all the right advertising methods we learned in class. Makes me want to go now!

First Women's Conference for my 8 year old granddaughter

It was the first ever Women's Conference where girls ages 8 and up were invited.  I took my granddaughter who just turned 8 in October.  I loved it when they recognized all the girls around the world by having the 8 to 12 year old girls stand up.  It is truly amazing to be a part of the largest organization of women in the world.

Mom Texting

After the funny "Mom Texting" slides in class on Wednesday, I was remembering a texting conversation I had with one of my sons.  It started out because I wasn't happy that he went to the movies without texting me.  I thought he was at his friends house. When he got home I told my son, "The reason I pay for your phone is so that I will know where you are. You need to text me whenever you change locations."

A few minutes later these were the texts I received from my son:

"In the kitchen"

"In the living room"

"Kitchen again"

"Bathroom"

I had to laugh.

2CELLOS - Thunderstruck [OFFICIAL VIDEO]

One of my favorite uses of media is YouTube. My sister came into town with her two daughters to visit our family. We were playing a game but decided to listen to music while we played the game. We ended up listening to a lot of different music on YouTube. This was one my sister introduced me to. It is more fun to watch it than just listen to it. They are pretty amazing!

Tonight You Belong to Me (Cover) - Me and my 4 y.o.

I love watching videos like this one. Kids are so amazing!!  This one is so cute because she is afraid of fireworks and she thinks she keeps hearing them so her dad is trying to distract her by getting her to sing.  It is just the cutest thing to watch.
