OK. Here's another "Only in Utah" moments for me.
I was priveledge to go with a co-worker to her Stake R.S. Women's Conference on Feb. 5. Ardeth Kapp was the featured speaker. Her talk was entitled, "Peace Within You." She asked how we manage day-to-day and then gave us 3 ways: 1) Goal-Setting 2) Live with anticipation and 3)Drive ourselves. She suggested that we type or write out some scriptures and insert our name into them and mail them to ourselves. She said it sounds silly but she does it all the time and gets so excited when she gets a letter addressed to her and then gets to read it like it is a personal message from Heavenly Father (because that's where the scriptures originated). For a full transcript of my notes please send a self-addressed stamped envelope to .....

Love Songs

I got two free tickets to go hear Michael Ballam, the church opera singer sing here in St. George. His first piano teacher and Jr. High choir teacher (same guy) lives here in St. George. Michael sang with the Southern Utah Symphony Friday Night. It was lots of fun. I have never heard him in person and it was such a treat. I consider this one of those "It could only happen in Utah" moments.

Baby Big Ears...Nothing New

I almost forgot I even had a blog. Other relatives have been telling me how much they laughed reading my kids blogs and then is when I remembered we all have blogs. After four months of hitting the books and staying focused on school activities I am anxious to catch you up on my adventures.
Let's start with Brian and Caroline's future son. When I read that he has big ears I had to go find my photo of our long line of big eared people. In this picture you see L-R, my Dad,William Norman Capener, my Great Grandpa, Arthur Rigby Capener (the original big ears), my Grandpa, Arthur Dean Capener and on the front row, L-R, Vera age 3 and me, Barbara, baby big ears! Sorry Caroline, it just runs in the family. so how big are the Beus ears?
