Conference weekend

(I'm trying to catch up again, so this is a quick run through)
The first weekend in Oct. we went to Hastings, NE for Mikey's baptism. We had a great time hanging out with family. Sat. morning we went to a museum in Kearney, NE. It was pretty cool. Here are a few pics.















Matthew warming his hands by the fire with some folks headed out for the Gold Rush.


That's right I'm in the mid-west now. Palin, can I get a woo woo?!
Then we headed back to Matthew's bro's house for Mikey's b-day party.
Having some good fun.

the whole fam.

We did catch a litle conference, but caught the rest when we came home, via internet. btw, every talk from conference seem to answer every concern and gave comfort. Loved it!

Congrats again Mikey! So glad we could be there!

A few projects


Finally got those up.

(sarah, yours in coming, really. sorry)
These little girls are always my projects!

So is cooking. This is one of my favorites lately. Chicken cordon bleu with broccoli and rice pilaf.




And these skirts, well they are a project in the works. This last weekend when we went to Matthew's parent's house, they hooked us up, not only with a computer, but all these awesome treasures. They gave me all these old clothes that I have refashioning ideas for. These two skirts are almost transformed, just a few details left. I can't wait to finish them!

Wow, that's a big tire, Nani!

Fire Fighter Aleah


They woke up Captain Wade and he came flying down the pole. That was Aleah's favorite part of the field trip.


Patches the dog.

Listening to the siren on the big new ladder truck.
It was a fun trip and we learned some great things!

I didn't plan well, so all we had were Christmas sprinkles to roll the apples in.
