Conference Weekend

We had an eventful conference weekend, beginning a few days before when Eliza and her joy school friend made off with the Conference Bingo treats. I found them nibbling away at Smarties under the computer desk.
The unrepentant sugar tooth kids.

And speaking of naughtiness, here is Eliza after she gave herself and Lily "funny faces" with a green marker. (Don't mind the swim vest.)
Here is Lily doing her new trick to get a better view of Conference. Okay, it's not conference. But she likes to stand on the carseat to play the piano, too.
And here are the delicious goods Mom and Dad and the gang brought when they came up after attending the Saturday morning session in the Conference Center!

Look at the size of that peach!

And here are the delicious goods Mark and the girls made.

And to focus on the conference part of Conference Weekend, Mom started a new tradition where, following the final session, each person (youngest to oldest) stood up and told a story or message they liked from conference. Then they got to pick a candy bar from a big bowl of full-size candy bars. Sage was so excited about telling everyone her story about President Woodruff being inspired to move his wagon and then his mules. Eliza was so excited to get three little Kit Kats taped together. Thanks for the good idea, Mom.

Woodbury vignettes

Does this bring back a flashback, anyone?

And how about this big girl! I hear the ABC song floating out of her bedroom at night, in the car, etc.

Harvest time

Thanks to Spencer for the awesome pictures.

And thanks to me for this fuzzy picture.

And thanks to Dad for the orchard and garden goods.

And thanks to Heather for swearing to eat only veggies until the end of General Conference.

Rich and the firecracker

After our pioneer day BBQ, Rich was taking a little nap on the hammock when he was sabotaged by Dad and Kelvin...

Rich sure is a sport.

Pioneer day revisited

I know it's been (quite) a while since Pioneer Day, but I just found these pictures and I wanted to post them.

Sage and Eliza after we missed the "pioneer trek" around the neighborhood, and arrived just in time for the goodies at the end, and a rest in a cute wagon. (Just between us, I think the Lord knew what he was doing when he didn't have Sage and Eliza be born in the pioneer era.)

Jordy's sparkler star

What's pioneer day (or any family gathering) without a little wheelbarrow action?

Blue eyes times two.

Kim's awesome ant cupcakes. (Think crickets/seagulls. Just more appetizing.)

Emerald Lake

I just snitched this picture off Heather's facebook. I have no idea where or when it was. Emerald Lake, maybe?

Suzy's news

Hip hip hooray for Corey and the future Mrs. Bennett.

Believe me.

Love is in the air. Provo air, that is.
