Sweet Tangled Arms

Forteen years ago while we were watching General Conference, I caught this adorable picture of Lily, Miss Chomp and Beckham. Such sweet friends with their tangle of arms and smushed heads.

Since it will be a few years until these three will all be together again during conference, what with Lily leaving in February and Beckham going a month or so after–I asked them if they could recreate the picture for me.

They did their best…sweet things. Seriously–these guys are so cute and I love them so much that my heart aches.

Pleeease…

tell me how we capture these moments…

and freeze them in time.

Conference Like Never Before

April and October General Conference are a HUGE favorite at our house.  But this year we had a little extra fun, on top of the usual!!  I got to spend the Saturday sessions with Dane and Kortney and the kids. It was positively wonderful.

It’s been so lovely having these guys back with us. And I finally, finally got brave enough to drive clear out to their house BY MYSELF. I know, I know–what a baby, right? Well, I did it.

Take that Eagle Mountain! HA! I’m not scared of you anymore!

Being with my sweet family. Eating luscious food. Listening to the prophets speak. It’s perfect, I tell you.

So many beautiful, loving moments…

of pure… Heaven.

Conference Calisthenics

Some people like to multitask. You know…doing several things at once.

In this case, Rhen likes to do his stretching while watching General Conference.

 

What he didn’t realize, until a few minutes in, was that he had a little shadow coming along for the ride. Every move he made… she followed, with sweet five-year-old precision.

“Imitation is the sincerest form of flattery” they say.  And seriously, if you’re going to mimic someone you may as well do it with exercise–right?

I’m sure, in the end it will help a lot…

especially after all that French toast.

Heh, heh.
