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.

The Wanderers Revisited

Well, out of the clear blue sky…ok, not really–but it felt like it–all these lucky ducks hopped on a few planes and ended up in EUROPE!!

They were very clever about the rooming situation–all the girls in one room and all the boys in another. Adorable–right?

It will be so much fun getting once-in-a-lifetime photos from these guys every few days.

Next time…so help me…I’m going with them!!! I mean honestly, how else will I find my Scottish Farmer? Hmmmmm?

Guess I have some work to do.

Yikes.

Warrior Link

Jacob asked me if I could make a Link from Legends of Zelda—

only in full Warrior gear.

What an amazing challenge it was!

I had a pattern for the basic Link character–which I made for my grandson a while back…

but there was NOOOO pattern for this.

And you know, I think I loved it even more because I had to figure it all out myself.

Even down to the Korok seed in his back pouch…

and teeny earring in his pointed ears.

The skull mask was particularly fun with it’s hair, braids, teeth…

and creepy horns. Link even has his stomach tattoos and medallions.

A TON of work but I loved every second of it.

All for you Jacob!!

love,
