doTERRA Convention Coming Up!!

Because the doTERRA Dream Convention is coming up THIS WEEK, it got me thinking back to the doTERRA Alive Convention that we attended a few years back.

It was wonderful to meet up with our sweet friends…

and sit for together for THREE whole days…

just soaking up all the incredible new oil information…

and the science behind it all.

We filled whole tablets taking notes, without missing a beat. WAAAAY too much info to just trust that we wouldn’t forget.

But this, this was easy to remember…

and all this happiness, it was easy too.

Things To Love

A new line of fabric from my favorite designer, April Rosenthal, called Mama’s Cottage, with a particularly personal touch. See the blue house, with the red roof? That’s my house–immortalized in fabric!! Hee, hee…  So beautiful and of course, it just makes me sooo happy.

Then there’s this little sprig of joy.  He’s such a little smiler, all the time. And don’t miss the matching church ties. So dang cute!

This little labor of love, for a sweet boy with a cold head–more on that later.I may have made one in red…too.   :]

Having a really smart daughter that knows how to put these ancient relics into a format that we can actually watch. What a blessing not to lose all those memories that we thought we’d never see again.

And finally, these little golden girlie curls. Yes, I know it’s blurry–but you can’t take a clear picture of a firefly.

So much to love. And that’s just a pinch.

There’s always more.

The Lucky Turkey

While all of us were sitting around letting the turkey settle and the pie percolate, the kids put together an adorable little impromptu play. Have you ever seen a cuter turkey in your life?! I mean his body is a big box and they stuck paper in his mouth for a beak. And the FEET!! Hahaha!

He even has colorful turkey feathers in the back. Bless his little turkey heart!

Now to be honest, I’m not totally clear who everyone was here. But I’m thinking pilgrims perhaps?

In the end, they decided NOT to eat the turkey because he was just too cute! Hooray!

I can guess what won those hungry pilgrims over.

It was those adorable turkey FEET!!

Oh, my goodness I love these kids!

Look What WE Have!!

This, my dears is our newest little sweetheart–Merrick. He’s the happiest little soul that you’ve ever seen and OH, so much fun to snuggle and kiss.

 Do you just adore the matching ties for church?

He is the son of Dane & Kortney and the dearest little grand-baby imaginable.

So glad they are close by so they can share all this happiness with us.
