General Conference Traditions

Dear readers,

Are you still there? Sorry it has been over 2 months since I've written. I actually have one post stuck in draft form and another stuck in my head. I can't come to write/post them. They are more personal than anything I have ever written and don't know if I can publish them to be available by anyone with internet access in the world. We will see. Until then, here is a lighter post with pictures!

General Conference was this past weekend and we have some fun traditions we want to share!

We build a bed out of blankets!     Set a specific candy for a word, when spoken we get to eat it!

We make the Dawson ham, cream cheese, and pickle snack! TOTALLY delicious!

Mr. Dawson and I took a guess as to who would speak in the first two sessions!
              

Ellie might have gotten a sugar high....
                                        

Cuddles with daddy

And lastly, being a dare devil with no hands!



To answer any questions, yes we really do have a TON of blankets, we also might have used our 3 body pillows to help out with the blanket bed.

No I initially didn't eat the Dawson creation. I thought it looked and sounded gross, but I have come to really like it and even crave it occasionally!

Ellie doesn't always sit still, but she gets excited for conference because we are excited, and the candy helps her to focus and sit and listen! In October I plan to add celery sticks and carrots to help tame the sugar crashes! =)

At A Loss

Dear avid readers,

I don't know what to write about!  I'm not sure what you want to hear read.  I feel like I've written lots about myself, and I don't think that you really want to read more about me!

Please, please, please tell me if there is a specific topic you think I should address, or would love to read about! I could make a list for you....but that would limit your options. 

Comment away!

July 3rd

Dear calendar, 
I am not quite sure what happened, but it is suddenly July 3rd!
I was trying to make a 4th of July skirt for me and a matching dress for Ellie.
To be honest the dress pattern is pinned to the fabric, not even cut out!
I usually have my nails painted all patriotic.
And a few decorations up on my house!

I have no idea how you suddenly crept up on me!
Okay, that's a partial lie. 
I've been so busy with Young Women things with the president gone.
Getting them ready for girls camp, getting activities planned, lessons and talks written....
Wishing girls camp would come sooner rather than later.
It was inevitable for July to creep up on me!
So I ask you this favor,
Could you quite possibly pause so I can finish the skirt and dress, paint my nails, and continue to finish ALL this YW stuff?

Yeah, I didn't think so.
I guess we will wear our patriotic gear a bit later this month!
I won't stress....

121 Photos

I just uploaded 121 photos onto the computer!
I had been storing them on the camera for WAY too long!
I am currently going through them and deciding which to use for updates of what has happened.
These pictures date from January 23rd-Yesterday!
I think you will agree that yes, it is time for a little picture update, but not too overwhelming of one!
=)

So by the end of today there may be two or so more blog posts!

Love ya!
