Cabin in the Snow

Sunday, April 26, 2009


We have alot of snow at the cabin this year -- more than ever for this time of year since we have had the cabin. We went up this afternoon to check on the heat. It was snowing hard, and as you can see by the pictures, the depth hasn't changed much in three weeks. We often go up on David's birthday (May 16) and there are usually just patches of snow here and there. I think there will be more than patches this year.

Maybe, just maybe, I'm glad I'm not going to Heber Valley Camp with the young women this year. It will definitely be snowy and cold.

Keagan and bubbles

There's nothing more that I can add to the look on his face and the fun he had chasing and popping bubbles....

Conference Weekend -- April 2009

Per our usual tradition, we went to the cabin for Conference. This year was extra special because we were able to bring our dish receiver and other equipment up for the weekend and actually watch Conference instead of just listening to it. Some of the extended family were able to join us. One of the funnest things we did was build a "King Benjamin Tent" for the grandkids to sit in while listening to the speakers and working on their Conference notebooks. Unfortunately, the girls got too cold before Grandma got outside with her camera. Here is a look at some of the memories we made in between sessions....

Camille Mae's Blessing Day

On March 29th, Camille Mae was blessed and given her beautiful name by her Daddy, Clay. Her Mommy, Jenny, threw a fabulous party afterwards. Here are some photos of the guest of honor. Jenny searched all over for a traditional white blessing dress and fell in love with this outfit. Her comment was, "After all, why wear white when you can wear pink!" Check out Millie's bubble blowing skills. She was doing it the first time I held her when she was less than an hour old and hasn't stopped yet. I can hardly wait to teach her how to blow bubbles with bubble gum.

Mother's Day Survey

I'm in the process of updating my blog. So while you are waiting, give me your unbiased opinion on ward/neighborhood Mother's Day gifts. Would you rather have a geranium for your garden (which is one of my favorite flowers because it reminds me of my Grandma Lula Dastrup)--



OR a chocolate bar?

Please feel free to leave your preference and the reasons behind your preference. While you are at it, see if you can guess my preference....
