Great Job Boys! What a fun year! :)

Confrence Tradition

October 2011 As a kid, my Mom started the confrence tradition of putting a puzzle together while we listen to the talks....it is something that I have continued with my children.
This confrence we found a really cool stampl puzzle at Barnes & Noble...
All of the colors made it super fun for everyone....even our littlest Levi
This is the super cute and thoughtful Confrence basket my Visiting Teacher Charolette Stevenson brought me for the boys....What a fun idea!

Annelise's Wedding, Visiting Grandparents & our Cousin Mindy's Farm

The end of August we took yet another trip North...This time Levi, Grandma & I were the only ones who went! Everyone else is in school & involved with Football....
Our first stop was to visit G.G. (my Mom's Mom, Charlene Norton) She got the name G.G. from Brennan when he was about 2 and couldn't say Grandma Great... Here's Levi styling G.G.'s Hair as she resting on the couch...
Brock requested that I take a picture of the house I grew up in...it sits next door to my Grandparents home in Bountiful
Here's Grandma & Grandpa or Anna Rae & Gilbert Nelson's home next next door....
This is what Levi calls the "steps to Heaven"....really they just lead up to Grandpa's gazebo in the back yard...you can kind of see the gazebo at the top of the stairs, you have to cut back & forth along the mountain to get to it...
Grandma Shonya, Levi & I stopped and picked up our little Cousin Ethan (Dustin's son) and took him with us to go see our Cousin Mindy's farm...she lives in the Roy area and we passed fields and fields of pumpkins growing on the way...Also, Mindy warned us that it could be pretty muddy at the farm so we stopped at the D.I. and purchased shoes and shirts to get dirty....Grandma & Levi loved they're shoes so much they kept them...I kept my shirt...we did get a little dirty but not much....
Here's Levi with a baby goat..
These two beautiful Turkey's have adopted this little Grass Hen...when it's siblings hatched the mother got off her nest to take care of the chicks and the Turkey stepped in and set on the nest...when the egg hatched the turkey's decided that the chick was theirs...my cousin said the mother tried to get her chick back for a couple of days, but the turkeys would chase her off...and the turkey tom was extra protective....pretty soon the chicken gave up and they turkey's have been a happy family ever since!
These two cute little pigs are quick...and know how to stay away from curious boys! Levi informed me they feel scratchy!
I was very interested in seeing the chickens because of wonting to have them myself, but they were not interested in me.... Next it was lets get cleaned up and head to a Wedding!
Annelise is one of my oldest and dearest friends....we meet in High School and have been friends ever since....she has long awaited the arrival of the perfect guy in her life and I have to say Heavenly Father couldn't have hand picked a better one!
Congrates Annelise LeCheminant....It was a beautiful wedding!
