Fun At General Conference

Friday night of conference, my 2 great neices, Jayden (7) & Jesi (6) spent the night with Uncle Steve & Aunt Debbie! We enjoyed them so much. . . .telling the bed time story, praying together before going to sleep, just laughing and having fun together and them waking up the next morning and getting to eat skittles in bed! I look forward to the holidays when we get to see Jayden & Jesi again along with Shiloh Grace and baby Huck on my side as well as Seth and Liah on Steve's side! They are all so much fun! I've enjoyed being an aunt to my 4 nephews (Jonathan, Jeremy, Shiloh, & Hayden) and my 1 neice (Cheyenne). . . .the fun continues as their kids come along!

General Conference

I have been slack in updating our blog. Some of my friends have let me know. : ) Please forgive me, I will try to do better. We had a great time at General Conference in Greensboro, NC. It was a great conference! The services were great. . .the preaching, the music. . it was all great! I love GC. . . .a time to see so many friends, as well as my family! General Conference has always been a highlight in my life ever since my first one when I was 11 years old in the summer in Portland, Oregon. . . . .so many years ago . . . .more than we like to think!! I haven't shot pictures at conference in a few years. I used to do photography for Youth Day. . .etc. . . .when I was younger. . .but this year, I shot a few pictures with our little camera of lots of great friends and family!

Friends At General Conference

We just got back from Greensboro, NC where we attended GC. It was a great time to get with friends and family and to hear some incredible preaching! Debbie will be posting a slide show with a ton of pictures. It was good to see everyone! Praying God's best for all of you!

Got Bacon?

The infamous Dexter, landscaper extraordinaire, checking to see if there is any extra bacon!

LIFE AT NIGHT IN THE BIG CITY?!!!

Tonight when Steve & I were leaving the church after prayer, I looked across the street and saw something that I would never think that I would see walking down the street in a big city! I saw what I first thought was two big cats, but another look I realized that it was two raccoons!! Raccoons right in the middle of Torrance, the southbay area of the 2nd largest city in America. . . .Los Angeles!! A few times I have seen a skunk out on that same street and ever so often at night, we have a possum that goes along our side wall of our house. Of course Dexter and Chaquita go wild going after him! The other night I was taking Dexter out on a walk around 8 p.m. and a couple of men from down the street were trying to catch a raccoon. . .right in our neighborhood! We are not on my parent's ranch in Louisiana but right in the middle of the city where there are no big fields or woody areas, but lots of concrete and buildings!! One thing I have learned is that Raccoons, Possums, & Skunks are all a part of life at night in the big city!!

Monday Morning Breakfast at Home!

There is nothing like the smell of bacon coming from the kitchen on a cozy morning! I thought I would make some bacon and eggs with toast today. Nothing like the creature comforts of home before heading out on a busy week! Hoping you all are having a great day!

Dexter the Landscaper!

I came home today to find that Dexter, our boxer, had rearranged the palms we had around the pool. Notice Dexter's way of watering the palms! LOL! You notice he is no where to be found in this picture, but let Chiquita (poodle) be photographed with the evidence. Just wait till his Momma comes home.....LOL!

He will be safe because this is the only proof that we will have at his effort at landscaping. It will be our secret!

Hope you all are having a great day!
