This past weekend my mom & sisters & I gathered together to have a little bit of a girls weekend. We spent two days at the event, "Time Out For Women," a conference put on by Deseret Book. Some of the speakers we heard from were Elder Nelson's wife (Wendy Watson Nelson), Sherri Dew, Kris Belcher, S. Micheal Scott & a few more. Also, singer Hillary Weeks & violinist, Jenny Oaks Baker, performed. Both did an AMAZING job & I can't wait to buy some of their music...maybe Santa will bring me some! :)
All of it was so inspiring & uplifting. These women were hilarious too! Some stories I laughed so hard that I cried! I can't wait to attend another Time Out For Women.

Here we are on day one. Although, we didn't feel complete missing our sister Mandy, who couldn't come down from Boise. We really did miss having you there!!!

Little Adalee was the only baby girl with us. I just CANNOT get over how darn cute she is!!! She is so happy, I could hold her all day.
The first night we spent it at my sister Jenny's house, she lived close to Salt Lake, that way we didn't have to get a hotel. We played our "favorite things" game. We all brought an item that is one of our favorite things, under $10 & then played a game where we kind of swapped. Everyone went home with something new. It was fun, we'll have to play again!
Day two.Notice Jenny's cute scarf? That was my favorite thing I brought, I love it!

For lunch on day two we ran across the street to the Olive Garden & had the worst experience! I never knew you could have a bad experience at the Olive Garden. Anyway, a long story short, we ended up getting about three meals for free-including mine!
It was a short weekend spent together as women, but it was a lot of fun!I'm so grateful to be a part of such a great family, filled with so many amazing women that I love to be around. Thanks for such a great weekend girls!
And thanks to all the hubbies & babysitters for watching all our cute kiddos!
