2011 convention

we had our convention last weekend--it was wonderful & so encouraging!
here are some of my pictures...

i always get a picture of the sign so i can remember the theme each year.

chris & i in the book room. his assignment was the book room--so we were in here a lot.

rachel, natalie & me

amber & mckinlee waiting for the session to start

abby, claire & mck

bethenie & me
we have been the closest of friends almost all our lives.
now she has a 17 year old & i have a 12 year old--how in the world did that happen?

michele & me--coordinating very nicely together

amber, chloe, mck & claire

she said phil would never again let them match their clothes after this!
i thought it was cute :)

chris & i on saturday

chris had a talk and did a great job!
(wow--my zoom lens is great. i was sitting SO far away!)

as i was sitting at the book room, i saw a girl from our congregation wearing the same dress--had to get a picture!

mckinlee on sunday before the session

me, new friend (and i found out massage therapist!) erica, natalie & rachel

patricia and me

mckinlee and i in our slippers.
she wanted this picture taken to see what the future is going to look like--i think not!

(i had to do some major cropping on some of these so the new releases stay a surprise for everyone who hasn't been yet!)

our family on sunday--the only picture we got of the three of us!
