General Conference weekend

Paul took an extra-long weekend (Wed - Sun) so we could drive down to South Carolina for some family fun! Here are the highlights from our trip:

We discovered Jenna gets carsick...

When we got there, I realized I had left my phone at home. No phone calls or emails for me! Then, as we were pulling out of the driveway to come back last night, Paul found my phone in the cup holder! Oops!  :)

Paul and his brother left us from Thursday morning to Friday night to go to a friend's wedding in Florida. Paul was in car for over 30 hours in five days! Wow!

Jenna LOVES her Grandparents, aunts, and uncles (and the dogs, goats, chickens, bunny, and bird)! I basically didn't get to do much because she always had someone else to play with or help her.

One of the goats is pregnant and due today! I was soo hoping that she would have them while we were there, but no such luck. We seriously considered staying and having Paul come back to get us!
That poor goat was so fat and uncomfortable! I felt so bad for her!
It's not the best picture, but that goat was big! And you could see the baby goats moving around like crazy!

We had a Birthday Party for the 7 of us who had birthdays in March, April, or May. Paul's amazing mom made four cakes, including this beauty that we made together:
So much fun to make!

Between Conference sessions, Jenna got to fly her very first kite! The weather was beautiful, and she had so much fun! Check out that smile:

She was napping for both the afternoon sessions, but for the morning sessions Jenna entertained herself for a little while with her Conference Packet I printed from here, had some snacks with the boys, but mostly enjoyed painting and doing puzzles with her Aunts.

It was such a wonderful conference. We are so blessed to be able to gather together and listen to our beloved Prophet, Apostles of the Lord Jesus Christ, and leaders of His church! I already can't wait to reread many of the messages in the Ensign!

I'm surprised that you are surprised by her carsickness... I seem to remember you talking about her getting sick in several car trips now... I think it might be here to stay :) Conference was great and I'm glad that you guys had a great time. (PS You already know that I think you are a great cake decorator but I really like your spring cake.)

That's true. I suppose it wasn't so much a "discovery" so much as a confirmation. She is a complete trooper about it; every time her tummy hurt, she asked for a bag, which we definitely had ready this time!
