Twin Falls Temple
We left early Tuesday and drove to our Hotel in Twin Falls.
We thought it was in Jerome.
It was still daylight so we took a quick nap and
went for the 7pm Session.
I love getting Selfies at the Temple!
Thursdays Drive took us to Utah.
A stop at the Daughters of Utah Pioneers Museum is always necessary.
I bought myself Captain and President Pins.
Beautiful stained glass in one of the rooms.
I always try to see my 3rd Great Grandma's Quilt.
I got up real close this time.
Then we finally got to President and Sister Bennett's home.
This Quilt I made her was in the room where we slept.
Here we are at the Marriott Center.
BYU Women's Conference
I loved being at BYU Women's Conference with her.
We went shopping in the morning and attended the Conference in the Afternoon.
I wore my new Pinstripe Dress
I bought at Sweet Salt.
It reminds me of our FM Shirts.
NATHAN PACHECO
His voice is a soothing to my heart,
so clear and easy to listen to
All of the Evening of Entertainers
Bonner Family, Simply Three, Truman Brothers, Nathan and
a sister who was a Missionary in Sweden in 2020.
She performed her first composed song.
So many women filled the Marriott Center flashing their phones.
Just from one side.
There were just as many on the other side of us.
Leaving the house I had to take some memory photos.
The book on the left was made by Elder Cain who took lots of pictures.
The photo on the front makes me cry.
It is of President and Sister Bennett at the door of the Kanesville Tabernacle.
Taken just before the demolition started last April.
He titled the photo " I know the Door"
The photo over the couch was replaced in the Trail Center
with a wall sized Mural of Winter Quarters.
The original is in the Winter Quarters Temple on the 2nd Floor.
The Guys!
They worked together outside Wednesday spraying weeds and trimming bushes.
And a bit of visiting while we fixed dinner.
I'm so glad we could make the detour.
It's been almost 2 years since we left Omaha.
Friday after Breakfast we headed up to Etna by way of Provo Canyon.
Here's Grandpa Paul's first time holding #23
Paul said Look up on the hill...
There were elk walking down.
There was still snow but we were warm inside the loving home of Brant and Tina.
Friday night was a Concert back in Afton at the Star Valley High School.
The Sinc-o-pation group and the choirs sang a variety of show tunes.
Lots of Costume changes.
Christophers choir sang "Chim, Chim, Cheree" dressed as Chiminey Sheeps
with paper plate props.
Calebs choir sang "Kids" dressed as old folks, lol
"What's the matter with kids today?"
We woke up Saturday and Sunday Morning to Deer outside the windows of the Basement.
Just peeking in like they live there.
Pictures at Christopher's Star Valley Soccer Game vs Riverton. they WON!
Put a quilt on the floor to take pictures of the baby and look what happens.
Sisters love to have their pictures taken.
She is dwarfed by the size of the quilt. The Label on the right.
Caleb brought out his well-worn baby Quilt that I made when he was born.
Oh, My Goodness, No wonder he needed a new one... it was loved to tatters.
Derek found his baby Quilt to show me.
Grandma Teresa gave him. It has been replaced
by another fleece one. He carried around with him, all the time.
2 Big Sisters found their Quilts I made for them.
So glad they love the Quilts!
Blessing Day Photos with Grandma Mary
and on her Quilt, wearing her Mom's Blessing Dress.
Anna asked to hold the baby. Grandma had to take a picture.
Miriam Grace Crowther is a sweetheart- Loved by the whole family!
What a blessing that we could be there and spend the time with family.
