M & D Creations

I had the best weekend! I was able to go to Time Out for Women. Sister Sherri Dew spoke. (she is one of my absolute favorites.) Hillery Weeks sang, and I loved listening to Emily Watts, and Micheal Wilcox. Everyone was terrific. We started the weekend with my favorite food, (Chinese) then headed to the conference, then hit a 10pm showing of Mama Mia. I highly recommend this movie. It was so cute, and I loved the music. Definitely a chick movie. (unless your husband is secure with his masculinity like mine is)

We stayed at the hotel in Anchorage so we wouldn't have to drive back and forth. (mom, Jayme, Renae and I) and it was like having a giant slumber party! Then we went back the next day, for even more fun and great speakers.

While mom was away, daddy and the kids got to play. This meant pizza and movies Friday night, with a big slumber party of their own in our living room. Then Saturday, Matt's dad came over and they decided to hike the Butte. The Butte is a fun hike. But apparently I neglected to let Matt in on a little secret. (When you get to the top, go back down the same way. Don't take the trail that goes down the other side.) They went up one side of the mountain, and then down the other side, and when they couldn't find the car, realized that it was on the other side. Oops! So, after 5 miles walking around the base of the mountain, they were finally on their way home. (the kids sure slept good that night...1 mile up the mountain--much of it rock climbing--1 mile down, then a long walk) And all I had to do was go away for the weekend. Thanks sweetie! Your the bestest!
