David and I decided to start a tradition that when you turn 8 you get to attend General Conference in Utah at the Conference Center. He took Carmen last year and this year was Aliza's turn! What a neat experience to sit at the feet of the Prophet at such a young age. I hope Aliza will always remember the special spirit she felt this day.
She got to spend a few days with her Utah cousins, but then her trip got unexpectedly extended and she got to go to California with David who had to be at a work meeting. Aunt Rebecca was so kind to watch her while David went to work. I think Aliza loved every minute of the attention and missing a whole week of school. But we missed her terribly!!!! Aliza and Laney really hit it off this summer at the cabin, so I think it was a happy reunion for the two of them.
She went hiking....
She even got to go swimming, as it was still so warm in California.
Here she is, finally home!!! I missed her so much. Having a child gone, even for a short time, just leaves an empty spot in my heart.
Dallin and I made her favorite cookies, No Bakes, for her return.
MEANWHILE BACK AT HOME: We played at the park, several different parks....
The kids got a package from Oma. We love surprises in the mail!
I had to sneak a picture of Dallin sleeping. I love the way he lays on top of all his blankets.
And Carmen got new glasses. They are adorable on her!
