Happy Days at Seneca

Wow convention was so special - we had such a wonderful 4 days that was non-stop with the 4 "Sticklets" Thank goodness for Grandma and Grandpa Washburn and Uncle Nate. They really helped us not go totally crazy trying to manage -
1. Keeping kids clean
2. Girls hair done
3. Mealtime
4. Meeting bags (clean up and finding new activities, snacks etc)
5. Entertainment in between meetings (note the swing set)
6. Newborn "stuff" - more feedings, pumping, pacing to keep her content, ruined outfits...
7. Diapers and 8zillion trips to the potty
8. Naps for #2 and 3
9. Oh man - this list could go on forever....I'd better stop now. :)


This was the land of "milk and honey" for our kids. Peanut Butter and the honey that comes out of the bear shaped bottles was where it was at for breakfast, lunch and dinner. Crazy kids - Don and I enjoyed eating food we didn't make or pick out.
So nice to have a camper at convention. Hudson stayed at the hotel with Mom and Dad. He was spoiled rotten and it helped us out a lot - especially in the morning trying to make everyone presentable.
Grandma Stickel found these dresses for the girls that all match. They looked so cute on Sunday. Thanks Grandma. It's not easy to find something that matches in all their sizes. Good work!

I love the new dresses! Yes, girls are more "work", but they are so stinkin' cute when it's all said and done. :) We can't wait to see Miss Cadence in a couple of weeks!!

Cute pictures. It's always fun to come see the latest. Sure can relate to the "non-stop" that goes with kids & convention....been there, done that, and it's finally slowing down. But, so worth it, and I sure was glad for grandparents during many of those years too.
Loved the dresses from Gma Stickel :*) You always have your family so nicely "put together!
