I had the chance to go with a group of women from my church this weekend to a conference in Hutchinson. It was fun to ride down with the group and get to know some of my sisters better. The day started out kind of crazy. I got everything laid out and ready the night before since we were leaving the church at 6 a.m. I set the alarm on my phone, checked it twice after I thought I had it set, and since I had never used my phone alarm before I had Scott double check it too. It literally said on the screen that the alarm was set to go off in 6 hours and 40 some minutes. Scott even checked the volume and made sure it wasn't on silent. I woke up several times in the night and looked at the clock to make sure I didn't oversleep. Then At 5:50 a.m. Scott woke up and said, "What time were you wanting to wake up?" I panicked a little because I still had to feed Chloe and I knew I could not make it in time.
But the ladies were so kind and waited. We never figured out why the alarm didn't go off, and we really did try to find the error. Scott said that a couple times his alarm didn't go off when he set it. So... don't trust a phone alarm. The rest of the day went very smoothly. Praise God!
JJ Heller led the music and also did a little concert. I also got to meet her. She has no idea who I am, but it was fun to have the chance to say, "hi" and tell her I enjoy her music. It was neat to hear the story behind the songs she has written. She has 2 kids about the same age as my Luke and Brooke, and writes some songs about them. Here's a couple I relate to:
While I was gone the kids were having a blast. I left Scott with a potty training 2 year old and a teething 6 month old who had never had a bottle. I wasn't worried at all! They've got a great dad! I knew they would have a great day together.
Brooke got in some gymnastics practice. Doesn't she just have a killer smile? I think I could sit and watch her smile all day.
More gymnastics.
The story behind this is Scott was outside with the kids and he wondered what happened to Brooke. She had crawled up into the stroller and fell asleep. When you play hard with daddy you suddenly drop.
Then a little while later Addy dropped too...
Chloe took the bottle fine. She played and slept well. She has been such an easy baby so far.

I think it was a successful day!
