Rare Occurences

My sister has 6 kids...and not only does she have 6 kids but they're 6 boys! I thought it would be a grand idea for her to have a little vacay. She's talked about wanting to experience general conference in Salt Lake and go to some sessions in the conference center. One thing lead to another and viola! She came to Salt Lake free of kiddos and husband to spend 5 days w/us! Conference weekends are always fun because there is so much going on around town and a lot of friends and family come for the various events. So we had lots of fun and plenty of entertainment. I'm thinking about making it an annual traditition but we'll have to include the rest of the sissy's in the future.

We went to a couple of Poly Concerts and had a lot of fun. Olaea and Taima sang back-up one night at a club so we were in the front row cheering for them. Always fun to go out and support them. We stayed up til 3 or 4 in the morning a couple times. Can't remember the last time I've done that but it made me feel young again.

 This was my favorite concert that weekend. Dinah Jane solo'd and took the stage w/Fjii.

But Fjii stole the show...bandaged hand and all! We got there around 10pm and he didn't come on stage until well after midnight. So we said we'll just take a pic of the man and go find a seat because our feet were so sore and tired from standing all night. Fiji kept singing all the right songs though! We couldn't sit down. We stayed on our feet until after the encore. Well worth the pain!

We rode the trax to conference and ran into Elder Tuione who is from Independence. We might have been more excited to him then he was to see us. We wanted to get a pic w/him so we could pass it on to his mom.

So glad my sister was able to come out and hang with us. Another note worthy event that took place during her visit was when Louisville won the NCAA championship! We made navajo tacos and cheered on everyones "cousin" Peyton Siva.
