Time out for Women

So yesterday I went to "Time out for women" with some girl friends. I had a wonderful time! It was so good! The speakers were very inspiring, each had something that stirred my soul. One of the reasons I went though, was to meet on of my favorite LDS artist Hilary Weeks. I was not disappointed. She is great, just as I imagined she would be! I discovered last night that she has started a blog, so I am putting it in my little list of blogs I visit. You can truly feel she believes in what she sings, she is also so cute and funny!
It was so good to be in great company, be lifted by wonderful talks, and enjoy excellent music.
Overall a day well spent!
Alors, hier je suis allee avec mes amies a "Time out for Women". C'etait super! Les orateurs etaient tous bien, chaqu'un a touche mon coeur. Mais une des raison que j'y suis allee etait pour voire Hilary Week une de mes chanteuse preferee. Je n'etais pas decue! Elle est super! Just come je l'imaginais. J'ai decouvert hier qu'elle a commence un blog. Je l'ajoute sur ma petite liste de site que je visite. J'ai vraiement ressentis qu'elle croix en ce qu'elle chante. Elle est mimi et marante! C'etait super d'etre en bonne companie, d'ecouter des supers discours et d'avoire ete inspire par de la belle music. Une journee bien passee quoi!

Mindy Gledhill's new Cd

While looking at Hilary's blog I also looked for my very favorite LDS artist, Mindy Gledhill and found her my space blog and was I Wowed! She is coming out with a new Cd in 3 days! She has a myspace where you can listen to 4 of her songs. She is incredible! Love it. Love it. Did I say I Love it! I am buying it as soon as I get to Salt lake next week!

En regardant le blog d'Hilary j'ai aussi recherche mon artist favorit: Mindy Gledhill, et j'ai trouver qu'elle a un myspace! J'etait super contente de voire qu'elle sort un nouveau CD dans 3 jours! En ecoutant 4 de ses nouvelles chansons sur son site, j'ai decide d'acheter son Cd des que j'arrive a Salt Lake la semaine prochaine!

Cards


Recently, I went to a friend's house to do some scrapbooking, she is starting her own business. I don't really scrapbook, but I do like to make cards. My blogs are my scrabooking and family history :)

Dernierement je suis allee chez une amie qui commence son propre buisness de scrapbook. Je ne fait pas de scrapbook car mes blogs sont mes memoirs de famille. Mais j'aime faire des cartes.
Voici le blog et site de Wendy:

Lina et Lilian



Pictures of my nephew and Lina. I love to capture moments of human tenderness when no one is aware that a camera is pointed at them. I think that those are some of the best photos...
Photos de Lilian avec sa maman Lina. J'aime capturer les moments de tendresse, quand persone ne sais qu'une camera et visee sur eux. Je pense que cela fait pour des belles photos naturelles...

A colorful plate... worth a shot!



Can you can guess what this is? This appetising plate was found in Alexi's room as he was cleaning it today! It had a lid on it so the smell was contained... I bet you've never found anything as lovely as this in your house?

Vous pouvez deviner ce que c'est? Cette assiete bien appetisante a ete trouvee aujourd'hui par Alexi en rangeant sa chambre! Il y avait un couvercle dessu qui contenait l'odeure... Je suis sure que vous n'avez jamais rien trouve chez vous d'aussi beau!

Bouquet de mon jardin...


Don't be afraid to be different and to stand out from the crowds...
N'ai pas peur d'etre different et de sortir de l'ordinaire...

Memoires d'un vie...

This is my Grandma: Henrillette Vanaquer, she is 97.
Everyone thinks that I look like her when she was my age.
So I guess here are a few photos of how I might look like in 50 years,
if I live that long!
Voici memere Henrillette, elle a 97 ans.
Tout le monde dit que je lui ressemble.
Voici donc a qui je devrais ressembler dans
une cinquantaines d'annees,
si je vis aussi longtemps!


Her hands
Hands that have tickled
Hands that have played
Hands that have fed
Hands that have healed
Hands that have served
Hands that have labored
Hands that have suffered
Hands that have comforted
Hands that have sacrificed
Hands that have received
Hands that have loved
Hands that are loved

Ses mains
Mains qui ont chatouille
Mains qui ont joue
Mains qui ont nouri
Mains qui ont gueri
Mains qui ont servi
Mains qui ont travaille
Mains qui ont reconforte
Mains qui ont sacrifier
mains qui ont recu
Mains qui ont aime
Mains qui sont aimees

Poppies

In France, I wanted to find a field of poppies to take pictures of, but I never found one so I had to be content with a few here and there... I am quite pleased with the result.

En France, je voulais trouver un champ de coquelico a prendre en photo, cela a ete sans succes. J'ai du me contenter de quelques coquelico ici et la... Je suis quand meme contente avec le resultat.

Disney world



I am at my sister's house for a couple of days before Justine and I leave for London. Here is a short recap of our Orlando Florida trip.


We had a great time, lots of fun for all... Amelie and I went with the Browns to Magic Kingdom, while Mike, his brother Nephi and the big kids went to The Epcot Center. The next day we went to a water park "Blizzard Beach". Then we went to a different kind of attraction: "The holy Land" my personal favorite. It is a reenactment of the place where Jesus lived with tons of educational and theatrical events happening throughout the day, they did an excellent job. It was a very relaxing, peaceful and a welcome change from the worldly attractions. The last day we were there we all went to MGM studios... More photos will come later.




Je suis chez Audie pour 2 jours avant de prendre l'avion pour L'Angleterre.

Nous avons eu un temps formidable en Floride. Amelie et moi sommes allees avec les Browns a Magic Kingdom pendant que Mike, son frere Nephi et les grands gosses sont alles au Centre Epcot. Le lendemain nous sommes aller a un park d'eau "Blizard Beach". Puis nous sommes alles a un autre genre d'attraction: The Holy Land, mon prefere. C'est un endroit qui, quand on rentre est comme si ont est la ou Jesus vivait. Il y a plein d'evenements theatral et educational toute la journee, c'etait tres relaxant, paisible et un changement bienvenu pour moi des autre genres d'attractions. Le enfants ont aussi apprecie. Le dernier jour nous sommes tous alles a MGM studios... Plus de photos viendrons plus tard.
