Time Out for Women day 2

Day 2 started out with breakfast at our hotel which was packed with all the other women how stayed there as well!
Funny thing:
With the hotel being full at breakfast the staff kept coming to refill the coffee machines but never found them empty!
Hum I wonder why?



My Mom and her Gal pals!

With 2,600 women + only 2 lines for lunch = us heading across the street to the Hard Rock Cafe!


Check out the awesome ceiling!

I guess it's the California Surfer in me that had to take a picture with the Beach Boys album!

Here are just a few of the Guest speakers and performers for Saturday!

Brad Wilcox

Mariama Kallon
Let me just tell you a little bit about her amazing conversion story:
She was raised in war-torn Sierra Leone, and saw many things as a young girl. She witnessed the violent murders of parents and siblings and spent her youth fleeing from rebels, she was introduced to the gospel and at one point was given a humanitarian kit by the Church, which became a treasured symbol of hope that she used to bless the lives of many as they again fled for their lives.
I highly recommend you learn more about her story as she is and amazing women who over came so much!


Mercy River was the performers for Saturday!
I had never heard them before but found them to be really and fun to listen to!

I'm grateful I had the opportunity to go and recommend that you look to see if you have a Time Out for Women in your area and really try to go you won't be disappointed!

Phoenix Convention Center
Here are a few of the Speakers and performer we heard from on Friday night!

Virgina H. Pearce
(Gordon B. Hinckleys daughter)

Sheri Dew

Dallyn Vail Bayles was the amazing performer for Friday night!
He looked a little different the last time I saw him perform... in fact a lot different!

He performed as the Phantom in the the Broadway production Kevin and I went to at the Gammage last year and was so amazing!

Nothing better than replacing the kids in your bed for 15 comfy pillows!

Good Night!

The place was beautiful and the weather was perfect!

This also happened to be Hunter's 7th Birthday!

Happy Birthday Hunter!

Hunter had to bring his new knight armor he got for his b-day!
CJ who is standing right behind him wanted to play with it every chance he got! So CJ's mom asked Hunter if she could pay him a $1 to let CJ play with it...Hunter's answer: SWEET I just rented my toys!!!

The boys found Willy Wonka's chocolate river! However nobody was willing to take a sip!
