Women's confrence

Women's confrence was pretty much amazing. We checked in Wednesday night and checked out Saturday morning. Thursday there were 3 classes offered I went to one about bringing God into our marriage which was excellent and I learned a lot. I also went to one about the divine role of a mother which was also a wonderful class. Then Thursday night we ate at the cafeteria on campus which I have to say was probablly my favorite part! :) It was a buffet full of delicious food and I ate till I was pretty close to exploding. There was a concert Thursday night, Eclipse, and Hillary Weeks were 2 of the performers, it was a wonderful time then we started it all over again on Friday. To end the Friday session Elder L. Tom Perry of the quorm of the 12 apostles spoke to us all and it was absolutley incredible. Durring the closing song, all 20,000 women stood up and all the presenters. The spirit was so strong and I felt united with every person in that room. It was an amzing feeling.

Chuck E. Cheese

Kamela and I had never been to Chuck E Cheese so yesterday we all decided to go and check it out. There was a Chuck E model on a stage that would sing and dance Kamela liked watching him more than anything else. The real chuck E cheese came out and Kamela gave him a hug she was talking about it all the way home.

A day in Seattle

Monday we all woke up really early and headed off to spend the day in Seattle. The first stop was the children's museum for Kamela so she could play and explore. They had lots of rooms and each one had a different theme such as outdoors, ocean, different countries like Japan, Korea, and Africa. There was a children's grocery store, a theatre and the overall theme was Curious George. Well after we played there for a few hours we headed over to the space needle. It was a pretty windy day so while going up the elevator it jolted because of the wind force and stopped for a minute, I was a little nervous but it started again and we made it ok. The view was beautiful, we could see the whole city of Seattle. And then the end to a perfect day was the perfect meal, we ate at the Cheesecake factory. I had always wanted to go there and it was everything I thought it would be. The food was delicious and the cheesecake was to die for! It was soooo good! And then we traveled home safely and slept well that night!

A baby Ganatos on the way

I think everyone knows by now so I figured I might as well make it public, Sean and I are expecting baby number 2 in early/mid September. I recently went to the doctor and got ultrasound pictures. The baby was moving around and I could see the flutter of his/her heartbeat. It made me warm and fuzzy inside! They said the baby was measuring 11 weeks and according to my last period I'm 13 weeks so I'm just sticking with the fact that I'm about 3 months along. Here's our cute little peanut!

Christmas

Me Sean and Kamela just spent Christmas at home this year. It was lots of fun. On Christmas eve we had the traditional wreaths and peanut brittle, read the story of the 3 trees and told Kamela the short version of the Christmas story. On Christmas day we woke up to Santa presents in the living room and then family presents under the tree. We all got some wonderful gifts including new phones from mom and dad Holloway new dishes and a baking pan from Travis and Jenny, chocolate from Sean's grandma, and Kamela got many more presents from me and Sean and Sean's family
