Women's Conference In Nauvoo, Illinois

I performed with a few other Professionals, always a spiritual lift!

Todd Boyer played accoustic guitar for the conference and many of you might know him from arranging my Oh Holy Night song. The version on Youtube that we did at The Christmas Wish in 2006 & 2007. An amazing talent...I'm grateful to know him and his sweet family!

You may recognize a few of these people. Dean & Kathy Hughes (famous author and General Relief Society Presidency) also Bro. & Sister Ludwig (Nauvoo Mission President & Wife) and President Wayne Peterson & wife Joan (Temple President & Matron) All such amazing friends of ours. And the Temple President is Matt's cousin. Our kids have adopted them! We love them!

Kim Smith & Brian Davis are such awesome friends and co-workers to Matt. They have an incredible heritage, one which you should ask them about. They do firesides all over the country right now. They are Joseph Smith Jr.'s great great grandchildren. Amazing stories about joining this church!

Some of you may remember me talking about the surprise hotel room concert I did about 3 years ago at the first Women's Conference. Well...here are a few of those nearly 40 first groupies! They are back and we had a blast!!!

Our friend Sebastian was baptized. Matt got to polish up on his Spanish skills and the kids and I got an education in the Spanish language every Sunday taking him to church. Matt also taught and started a Spanish Sunday School in our ward.

Chenille Saunders & Marvin Goldstein in Concert
April 18 2009

Remember this Marvin? Where is your Celine Dion Wig?
We should have gotten a picture of that!


Several hundred showed up in Iowa to see the concert.
We had such repore on stage together it was rather
classy, yet impromtu...the audience didn't know what to expect next.
PERFECT!


The Grand Theatre is designed after the theatres in Chicago.
It seats almost 800. What an amazing theatre to perform in!

The annual Pea Battle Ridge Ball in Keokuk, Iowa. We went with a group of friends from church and the theatre! The Dancing and the Grand March is our favorite.

Great fun! There are usually around 300 at the balldressed in time peroid clothing. Thank you Linda for the use of your gorgeous gown!

The dancing and the Grand March are our favorites! Other than the mingling that we get to do with all of our tri-state area friends!

April Flowers

Sophia brought me a loverly bunch of lilac flowers

Then big brother, James saw that if mom liked those small flowers then surely she would love a WHOLE branch of flowers better! Funny kids...
