General Conference Weekend

I must admit, I love General Conference. I always have, even when I was little. Not that I am all that spiritual, but I always loved hearing the prophet and the leaders of the church speak. It makes me feel good inside. Well, this weekend was no different. Jarom came out with the girls on Friday night (Adrien was with her sisters in St. George). On Saturday Jarom had his second to last class (afterwhich he will have his MBA) while Nick and I watched the girls. It was a lot of fun. I absolutely love telling stories while they are tucked into bed. On Friday night Emmie and I stayed up a little after 11 o'clock just chit-chatting while laying in bed. Saturday night Lacee brought the boys over and Brion brought his boys from Saratoga Springs. We had a ball while the guys went to the priesthood meeting. My ears are still recuperating from all the noise. LOL. Sunday Jarom the girls, and Scott and Lacee with the boys came for lunch in between conference. Here are some pictures of the weekend:
This picture is while the blessing was said on the food on Sunday~~I know I should have had my eyes closed, but this was too good to pass up. Saturday night the kids got the little chairs and started jumping into the Luv Sac (bean bag for those who are NOT COOL). We had to stop this after a while as there was a potential for head banging.
I taught the kids some of the dances that I did while growing up. Here is the "swim". Do any of you remember that? I also taught them the twist (a little BEFORE my time, but just the same) and the pony.
Nick does 5, 4, 3, 2, 1 BLAST-OFF in the Luv Sac. He use to do this with our own kids only he would throw them on the bed. I thought this was a great shot of Kate in mid-air!

Well, Jarom and the girls just left and Allie asked if I was going to be alone. I said that I would tomorrow when Papa goes to work. She thought that was sad and wanted to come back. Anyway, we had a great weekend, as I hope that all of you did!

I think its such a blessing that you live close to your kids and they are able to be part of your daily lives. We loved conference here as well. Phil's parents are arriving tomorrow to spend spring break with us, we're really excited for our grandparent time as well. Maybe I can talk Papa into throwing one of our kids onto the luv sac for a great photo op! :)

Thanks again for helping Jarom. I had a blast with my sisters, but not as much fun as the girls did. They keep talking about all the fun they had. They have the best Grammy and Pa in the world!! Your welcome to come hang out with us any day when Pa is gone.
