General Conference

I've had lots of social gatherings this week which is always fun. On Tuesday I had a play date at a friend's house. That night we had a girls night and talked and played a game. Most of us left by 1:00 but a few of them stayed until 3:00. Seriously! On Friday I spent the day cleaning and cooking. I fed the missionaries homemade Cafe Rio Pork salads and I also made cinnamon rolls that day for conference. Tradition!

After dinner Friday night we went to some friends in the ward and had milk shakes and partied with them late into the night (for kids). Our kids didn't get to bed until almost 10:45. It was a lot of fun we just chatted in the sun room while the kids ran around like wild animals until they later zoned while watching a movie.

Saturday morning we had to go and clean the church which seems a little pointless to me since there wasn't church this week. Right? Oh well. I hadn't gone to the store to buy our special treats yet for conference and the kids were freaking out the first session. I had cinnamon rolls already. Come on! Anyway Scott took the 3 big kids to the store in between sessions and bought some conference treats and snack foods. The kids were so excited. On the way Piper said, "Daddy do you like treats?" Scott: "Yes, but you know who really, really likes treats? Mommy." Corbin: "I really, really like treats too! I'm a sugar addict."

During the priesthood session I went to another friend's house and we had pizza and the kids ran around and watched Frozen and we somehow managed to talk a bit. Between the two of us there were 9 kids.

Today we ate a lot of junk food all day and watched conference. I have to say it was sure nice to not have to get myself and 4 kids in our Sunday best and go battle during Sacrament meeting. Isn't General Conference the best?

Late night movie party.

I practiced some girl hairdo's during conference.

Cute girl!

Gabby was trying to get Ryan to laugh which is a hard thing to do. He's just learning to laugh. He is very generous with his smiles but not with his laughs.
