Update on our Family

So it has been a very long time since I posted anything. Nothing of iterest has happended until this weekend. I think we packed a months worth of happenings in.

It all started on Thursday. Abigial's kindegarten class went to the zoo. Wyatt and I went along with her. We had a great time. We saw the baby elephant and the baby giraffe. They were sooooo cute!!



Then on Friday John took the kids all on a date (except Wyatt) and they went and saw Harry Potter and the Half Blood Prince. They all had a good time. Then I went to our Super Saturday Make up day and painted until 11:00 p.m.

This year we have regional conference and our stake has been invited to go to the conference center. So Saturday morning John went down to the priesthood session and the kids and I went shopping. Then that afternoon we went to the Scarecrow Festival and Thanksgiving Point. I didn't quite know what to expect because the kids got free tickets from school. Wow!! We sure didn't plan enough time to spend there. There was tons of stuff. All kinds of bounce houses, games, food and pony rides.





Abigial waited in line for an hour to ride the pony. She has been waiting for years to ride a pony. This was here dream come true!!!




The kids got to ride these little bike racers as well.

Then after that we took my sister out dinner for her birthday. Her birthday is this coming week.

Today we went down to regional conference. It was so cool for my kids to see the conference center. It was really neat. The Prophet was there. It was so cool. My kids really enjoyed it. I am so proud of Jacob. He took notes and eveything. He is turning into quite the great boy.

After that we booked it up to Kamas and had dinner with Johns parents.

So after all that it is time to sleep ...

Stake Conference

Well, this weekend was Stake Conference. We were privilaged to have Presidet Eyring come and speak to us. Saturday night was the adult session and the Stake Center was packed. Pres. Eyring spoke on temple attendance. It was very good. Today it was sort of like a zoo at the Stake Center. John went an hour early to get seats and we were on the second to back row of the gym. They had overflow rooms all over the stake center. People were sitting on the floor and in the halls. There were so many people there. Pres. Erying spoke about the trials that come in our lives, and just because we are doing what the Lord asks, doesn't mean that we will have trials. And just because we turn our backs on God doesn't mean that everything is going to go bad for us. But, we need to let our trials bring us closer to God and not turn our backs on him. He gave a good talk. It was neat for my children to get to see him, (sort of, we were so far back).

But boy were my kids naughty!!!! They were just horrible for Stake Conference today. They were all so tired this morning and they just had a rough time. I thought by the time we left I was going to leave my children at the church!!!! But I guess it is good to go and teach them that going to church is good.
