Conference Weekend

I loved this past weekend! It seemed so busy but really peaceful too. In Hawaii the broadcast starts at 6:00am! Yup. 6! And it ends at noon.

On Saturday, we had some of the Elders in our Stake over for lunch. Brad grilled steaks! AND made 2 pies! Are you amazed? I was! : ) It was really fun having over the missionaries. They're a really great group!





After lunch they all ran up the hill to the stake center to watch the Priesthood broadcast.

Meanwhile the kids and I stayed home - and I got sucked into facebook! (I just joined.) Facebook is a modern miracle! It's like the reunion I never got to go to. : ) --A reunion with friends from all over!!

After Brad came back we hung out some more. : ) Ava worked on her pulling up/cruising and pulling out books.




And the kids got a package from Grandma. : ) After tearing into it...



they spent some time on the bunny trail.


Thanks Grandma : ).




The next morning the kids hounded us to start dying eggs. So after the first Session we began. : )






The kids had an awesome time until one of the masterpieces rolled off the counter. : ) I guess it's ok if that happens as long as it's not your egg. : ) But they got over it and continued on with the magic. : )

All the while Ava was getting in some bongo drumming on the floor.




And then she got all sweaty and hot (she's like that) I don't know what we're going to do when summer comes around! You'd think our house would have central AC! But it doesn't! (But I am thankful for the AC units we do have!) So when she gets hot and fussy peeling off her clothes does the job -- and playing a great game of Peek-A-Boo with her daddy. : )





After a bit Conference started up again...it's such a blessing to watch it at home!

I'm grateful for the good news and blessings of the gosple, and the awesome talks given. : ) I love Conference Weekend!
