LOVE conference weekend

My two most favorite weekends of the year are when we get to hear from our Prophet and the apostles during General Conference for the Church of Jesus Christ of Latter-Day Saints.

These are my reasons why:

1. The messages are SUPER uplifting. I am reminded of why we are here on earth, our purpose, and am given so much guidance and direction in mine and my families life.

2. It's RELAXING!! Life stops for a weekend and I am able to enjoy being with my family--the spirit is present in our home because our children are actually CALM and NICE to each other for almost the entire weekend! :)

3. PROJECTS!! We always do fun projects (usually involving cooking and making blankets) while listening to conference.

Here are some picture from our fabulous weekend

Saturday:

Patch quilt for my sister Jamie's little bundle of Joy!!! So CUTE!

ZEBRA "GO BSU" cake!

This was SO SUPER delicious and I totally stole the idea from my sister-in-law Clarissa!! I had extra cake and so the boys made their own zebra cake and LOVED it! They thought it was super fun to make--and they had OODLES of sprinkles covering their cakes.

Sunday:

Our awesome friends, The Speirs, invited us to walk around Albertson's Park with them in between the Sunday sessions of Conference. It was a beautiful day and the boys definitely enjoyed getting their wiggles out with their buddies.
Check out the DEER in the background.

HELLO TENDERNESS!Wiggles? What?Seriously, every time I bring out the camera they both go into ninja mode. This is a typical moment at our home.

Lucky for the boys there were MANY places to climb which they thoroughly enjoyed.
