What a GREAT weekend! Ruffin didn't have training on Saturday so he got to spend the morning with us, which is always nice! After Ruffin made us a yummy breakfast we watched the first session of General Conference. I always love all the talks but a couple that really stuck out to me were Elder Nelson's and Elder Ballard's. What great counsel for parents and young mother's! I can't wait until Thursday to be able to print off the talks and really study them!
In between the sessions on Saturday, we cleaned our house a little but mainly PLAyeD!! Here we are playing drums!!! We had fun, but I don't think our little family band will be selling out any time soon!:)

While Ruffin went to the Priesthood session Gracee, Emme and I all went to the Temple and walked around. Gracee got all excited to go and rambled off her story that She is going to marry a boy in the temple and so is Emme and first they have to grow tall tall tall:)



This next picture makes me laugh because Gracee had to take my picture by this pole and was telling me to hold Emme higher and was probably just mimicking me when I take countless pictures of her. Well when we got home and Gracee and I were looking at the pictures that we downloaded she looked at this picture and said (with a twinkle in her eye) "Awe mom where is Gracee, why not I in the picture?" Before I had time to remind her that she was playing photographer she laughed and was on her way.

On Sunday Gracee was entertained for the majority of the first session with the activity book my friend Holly emailed us the link to! So Thank-you Holly it was Great!!!
There were lots of coloring pages..

It also had some little books that she colored then I cut them out and we put them together. This kept her occupied for a long time!


Gracee spent about 20 minutes sorting the crayons and organizing them and then moving her piles around. It is fun to watch the funny things she does!

I love Conference and am so Grateful to have a living Prophet on the earth that guides us and acts as the Lord's mouthpiece! I am also grateful for all the Apostles, I can honestly say I love all of them and don't personally know any of them, they are all just amazing men! What a blessing it is to have the Gospel in my life!

I'm so glad you liked the conference books... I thought they were awesome! :) What a good idea to take the girls up to the Temple during priesthood session. We'll have to get together again soon. I'm missing you guys... we should start planning a WEG spouse night soon! :)
I loved conference too! When I moved out here I was sad to think that I would have to go to the church to listen or to someone elses house that has BYU tv. I just love to spend the time at home. I was so glad when Terry remembered that you can watch it on the internet. We made it as big as the screen and it was just as good as the TV. Isn't technology great!!! We piled around the computer and enjoyed every word. I am grateful for the new prophet and the testimonies of the 12 about him being the true prophet too!
I love the picture of Gracee holding Emme's hand as they're walking on the temple grounds. Too cute! It makes me so excited for May...
I'm so glad that you enjoyed conference. I love that it can be such a special weekend and that we all get so excited for listening to 8 hours of talks. I also can't wait to get the Ensign and the whole thing on CD so I can listen to the talks over and over again.
Sounds like you had a great weekend. The girls get cuter everday. What sweet little sisters.
