General Conference

I love everything about conference weekend. I love all the time spent as a family, hearing the words of the prophet and apostles speaking about things that are so important in today's world and I love the traditions that we have this time of year. My family has had traditions as long as I remember that I love sharing with my kiddies now. I also love the newer traditions we have with our own family and we even tried a few new things this year.

On Saturday we watched conference at home. 

Here are our conference bowls. Each had different treats or little quiet toys in them. One was for each time there was a song, one was random times we set the timer for and one with different words we each chose to listen for. 

The kids sat pretty well and were amazingly attentive for their ages.
This was by far the best they've done for conference. 

Saturday night Hema went to the Priesthood session with his dad and brother Misi. The kids and I hung out with his mom, None and Peka. It was really fun, but I forgot my camera! 

Sunday morning we always go to my parents for conference. 

My mom is the best cook ever and always makes an amazing breakfast with griddle cakes and her homemade jam! Yummo! 

The kids were in heaven!

This was one of little Hema's activities. He colored and cut these out. So cute!

Singing Happy Birthday to Joe. He and Josh will be 29 tomorrow! 

My parents grow lots of cool pumpkins and gourds and we pick some every October when we go for conference. The kids have been so excited about it for weeks and were thrilled to go choose their own. 

Fun fall goodies to decorate with! 

It was a wonderful weekend! My favorite talks were by Elder Neal A Andersen, Sister Elaine Dalton and of course President Monson. Can't wait to watch and read the talks again!
