General Conference Weekend

I absolutely love General Conference weekend. It is so great to enjoy a couple days with lots of family time, some great food and a huge spiritual lift! 

Our niece and nephew (Ava and Joey) slept over on Friday so we ran over to the Home Depot kids building project early Saturday morning.  Our kids love to go to them and although we usually forget they are the first Saturday of the month, my dad works at Home Depot and always calls to remind us! This month the project was bird feeders. All the kids had a great time making them. Home Depot even gave us bird seed to put in them. 

Don't mind the poor pictures quality my phone offers! :)

We came home and painted the bird feeders and hung them out in the yard.

Saturday we enjoyed the conference sessions at home as a family and then Hema usually takes his dad to the Priesthood session, but his dad wasn't feeling well so he just went to our local stake center. 

Sunday morning we always go to my parents house to have a yummy griddle cake breakfast and watch conference with the Hawkins family. The kids love to spend time with their cousins!  This year we didn't do the candy buckets, I felt like the kids were getting way too much candy which really ends up with hyper and crazy kids by the afternoon session!

Here is Hema's drawing of President Monson speaking.
It says, "To be good our parents go to the temple."

We did a lot of coloring and conference printable worksheets and they kids all sat pretty quietly and were well behaved.

 Vela loves to snuggle with Grandma and soon fell asleep and was snoring pretty loud. 

Hunter and Cora. Cora stole her headband for the picture. 

Hunter did a little easter egg hunt for the kids after conference and everyone had a great time! 

I love all the messages we heard at conference. I really needed to be reminded of what is really important and how vital my role is as mother to my three littles. I found a link on one of my favorite blogs to these free conference prints. (Here's the LINK)

I look forward to reading the talks again and again and continuing to learn.
