General Conference Weekend

I love the first weekend in April and October because of General Conference. Not only do I get spiritually fed from uplifting talks about how to be more like the Savior, I get to spend lots of time with my family.

Watching 8 total hours of talks and songs on TV provides plenty of time for snuggling on the couch.



We get to enjoy our Conference food traditions: blueberry muffins and scrambled eggs, white chili and corn bread, chocolate chip cookies, and what I think will be a new tradition...cinnamon rolls.



We love enjoying outside time between sessions--this year Saturday was too stormy to go outside :( But Sunday was beautiful so we went for a family walk, and Jason and Addie frolicked in the backyard.

Homemade Gift

The first five people (LOL--that's probably the total number of people who view this blog) to comment on this post will get something made by me. My choice. For you.

This offer does have some restrictions and limitations: I make no guarantees that you will like what I make. What I make will be just for you.
It'll be done this year. You have no clue what it's going to be. It may be a story. No guarantees, I may sew or stitch or bake something. Who knows? Not you, that's for sure! I reserve the right to do whatever I want!

The catch? Oh, the catch is that you must re-post this on your own blog and offer the same deal to 5 of your own lucky blog readers. So, the first 5 people to leave a comment telling me they are in, win a homemade gift by me! Be sure to post a picture of what you win when you get it.

Little Chefs

So, in my quest to reduce tv veiwing in oour home to 2 hours a day, I've been focusing on lots of fun activities. Winter returned here and it's too cold to play outside, arghhh! Yesterday morning by 8:30 we had already watched 30 minutes of tv, eaten breakfast, colored, played with play dough, read books, and baked cookies. My mom made theses hats for the kids at Christmas time--Jason loves to bake with me. But unfortunatley, I need to work on my patience level with him during our baking sessions--so< I can't handle doing it with him too often. Addie loves doing anything her big bro does, ANYTHING!
