Conference Weekend

This was another fun and crazy week.   James had a dentist appointment on Monday - and he was so excited.  He did really well, sat still the whole time and was so excited to get his own tooth brush and tooth paste and floss.  He's been calling it 'gloss' all week and it's cute to watch him try and floss his teeth on his own.  

James and Payton had a great time playing together in the afternoons - during one of my check-ins, I found them like this in James' room - with coats on - I had to convince them that they would be too hot if they tried to wear them outside.  James still asks me if Payton is coming over every day.  They are so cute!  


James had preschool on Tuesday - he loves going to preschool and playing with friends.  He's a very social boy!  Then Payton came over after preschool to play.  Then after school, Anna had her dentist appointment.  

Wednesday was late start for the kids and then I picked up Nicole and Tayanna and we went to the library - they were having a special birthday story time with balloons and cupcakes.  Nicole watched the kids at the library while I went to a doctors appointment.  I talked to my Ob-Gyn and got some blood drawn and then went back to pick everyone up.  After school was the usual bustle and then I had choir in the evening. 

Thursday James had preschool again and had a blast, The kids had piano lessons after school.  Their piano teacher commented on how good Aaron's rhythm is - something I'd noticed also, so at least he should make a good percussionist.  In the evening, I went to the Adult institute class again.  I am really loving spending time studying the Old Testament.  After I stayed and chatted with Joey and Sara for a bit - they are such amazing women!!  

Friday morning, James and I stopped at the library to return and replace a damaged book - the wonderful, sweet, amazing library lady waved the processing fees for me and made it all easy!  Then James and I headed to go get my allergy shot followed by a stop at Costco.  Then home for lunch and picking up the kids 

Eileen decided to try and teach the chicken a trick - the chicken can now balance on Eileen's hand with no help... 


This weekend was conference weekend and it was amazing!  The speakers were just amazing - the talks were uplifting and wonderful!  Dwayne and Nicole and their kids plus Jeremiah and Becca came over for lunch.  Then Dwayne and Nicole watched some of the second session before they had to leave for an appointment.  Becca and Jeremiah stayed for dinner and lava cakes and a game after priesthood session.  I tried to teach Becca how to crochet - she's a quick learner and picked it up easily.  (I'm just not a very good teacher)

Conference today was wonderful too!  The kids even did a really good job watching and being reverent (mostly!!)  Rachel and Neveah came over to watch the final session with us.  Now i'm totally beat and heading to bed!!
