Jam and Stake Conference

We've had an adventurous week!  On Monday, we went and had FHE with the Hendricksons.  We went to their house to have some fun shooting their bows and had some fun yummy treats.  Eileen loved it.  


This is David just chillin' in the cute little rocking chair that Grandpa Cox made once upon a time.  He loves having a little chair of his own! 


Wednesday was a fun day of running errands and making chili for the ward activity.  We had a Fall Festival with costumes and yummy food and games and lots of fun! 


The rest of the week was the usual school and fun.  We finally got clear enough weather for David and I to get some walks in. 

Saturday was rather busy.  We started the morning by making Jam - Sandi and the kids came up to help out and play.  We got a bunch of stuff canned - it's so good to have home made jam again!!!  My parents also came up to take Anna out for ice cream.  Then after she got back, We took all the kids - including Sandi and her kids - to the Anna Festival.  It was lots of fun - the kids ended up with insane amounts of candy.  Sandi and I had some fun doing karaoke and Anna won a pumpkin painting contest!  The kids had a blast on the bounce houses and rides and I had fun chatting with some friends from church!





After, we got the kids home and got them dinner just in time to need to leave for Stake Conference.  It was wonderful with some great talks given - but Dan and I were both exhausted and hungry.  After, we went to the malt shop with some friends from the ward and got some dinner.  That helped some, but we were still ready to crash when we got home - despite that, Dan was sweet and told me to get ready for bed while he finished off the last batches of the jam. 

Today was also wonderful - Stake Conference was great!!  David was well and done by the end since he was moving into nap time, but he did pretty well.  After, we went home for lunch and I worked with Anna - teaching her how to sew and make an outfit for her doll, and Eileen and Dan made rolls to eat with our homemade jelly!  We had fun playing games and jumping on the trampoline and got in some scripture study and napping - all in all - it was a wonderful day!
