General Conference Weekend

I really wanted to make an effort this year to have our family sit down and watch all four sessions of General Conference (or at least sit in the same room). I found that the internet has a wealth of information for mom's trying to keep kids entertained during Conference and armed with a load of coloring pages, activities, toys, and food I set up on Saturday morning

We cleared everything out of the living room and let the kids

occupy whatever space they wanted

Can you tell who my easygoing kid is? At this point Lincoln was

running in circles around the room

Food, Food, and more Food- that was my trick for getting the

kids to stay in the living room with me :)

Mom and dad came over Sunday morning and we had a big brunch (complete with ham and cheese souffle- made me miss the Devlins). The kids loved having Grandma and Grandpa to play with all morning although I think Linc distracted Grandma through most of the session! All in all I would say we did pretty well, hopefully it will continue to get better as the kids get older!

Catch-up

So far I have been really bad about posting, always room for improvement. We had a fun time last week with Mom during her Spring Break (makes me long for the summer when we can play together all the time!) We took the kids to the mall playplace...

Lincoln found Yertle the Turtle

(thank you Grandma for teaching him that- now every turtle is named Yertle!)

Playing together - they seem to do this a lot lately, SO NICE!

Reagan was playing in the car with another little girl when a little boy decided

to join them- he sat right down in Reagan's lap!!

She didn't cry or anything, just kind of looked at us like, what the heck??

Playing at Grandma's school- we love going there for lunch!

Finally warm enough to go outside, this was Reagan's first time on a bike- she was pretty good!

Lincoln won't even touch his big boy bike that Santa brought him,

we'll have to work on that this summer!

More to post later...
