A wonderful weekend

Spring is in the air and we love it. Flowers everywhere. This weekend we had the opportunity to listen to the prophet and other church leaders as they instructed us about issues facing the world today. We had some fun activities to help involve the kids and they loved it. Here's a few pictures.

Evan helped put the "Armor of God" on his balloon soldier. He thought it was pretty cool. This was Kaitlyn's first experience with balloons and she thought it was fun too.


Evan played word bingo while listening to the talks. He really enjoyed this and even after he had eaten all the M&Ms and cheerios we were using as tokens he would tell us, "mommy you listen for the word "righteous" and pretend to put an M&M on when you hear it"; "daddy you listen for the word "repentence" and pretend too".


We built a tent like the people of King Benjamin's time to listen to the prophet speak. Evan said his favorite speaker was President Monson. Then he preceeded to ask us what our favorite parts were. Steve said he enjoyed just spending the whole weekend home with the family. I said I enjoyed Elder Robbins talk regarding parenting. Definately one I'll have to go back and study. Kaitlyn's favorite part was the music. At one point Kaitlyn started waving her arm around like she was conducting while the music was being sung. It was pretty cute.

Those are some great conference activities you used for Evan. I'm definitely going to have to use them when Elizabeth is a little older.
