Conference Friends

Conference weekend was great for us, as most conference weekends are. We were able to make yummy monkey bread for breakfast, build a fort to watch conference in, and spend an entire weekend nestled in our house. It was the usual traditions we like to do. I came out of the kitchen after making breakfast to find some friends had joined us to hear the conference speakers. Brighton said "They want to hear conference too mom because it's really important." After that she promptly went back to coloring and bugging her brother. At least someone knows the magnitude of what we hear during these weekends.

Also, after the last session we decided to walk down the road to the duck pond in our neighborhood. We were feeding the ducks and Porter had a big piece of bread in his hand when this duck caught him off guard and snatched it right out of his hand! Porter was a little frightened at the ordeal so Kyle picked him up to console him when this same duck walked up behind Kyle and pecked at his leg! I almost got the actual peck on camera, but it didn't happen. You can just imagine the duck's bill landing on Kyle's leg and me almost falling over with laughter. It was comical. The kids had a good time but I'm not sure when they'll be up for going to see the aggressive ducks again.

This made me think of the time you made the orange monkey bread stuff for us at my parents house when it was just the four of us watching conference...oh, the good old days...

Miss you.

Meant to call you today. Was crazy busy. Will try again soon.
