General Conference Weekend

I may have mixed emotions about General Conference weekend with 4 little kids.  I love listening to the prophet and the apostles, but actually getting to listen through the background noise of these kiddos can be kinda tricky.  So, here's how we tried to manage.

I know lots of people have "Conference Weekend Doughnuts" that they all make at home.  We decided that is an awesome tradition, but we are more than happy to let Krispy Kreme do the work for us.

And during the break in between sessions, we hiked around the mesa by our house. 

Trying to keep up with Kimball and Jack was a challenge as they sprinted up the nearest hills they could find.

We finally caught up with them.

It was a great conference, with some new announcements about mission ages that just took my breath away.  It was hard not to get emotional and very excited about the new missionaries and how the work is "hastening."  Kimball will not ever know what it's like to have to wait until 21 to decided to go on a mission.
