Conference Weekend at the Warby's

So, this last Saturday and Sunday was General Conference and we went to our friend's house Saturday morning. We spent the night and made it a little stay-cation as my cousin Jana put it. The kids were noisy and we didn't get to hear all of Conference, but it was great to start some traditions with Cleod and Kianna (who's almost 4). They found each speaker's picture from the last conference Ensign and they get treats if they heard words like family, temple, scriptures, etc. Here's a photo with the group minus Silas and me.
Kianna asked to hold Grant ALL WEEKEND. It is really cute how much she wants to help out with him.

Ryan and Leksi are so funny. When they were sitting next to each other Ryan looked at her and said, "I love you, Leksi." It's pretty great to have friends who have kids the same age as ours.

Ryan dressed up a lot this weekend. Shoes are his favorite and he walked around in these beauties a lot. He also got a skirt on a few times. :)

We made S'MORES while the Daddys were at the Priesthood session on Saturday night. It was super fun! Here's my goregous friend Deruchette. She's blowing out her shmallow that had just caught on fire.

Cleod and Ryan, melting shmallows.


Kianna does not like being messy. Melted marshmallows are not her thing.

Grant got ahold of a s'more and enjoyed it.

Ryan's favorite song is "We Thank Thee of God for a Prophet" and was in awe when the Tabernacle Choir was singing it during the slide show of Pres. Monson.
We basically had an awesome weekend, listening to the Prophet's voice, playing games, eating yummy food and enjoying the company of our friends.

Next time, I want to be there! It looks like the ideal weekend.
And, as a mother and grandmother, it is extremely gratifying to know these kinds of traditions are being created and continued.
Also, I am surprised how much Grant looks like Cleod in these pictures. He's a darling, and so big!

I was just going to say what Mom said about Grant, he looks so much like Cleod in those pictures!

Avery loved conference too. He got so excited when a member of the first presidency was speaking. he loves pointing them out.
Conference is definitely harder to listen to with kids!

So fun!! It's fun to find things that will help the kids be interested in it, though very tricky to try to do it for all four sessions!
And what the heck, does Deruchette have two kids!!??? Weird!

This looks like so much fun! I was home alone with the babe. Scott was on a caving trip for school. Grant is looking like such a little person now! All your boys are such cuties.
