We had such a great weekend being together as a family and watching General Conference! Conference weekend always evolves great food. On Saturday we watched conference then ate, watched conference and then ate again then had dessert! Then woke up Sunday and did the same thing all over again!! Sunday did hold a little surprise. Ariana was up before me and came in to tell me it had snowed! In April, I know! I was NOT prepared for the amount of snow we got! There was about 6 inches of the wettest, heaviest snow I have seen! It looked beautiful covering everything!
During conference the kids each get a bingo card with key words on it they have to listen for. Candy is the reward so it works well!
Nik takes notes since he is a little older! But still enjoys the candy!
Between sessions on Saturday Kalixta wanted to read her scriptures. She brings them to me and says she wants to read me something! She reads, “Wherefore it came to pass that my father, Lehi, as he went forth prayed unto the Lord, yea, even with all his heart, in behalf of his people.” When she finished I asked why she read me that verse. She exclaimed, “He is a prophet and he only prayed for half his people!!” I just started chuckling and we had a good discussion about what behalf means! Sweet moment!
One of the great things about living in Utah is that people come here to visit family or like this weekend to go to Conference!! Adam’s friend from his mission, from Ecuador, came with his daughter. They came to visit us! It was so fun to meet someone from Adam’s mission. He was super sweet and wonderful. Both him and his 11 year daughter spoke English well!!! But that didn’t stop them from going on and on in Spanish! It was fun for me to listen to Adam speak, he sounds so native!! The guy standing next to me is one of Adam’s companions that lives here in Spanish Fork! Ariana and Tori got to stay up and spend time with their new friends!! They were in heaven! Tori cried when they left because she wanted to go with them!
They brought us candy straight from Ecuador! The kids loved it!!
Today the kids spent a little while playing in the snow and of course made a snowman!
It was a wonderful weekend!!

Clean beautiful fresh snow. Did the kids love the candy or the snow the best? Conference was great. Looks like the kids paid attention. Great!
Those kids look like they had a pretty sweet set up for conference. I think I’ll have to get in on that next time.
