Conference Sunday




What a wonderful Conference weekend. It is hard to listen to everything when you have 2 kids but luckily both were napping during the last session which was my favorite. I'm sure all of us moms loved Elder Ballards talk. It came at a great time for me because just the day before I was telling Shaun can't get so frustrated when I can't get all "MY" stuff done or do the projects I want to do because my family should come first. So it was an important reminder that I choose to be a mom and with that comes sacrifice.  I wouldn't trade it for the world and I'm so grateful for my sweet kids.

So normally after Conference, we get together with my moms side and have a big dinner and then get in a huge circle and everyone tells what their favorite talk was. It is a great tradition we started a few years back. But we didn't get to do that today because my cousin had his court of honor tonight and some went to that. Well we didn't think Ryker and Amelia would do so good there, so we took them for a walk around the little lake and the library on Greenfield. The weather was perfect and it was lots of fun.

Amelia was so happy just sitting in her seat looking all around.


Ryker wanted to jump into the little stream but I got him to take a picture instead.



And of course it wouldn't be a trip with Ryker if we didn't leave like this!!

I love taking walks on Sundays. Enjoy them now because it is getting HOT! I too enjoyed Ballard's talk. It's funny how you can find the ones that you really need to hear.
