Today was a nice relaxing Conference Sunday. It was a little bit difficult listening to all the talks with two little ones. Garen slept through some of it and Andy did a great job helping Maddie understand what conference is. We have been reading about King Benjamin in the BOM, so Andy compared Conference to when King Benjamin was preaching and the Nephites pitched their tents to listen. Andy helped Maddie build a tent that she could sit in to watch our living prophet. Then Maddie drew pictures of King Benjamin on his tower and of President Hinkley. This captured her attention for a long while but Conference is 4 hours-so she got a little tired of watching. But I was able to hear some wonderful talks!!!
After Conference we had Andy's parents and his sister and family over for dinner and birthday cake to celebrate Andy turning 28. Here are some pictures:
Maddie was counting the candles to make sure there were really 28
Andy blew his candles out in one breathe, even though there were so many!

Cute cake Em! Did you make it?
The first session of conference was hard with Taylor, luckily she was sleeping through most of the second one! :) Kids totally change everything!
I can't believe how big Amber's baby is getting!
Happy Birthday Andy!!! Hope it was a great day for you! Amber's baby is so cute!
My Mom left you a comment on my page under my Happy Birthday post for my dad.
That is the coolest way to get kids interested in conference. So creative, I especially loved the tent. I'm going to have to remember that for when Lizzie is older.
