Conference Weekend

We had a very full weekend! Friday night Andy's parents came to visit. We all went out to eat at Broadway Burger to celebrate Andy's birthday. Then I got to go to the late night movie with my friends.
Saturday morning Andy left at 4am to go with his friend on something they call the triple threat. They floated down the river in a boat looking for deer to shoot, ducks to shoot, and with their fishing poles in the water. Apparently it works because Andy came home with a deer, a duck, and fish! I'm glad he got to go, he's had to miss hunting season the last few years.
While Andy was gone his parents and I headed to the kids' soccer games. Garen made his first goal! It was completely on accident but it went in and it was his goal! We made it home in time to eat some lunch then watch the afternoon session of conference. Jann was nice enough to hang out with the kids downstairs while I folded 12 loads of laundry and listened upstairs. I got to enjoy all those talks with no interruptions-it was nice. Later that evening Amber, Zeb and kids got to our house. The kids had a good time playing together!
On Sunday we made a big breakfast of sticky buns, pancakes, fruit, and bacon. Then we enjoyed conference. Between sessions we went to the park to get a little fresh air and let the kids run. We had a yummy late lunch of roast, dutch over potatoes, rolls, and corn on the cob. Then we sang to Andy and had birthday cake. Then all of Andy's family were headed back to Logan.


It took awhile for Andy to cooperate and give me a good picture-




After everyone left we decided to take advantage of the beautiful evening and walk over to the playground.











It was a lovely weekend with family and uplifting words from out Prophet! Too bad the great weekend had to turn into Monday morning with the flu!
