Conference Weekend

What a crazy day! The weather has been so nice for September/October and all of a sudden it's freezing, raining and windy all day today when we have two flag football games and outdoor family photos scheduled. But we're tough! Peter's game was at 8:00 this morning - that's just too early for a Saturday! We were cold and wet, but he played a great game, getting the flag a few times (Yay Pete!) and we had fun cheering him on! Jacob's game was at 11:00. I didn't want to take Mike out into the cold again so I missed the first half. I put Mike down for a nap, Peter came home to be with Mike and I got to go enjoy the second half. Garr was awesome coaching those boys. He was really getting into it and he does a great job recognizing their strengths and putting them to work. Jacob was amazing! The first part of the second half he ran 4o yards for the touchdown!!! That was so fun to watch! Boy were we all glad to get home and warm up after that!

But we were not able to relax and watch Conference like we had hoped because we had family pictures scheduled. Thank goodness we were able to find a place indoors because the rain and wind were relentless! But the pictures were fun and we are just waiting for Garr's awesome photographer brother to let us see the results. So glad everyone in Garr's family could be there. I think we had 24 people!

Our family loves to watch Conference. We treat Conference Saturday like Conference Sunday! Of course on Saturday I get any shopping done that's needed or the kids play with friends during the break, but we are always watching, taking notes, drawing pictures or playing Conference Bingo and eating candy! It was hard not to be able to watch all of it today, but we saw what we could and listened in the car. We are looking forward to the next two sessions.

Garr took Jacob to the Priesthood session for the first time. Kids grow up so fast.
