Conference Weekend With the Fam

General Conference weekend was the best! 
My parents and all of my siblings, but Logan were
able to come to Utah for Conference! 

We had 10 extra people staying in our house and 
we loved it!! 
Get ready for a TON of pictures haha

So everybody got here on Thursday and then on Friday we
all went to the zoo! The zoo still had the dinosaurs up
and the kids thought that was pretty cool. 







































It was a nice day, but at one point it was a total down pour!! 
SOO much rain, luckily we were inside the reptile 
building at the time, so we just hung out till it calmed down. 

Lots of fun! That night mom and dad watched the kids so some of us siblings 
could go to the temple.  Unfortunately we didn't get all in together, 
but it was still such a great experience and we all went 
out for frozen yogurt afterwards.  It was fun to have a little kid free time together :) 

The next day was conference.  
We got some treats for the kids and put pictures of
the first presidency and some gospel topics in
the treats.  That way whenever they heard those words or saw
those people they got the treat.  
It helped them pay attention for the first little bit of the
first session haha


Listening to conference was amazing as usual.  
I was so glad that we had a basement and a little outdoor
area that the kids could play in while we watched conference. 
It was funny though because as all the other kids ran 
around and played Micah stayed on the couch 
by grandpa almost the whole time! 
He definitely wasn't sitting still.  But he just wanted to 
be on the couch by his bamba! 








helping bamba make breakfast Saturday morning. 

After the Saturday afternoon session Matt and Luke decided
to take all of the kids for a little hike. 
They left from the house and headed to the mountains 
with six kids haha 

I decided to go up and meet them at the parking lot of the hike
So I went up and met them and started the hike.
After a little while of hiking we realized that we were 
running out of time and then it also started to rain. 

We didn't want to turn around, but decided we better.
Pretty much as soon as we turned around it started pouring! 
The poor kids were not too happy about it haha
So we ran back to the car that I had brought up, but not 
before we all got soaked. 

We were all trying to dry off kids so fast when we got home 
that I only got a picture of Micah.. 


That night my sister made these delicious cupcakes! 


Sunday was filled with more Conference and yummy
cinnamon rolls



After the last session we took all of the kids for a walk 









And when we got back we all sat down and had a turkey 
dinner and talked about our favorite talks from conference




That night my dad gave us a family home evening lesson
and it was amazing. 

Having family around is always the best.
And when you mix family and conference it's even better!
Thanks for coming everyone!
