Stake Conference

A thought I enjoyed from Stake Conference was by allowing our children their agency, we are allowing them the opportunity to learn from the Holy Ghost. I didn't listen as well as I hoped since two hours on metal chairs with an 18-month-old isn't conducive to much listening, at least for me.

After Stake Conference we ate lunch and then Bracken took Hayes & Kamri to a cemetery to take pictures for Billion graves while Lyla and I took a nap. The kids loved cleaning off graves for Bracken to take pictures of them. Bracken uploaded 118 graves today. I hope someone asks the kids what they did this weekend, just to have their reaction when they say took pictures of graves! They had a lot of fun. I love that Bracken gets involved with things that are a bit random but serve a great purpose. I also love that I got a nap!  Kamri & Hayes wanted to have Bracken take some pictures of them by gravestones so he took a few with them (that he didn't upload).

I was spoiled even more today, I didn't have to make dinner!We ate dinner at Rod (my dad's cousin) & Cindy's house tonight.  Our kids love playing with their grandkids and I love that we have some family here in Vegas. Hayes calls them his third grandparents. (since the kids he plays with are his third cousins)

and a picture from yesterday.  The kids love cleaning out the sink. They spent 30 minutes playing in  cleaning the sink. Hayes had poured an excessive amount of dish soap down the drain so every time he turned the water on bubbles would spew out of the drain. He yelled to me "Mom! Come take a picture and post it on facebook!!"  A bit embarrassed that he knows fb & that you can post pictures I asked him what facebook was.  "A website!"

If only they thought all chores were this much fun!
