Conference Weekend

We had a great weekend due to the General Conference proceedings. It was fun to be here as a family together and enjoy watching conference. Jerry has been working longer due to finishing one project and the start of another so it was nice to have him all to ourselves this weekend. On Friday we rented a movie and then ended up watching a movie on TV after the rental. We spent the rest of the weekend being tired but we enjoyed our "date night." On Saturday it was neat to be part of a solemn assembly and sustain a new prophet. We is still a little strange not to see President Hinckley there but I am sure with time we will become more accustomed to the new presidency. Jerry and Landon went and flew kites in between sessions. We have enjoyed the kite season this year and the kids (Jerry, Landon and Lauren) have loved to fly their kites. We are on our second Dora kite and needing to buy another Diego kite after Saturday's excursion. Jerry attended Priesthood and really enjoyed that session. He and Landon have been building Landon's train together after getting some needed extension pieces. It takes up most of Landon's room but he loves to play with it. We found out on Sunday the Jerry's uncle Val had passed away. Their family is in our thoughts and prayers. On Sunday we watched all of conference. I loved Elder Ballard's talk and can't wait to print it off and read it again. We went on a walk and visited with the Bishop and his wife. They are really good people. We feel lucky to be in this ward. The weather was beautiful and we throughly enjoyed the weekend.
