Seth found some puzzles in a box in the basement and quickly set everyone into a puzzle mania. They worked on those puzzles like there was a deadline. I admit it was a little frustrating. At times you could hear me saying,"Set down the piece and walk away from the puzzle,"in my best police voice. I mean we do have other things to do! Anyway- they completed two puzzles this weekend. Way to go!
Conference was AMAZING! I was so sad to see it end. So many good thoughts and lessons, all accompanied by the Spirit. An elder from my mission always said, "The spirit is the FINEST feeling!" Amen to that! We were supposed to be in Alpine with the Thompsons this weekend- but life got in the way. We missed being with everyone down there. Here is a shout out to them- Love you All and hope to see you soon.
The kids built a tent to sit in while they listened to the prophets voice. (reference- King Benjamin) We had a tasty breakfast bar that everyone pitched in to help make, pictures to color, clay figures to make, a nap for me, dodge ball for everyone else, Steak and Tators, pina colada pie, a family soccer game, a romp through our home construction site and we washed all the action down with a little gin rummy before bed. Oh yea- we also read our scriptures! 3 Nephi 13 in fact. It has one of my favorite scriptures- verse 33. "But seek ye first the kingdom of God and his righteousness, and all these things shall be added unto you." Love it- put God first and He will take care of you. I believe it! Here are some other thoughts from conference I loved and needed.
Never let a problem to be solved become more important than a person to be loved.
There is no friendship more important than your clear conscience- Sister Elaine Dalton
We are not going to suffer any more than is for our good- Elder Cook
He's not asking us to die a martyrs death, He's asking us to live a disciples life.- Elder Ballardand my favorite:

Thanks for letting us all be part of your conference weekend. We missed you a lot but this was just like being there. Thanks again. Love, Mom
Doesn't get any better than that! Wish we could do this monthly! Love this weekend! It makes life oh so sweet and put everthing important in the forefront! Way to go kids on being Super Soccer Stars. Awesome!
So good! I have done that downtown Salt Lake puzzle before and it's a toughy!! Gracie is experiencing a puzzle craze lately and we have puzzles set up all over our entryway that we are not allowed to take apart until I insist before bedtime.
Heather, I should've just drove up there and spent conference with you!! The food looks and sounds SO tastey!! And while the kids did puzzles you and I could've gone window shopping, oh the fun we could've had!
