Conference Weekend

This weekend flew by, but it was great! It was so nice not to have to go to work! On Friday after I got done with school we went up to Logan for the weekend.

Jake's favorite part of the weekend was the opening of the duck hunt. Connar and him look forward to that day the whole year long! They're crazy about it! They day went well for them they shot 8 total and got drenched...the perfect weather for duck hunting!

Jake got a kick teaching Carter (who's only 2) all about hunting. Carter loved seeing the duck decoys and the ducks they brought home. Jake can't wait to have a hunting buddy. I'm really going to have to set an age limit on when our kids can go hunting with him!

Conference was amazing. It's so great to have a living prophet on this earth today to guide us! While the guys were at the priesthood session, the girls went out to eat at Firehouse Pizzaria and then played some fun games afterward.

On Sunday we took family pictures with Jake's family between sessions and then went and had a YUMMY ham dinner. After this we went to my mom's house in Centerville to see my family. We were celebrating my Grandma's birthday and my cousin Keith was up from Arizona. I was stoked to see him because I haven't seen him for 3 years!!! (Partly due to his time in Japan serving his mission). It was great to be able to catch up with him. We had turkey dinner here, which was DELICIOUS! We were fed way to good this weekend...it will probably show when we get on the scales!

It was disappointing to have to start the week and go back to work and school. Maybe some day somebody will invent something to make the weekends pass slower and the weeks faster!

How fun that you got to hang out with our family. Keith is such a stud. I too haven't seen him for years. You're lucky you got to catch up with him. And did you chop your hair off?? You look so cute.
