I am really loving General Conference morning on the East Coast. We lounge around till NOON when it comes live on LDS.org. Of course I do have Kennon begging me every 10 minutes to get off the computer, take my jammies off and take her to the church to watch. Our ward does a pre-breakfast and she's social and always wants to go. But as usual she can't coax any of us out of our PJ's and into the car. Much better to watch on the couch and have Marcus nap in his bed.

We had such a good Saturday yesterday. BEST ever for Conference Weekend. I planned Marcus's naps for each session. Caroline did this and that but was quiet, and all three of our older girls sat on the couch with a notebooks for the entire 4 hours!

Savannah was practicing her artwork she admitted but the other two took notes on all the talks. Kennon is planning a quiz for family night so she even has what color of ties the general authorities wore listed. It really was a miracle AND it's all a true story.

This is what happens if you make it a tradition every year. Eventually they start to join in. Of course I made the traditional cinnamon rolls and had treats and that helps to sit around and rot your teeth and stuff your gut all day.

Here are some pictures taken over the last couple weeks when we have been lucky enough to have sunshine and warm temps all at the same time.
The only time Marcus isn't screaming for something is when he is outside. He's all boy now it's spring. Or whatever you call this. It was snowing yesterday and as you can see we all wear jackets.
My mom and I at our park.
Grandpa took the kids out every day to play.
Kennon took all the pictures. Next time I go on a cruise I am bringing her with me.
