"Parents must bring light and truth into their homes by one family prayer, one scripture study session, one family home evening, one book read aloud, one song, and one family meal at a time. They know that the influence of righteous, conscientious, persistent, daily parenting is among the most powerful and sustaining forces for good in the world. The health of any society, the happiness of its people, their prosperity, and their peace all find common roots in the teaching of children in the home." - Elder L. Tom Perry

General Conference Weekend

Here are some pics from our wonderful weekend of General Conference. It was so nice to be able to LISTEN to mostly every talk. It took a TON of preparation on my part so that the kids had snacks and activities for Saturday and Sunday, BUT it was totally worth it. Two talks really hit home for me: Establishing a Christ-Centered Home by Richard J. Maynes & The Eternal Blessings of Marriage by Richard G. Scott. Loved loved loved them! Just what I needed to hear at this time in my life.Isabelle actually sat through ALL of conference, both days! It was unbelievable- as long as she had something to do, she stayed right in front of the television. Hyrum probably hung around for about half ;)
-We made yummy turtle treats that we all devoured-


-Hyrum wasn't in a picture taking mood so this was the only one I got of him-




I love that Isa & Hyrum are excited about conference. They know that it is a time when our family stays home, spends all day together, & they get to do some fun activities while eating delish food. I love that they get excited to see President Monson, but mostly- I love that they are beginning to understand that when the Prophet speaks, it is a sacred moment. They showed such reverence and I was so proud of them!
