General Conference Weekend



This weekend was General conference. I love having Dish Network because we get to stay home as a family and watch it on television. It was wonderful, as it always is. We sustained Elder Eyring as our 2nd counselor in the first presidency and Elder Cook as the new apostle.

I also have to say that it was great to have a little rest from all the Sunday activities. We all slept in (or at least I did) and we made our traditional chips and seven layer dip. Very relaxing and enjoyable weekend and now I have a million things that I need to work on too. (:

Tonight I heard a funny conversation between my girls, I thought I would share. They were all in bed and I went up to put something away and heard them talking, so I had to stop and listen...

Shay, "Tera, will you please go get dad?"

Tera, "No Shay"

Shay, "Why Tera? I need him!"

Tera, "No, it's too scary."

Shay, "Our closet isn't scary Tera, and our house isn't creepy."

Tera, "It's not our house that's scary Shay, it's getting dad that is scary."

Shay, "Please Tera, will you go get him?"

Tera, "If you're not scared, then why don't you go get him?"

Shay, "Will you go with me Tera?"

Tera, "No Shay."

Shay, "But, I really, really need him Tera, please?"

At this point, I was laughing too hard to keep quiet anymore. I came downstairs and told Bri and he made his way up there to a daughter who acted like she would die if she didn't talk to her dad, but when he got there, couldn't think of what to say... figures. (:
Gotta love kids huh?

Just some pictures of Raegan after bath

What a happy child! That is a pretty funny conversation. We've been listening to most of conference at home on the internet. It's really nice to stay home! We did go to Sunday morning session and were surprised at how few cars there were in the parking lot. Isn't it great though how much easier it is getting to see and hear conference, even way out here in the "mission field" :)

I loved today too. I didn't get out of my pj's. It was great. It would've been better if Chris were here, but I'm glad you had your hubby with you. 7 layer dip? Yummy. Cute pictures. I'm glad you don't have a scary house.

Oh, she's so cute. She looks a lot like Shaylee in some of those. That is a cute conversation. I wonder why getting daddy is scary?? It was nice to have a church break. I like conference weekend.

I loved the conversation between the girls that is so cute! Whenever my kids are scared at night I try to remember how terrifying dark corners were to me when I was little. Great pictures!

I read the girls' conversation to Jeff. They crack me up. And Raegan is just so big. I'm dying that my camera is broken. It's like Sara's face and body change every day. When we finally see Raegan she will be walking!!

Shay's B-day, Maple syrup, and Cryosurgery

Image
This last week has been a little crazy for our family. Most of us have been sick (except Brian, Shay, and I) so it's been fun battling fevers and antibiotics, but also trying to do field trips, volunteering at school, doctors appointments, science projects, birthdays, basketball, ballet, iceskating etc. Whew!! I'm glad it's over. Although today is a catch up day on Tera and Shay's science projects, so I will let you know if we survive or not. Okay, a little recap on some of the things we did this last week. *I went on a really fun field trip with Ashtyn and her preschool. We went to Brookside Nature Center to see the Maple tree farm they have. I have to tell you, it was one of my favorite field trips I have ever been on. We got to see the sap from the Maple trees come out and into the buckets and we got to taste the real maple syrup. It was so yummy. It's going to be hard to go back to the fake stuff... We learned all about photosynthesis and it even stopped rainin...

Club Feet

Image
Brynley was born with club feet. She had to have casts on both legs up to her thighs for eight weeks. She had new casts put on every week and a half to two weeks. During this time she had surgery on her tendons so they will grow longer. She finally graduated to braces that she had to wear night and day for six weeks. Now, she is out of her braces during the day and just wears them at night until she is four or five years. Phew! It's been a long process, but we are just grateful that this is the only problem she has had to deal with. So, here are some pictures of her casts and braces, thought you might enjoy! First Casts Blessing day! Braces!

Baby Girl Number 4

Image
Yes, this is our fourth girl! I know, the profile isn't great, but I guess that's just about what you can get when you're still in the womb (: . I had to ask again to make sure she was really a girl, and yes she definitely is. Wednesday was my second ultrasound. The doctor wanted to make sure that she wasn't too big, considering that each of my girls have been a pound bigger (Tera 7 pounds 2 ounces, Shay 8 pounds 3 ounces, and Ashtyn 9 pounds 2 ounces). I didn't know this but I guess Ashtyn got her shoulder stuck coming out. That can be quite dangerous and could cause brain damage. I was a little nervous to find out how much this one would weigh, because the bigger the baby, the more likely there would be another shoulder caught in the birth canal. Well, it turns out right now that she weighs (or so they say) about 7 pounds 13 ounces. Which isn't too small considering I have two more weeks to go, but isn't enough for a c-section. I am quite relieved since I ...
