We've had a great weekened!

Friday
David's new hair do until we cut it again(hopefully soon!)

Albertsons had another cereal sale, this time Post brand, and Scott just couldn't resist. He loves to buy things in "bulk". The last sale lasted us about 9 months so...Sydney has started pointing that one finger and loves it when I touch it with my own. It's really cute. Saturday

I seem to take a lot of these and they're the only ones I'm in. oh well, that's what you get for liking to be behind the camera. This was during Saturday's General Conference.
We went to the park afterwards. Scott still likes to sit David on his lap even though he can do it himself. I think it's because then Scott can swing at the same time rather than just push.And that night...duh duh duh DUH!....I watched Twilight for the first time! I know some of you were kinda freaking out that I hadn't seen it yet. =) And hey, I liked it. It's not the most amazing movie ever but I did enjoy it and would like to see it again soon. I had such low expectations that I was able to overlook the various cheesy parts. I actually thought right after that I liked the movie better than the book because Bella wasn't so dang annoying. Sorry for you die hard fans out there, but I just couldn't stand her whininess, clumsiness, and obsessiveness. So yeah, with her thoughts left out I thought she was much more enjoyable. Thank you Hilary for watching it with me! And also for helping out with the kids... Sunday
We went to my Brother and Sister-in-Law's house to listen to Conference. I love General Conference. I love hearing what the Prophet of God and his apostles and other leaders have to teach us. Every time I come away extremely uplifted and happy, ready to face the various challenges of life. I feel so blessed. And also grateful for loving family members whom we love to spend time with. We had such a good time. It started with an awesome brunch and it seemed we had almost every kind of breakfast food there is.

Sydney hanging out on her Daddy's lap for a little while as we listened. She actually wasn't feeling very well in her tummy poor girl.


After both sessions were over Rick, Heidi, their youngest- Naomi, and David and I went for a walk. They live on a quieter road with fields on one side and a river on the other so we had a great time walking and talking and throwing rocks in the river(David!). He couldn't get enough of it. It's fun to watch him try new things all the time. He's never been able to do it before. He was actually kinda funny because he seemed like he just wanted to get as many rocks into the water as he could in the shortest period of time. He didn't even look to see them hit the water. He just looked down at the pile of rocks and pelted them into the water one after the other. Rather like a machine gun. He's got quite an arm! This was the one split second where he actually looked up and it was after much coaxing on my and Aunt Heidi's part.David on his Uncle Ricks shoulders. He also got a piggy back ride from Aunt Heidi. He still hasn't quite figured out that he needs to hold on so it's a little harder to do, but they managed.On the way back to their house. We, or at least I, hadn't realised how long we'd been gone. 2 hours!? It didn't seem like that long. Everyone we left behind were wondering what we were doing and when we'd be back. It was so great to get out like that in the sun! Almost there! The kids are a little tired now but still good troopers! David kept trying to run over to the river to throw more rocks in so I had to watch him carefully.
Monday

Today was beautiful as well so we walked outside. Hallelujah! Sydney tried the swing(her second time) and she kept smiling and talking. She really loved it a lot.

I love conference weekend, and especially if you can spend it with family. I totally remember that big cereal sale last year. That is such a deal, and I can't believe it lasted that long...AWESOME! Looking at your pictures makes me miss you guys!
