I could blame my incessant need to play Candy Crush on not being able to blog last night...but that would just be wrong....but really...I was super tired, I played Candy Crush with every intention of blogging and then BOOM! It is almost midnight! That game is a time sucker! It is super fun and I enjoy watching other people make it to various levels. There is even a part where it asks me to give people more lives. I have an Aunt Lisa who passed away this past summer. She was a big fan of Candy Crush and it is always asking me to give her extra lives still....makes me smile every time and I totally DO give her more lives! Maybe she found a way to play in Heaven!
This weekend was General Conference for our church and it was just lovely! Other than the fact that we have two loud kiddos and actually only got ONE whole session in and have bits and pieces of the other sessions to watch this next week, it was a good weekend!
The boys had soccer games and one was a happy moment and the other I would just like to forget ever happened lol. Joel played so well and was so focused! He scored a goal by kicking the ball down the middle of the field and it went ALL the way into the goal! We were all so proud and he did a great "goal dance." It was really cute and quite the happy moment for us all!
We came home and had a family meal and watched some more conference. AND we all got to take a nap so that was great as well!
After dinner, Joel helped me prepare our special General Conference Cinnamon Rolls and he was such a great help as these rolls take lots of time and everything kind of has to happen all at once! So I am thankful I had his help putting in the eggs, measuring out things, helping me stir....it was great! All the while we were posting on Facebook what we were doing. I actually had an extra pan of rolls so I posted if someone wanted them to let me know. My friend Mari spoke up and won the pan!
While the dough to the rolls were rising, David watched the Priesthood Session of General Conference downstairs (the first time they are broadcasting it over the television and I am SO thankful that they are doing that now!) the boys and I headed upstairs to our movie room and watched a Harry Potter movie on our big screen! It was SO much fun eating popcorn, candy, and feeling like we were in a movie theater room! I can see us enjoying movies in there for years to come!
Sunday- we slept in and had a marvelous sleep this morning because conference doesn't start until 11 AM here in Texas! So we got up, I threw the rolls in the oven and began to make the icing. When they came out, I smothered gooey icing all over my friend Mari's rolls and headed out the door! They were delivered nice and hot to her and when I came home, David was making the eggs and our rolls were covered in icing. It was a GREAT morning of cinnamon rolls, eggs, milk, and The Spoken Word! The Sunday morning session was the one we actually got to watch all the way through and it was so nice! There were many great talks given and some were really inspiring!
After the morning session, we all headed upstairs to take a nap (again, didn't get to bed until after midnight last night and the boys went to bed pretty late as well!).
The nap was good and when we woke up, we watched part of the Saturday afternoon session and got ready for dinner. So we still have parts of a lot of other sessions to watch, but I am thankful for what we did get to watch...it is just hard with two crazy boys running around but we did our best!
We had a potato bar for dinner and it was great! I love that we have sat down together almost every night this past week at our dinner table and enjoyed talking and laughing. That has been so much fun and I can't wait to do it again this week! I hope everyone else had a great weekend and I am excited for the coming week and coming happy moments! Our good friends from California have come out for a visit to their children, grandchildren, and great grandchildren, and they are coming to our home tomorrow for a visit...really looking forward to seeing them all!
