General Conference Weekend

I love General Conference weekend. Being able to stay home all weekend with the family watching church on TV is always the best. Of course it helps that we always have yummy treats, and not having to prepare a lesson is always a bonus too! Shawn made chocolate chip cookies with the kids. Ethan had a flag football game that Grandma and Papa came to cheer him on. Hayden and Libby tried out one of the fun experiments that has been floating around on pintrest. It was pretty cool, you just fill a tray with baking soda and then with a little dropper you squirt dyed vinegar onto the baking soda and it bubbles. Pretty cool. I made a pink bunny banner for a certain little girls birthday for etsy. And during the men's priesthood session I took Hayden and Libby to the park to meet up with some other Moms, other then a close call with a scorpion, it was soooo fun.

Happy Weekend!

Great to be Eight

Our ward had our great to be eight night, which is a preview for all the kids who are turning 8 this year. In our church when you turn 8 you get to be baptized, as well as start attending scouts for boys, and activity days for the girls. So its kind of a big exciting year for these little ones. In our ward we have 23 kids turning 8, which is a ton of kids, but its so fun to have a big group. They were all excited together. I put together these invitations, bows for the girls, and "extra" favors/handouts. Its such a fun night to be a part of. We played a "Getting to know 8" game, where all the kids got to answer questions about turning 8. The bishop ric counselor talked about baptism and showed the kids the font. We had the 2 CTR 7 classes sing a special song for their families. And we ended the night with cake and punch. So special!
