Jeff and Michelle (and Tate and Taylee) joined us for our relaxing weekend. We had a wonderful time together.
I really tried to make preparations and activities to keep Emma engaged and occupied during General Conference. I found all of the ideas on Pinterest. When a topic was addressed she received a piece of candy from the associated jar. And when a specific apostle spoke, she found his picture and on the back was an activity that could keep her occupied during the talk. Some ideas worked, some didn't. You live and learn, right? She got tired of the candy, except for the "fruit by the foot" which was associated with temples, and which she constantly asked, "have they talked about temples yet"? She loved most of the activities on the back of apostles, but she still got a little antsy and did not sit still and listen like a reverent child for all 4 sessions. Haha. I hope it helped her listen a bit better though... and I will tweak and re-tweak for the next General Conference.
Sweet baby Taylee in Emma's jacket. Emma was thrilled to share her jacket so that Taylee could stay warm. I just love her chubby little cheeks.
Tate and Grant (one month apart in age) started chasing each other down the cabin driveway and were getting awfully close to the Highway 260. YIKES! Michelle sacrificed herself and went sprinting away to catch them. Silly, active, crazy boys!!
We thoroughly enjoyed hearing from the Prophet and Apostles and enjoying the cool weather!! We had fires in the fireplace every night and were able to bundle up in coats and jackets at night. Yeah for family that is so fun to have around. Emma and Grant just LOVED spending time with Tate and Taylee. Grant would bend over (hands on knees) and say in a very high pitched voice "hi baby"! And Emma loved just sitting by her and touching her cute cheeks and smiling.
