 And I love watching her with Doug.  He just absolutely ADORES her!

General Conference Weekend Fall 2014


What we learned from General Conference this weekend:
1. Douglass McArthur- "preparing our children to serve by giving them responsibility and prayerfully seeking inspiration how to do that"
2. Amber- "the importance of personal revelation (seeking what God would want me to do), God speaks through His prophets & apostles, to use my creative talents in my mothering, and to be more like Christ"
3. Jax- "to read the scriptures"
4. Tal- "to listen to the Holy Ghost"
5. Colt- "to be more obedient"
6. Ezralee- LOVEs Elder Eyring...squealed in delight watching him!
What did you learn? ‪#‎LDSconf‬

That's what I posted in Facebook yesterday.  So in between sessions yesterday, we went for a walk because it was a beautiful sunny day (in the 70's).  I gave each of the boys their little clipboard and had them write a question they could ask their friends in the neighborhood.  

Jax chose: What did you learn from conference?
Talon: If you were to meet the prophet, what would you say?
Colton:  Do you follow the prophet?

There are several members in our neighborhood with young children, so they knocked on many of their friends doors and asked.  For as many answers as they wrote down, was how many toppings they could put on their ice cream sunday when we returned home.  Jax and Tal tied with 26 and Colt had 20.  It was fun way to get some exercise and reinforce what they were learning in conference.
