Conference Morning

As I was insisting on taking pictures of Colin's homemade breakfast, he said, "Jen, you really don't have to blog this." But there's just certain things I want to remember, you know? This is one of them. So, here's Colin's traditional Sunday breakfast (except today is Saturday) of homemade whole wheat pancakes, home made strawberry jam (fresh strawberries, fructose, and lemon juice blended up), and eggs. Pancakes just smell really homey and cozy, don't you think? Ty ate 4 or 5 pancakes, each time requesting "more!" with a mouthful of them.
Here Ty is reprimanding Shiloh by saying "no, no!" as she's standing up in her chair and getting ready to climb onto the table. It's a good thing he never does that!
All snuggled up for General Conference. Alas, if it had only stayed this cozy and peaceful throughout the whole 2 hour session! It lasted about 10 minutes, and then T, T, & S got a little antsy. So, for tomorrow's session, we're contemplating watching the morning session while they nap in the afternoon(good ol' technology that allows you to do that), and the afternoon session later tomorrow night, or for FHE Monday. Great talks today...the parts we heard, that is!
Notice the projector, speakers, computer, and a whole lot of wiring Colin rigged up so we could watch conference! I'm lucky to have such a smart husband who just knows how to do things like this! We thumb-tacked a white sheet up on the wall for our screen. Worked out great!

  1. We had a similar experience over here, with things starting out peaceful and then going to pot! I love conference weekend though it's fun just laying around as a family. The breakfast looks so yummy!
