Conference Weekend with Sisters!

This weekend was lots of fun! Before we could start our weekend the boys had a dentist appointment on Thursday after school. No cavities and the boys got to pick prizes, so it was a big success. :) Weston picked this silly mustache. Love that kid.On Friday Davin and I went to Target and bought Halloween costumes. Davin is Spiderman. He is SO excited and wore his costume all weekend. I bought Weston a Venom (or black Spiderman) costume. The boys had a blast running around in their muscle suits playing Spiderman.
Friday my sisters starting trickling into town for General Conference weekend! Mel and Brad got here at about noon and brought us some lunch, then they went and checked into their hotel while I picked up Weston from school. Around 2:30 Jules and Rick pulled in. They had driven all the way from CA starting at 3am! I'm so glad that everyone got here safely.
The menfolk left around 3 for the BYU football game. They picked Ian up on their way. They hit some major game/Friday afternoon traffic and barely made it into their seats in time for kick-off. It was a great game and BYU scraped a win! Us girls took Weston to karate then got a Papa Murphy's pizza for dinner. We watched the game and baked coffee cake and stayed up way too late. It was awesome.

Saturday morning we watched the morning session of Conference with some donuts and chocolate milk (thanks Brad and Mel!). It was a good session. After it was over we all scrambled to get dressed and ready to go to the Conference Center for the afternoon session. We made it to the Conference Center with over half an hour to spare, but they had this humongous line outside to get in, so we didn't actually get to our seats until about 2 minutes before it started. It was hot and kind of frustrating standing in that stupid line, but the session was wonderful and we had really great seats on the main level.

We went to dinner at the Olive Garden downtown then left the boys at the Conference Center for the Priesthood session while us girls went home and put the kids to bed, nursed our sore feet (from all that walking in heels), and made souffle. When the boys got home we played Things. It was hilarious.
Sunday morning we watched Conference, ate souffle and coffee cake and fruit and just relaxed. It was a really nice day. I loved Conference and loved having my sisters at my house! I was very impressed with how well the kids did during Conference. Weston watched every single session. Davin would flit in and out, but played quietly and was really good. Talia napped during most of the sessions and was generally adorable.
That night we had taco salad for dinner before Mel and Brad had to leave to go home to Rexburg. I grilled Rick about how he and Julianna met and started dating. It was so fun to hear their cute story and see Jules so happy. After the kids went to bed we played Mormon Bridge. We all got to bed a little earlier since Jules and Rick left early and I went swimming at 6am.

It was definitely a blast to have my sisters and their guys around for Conference weekend! I loved it. Also I think we need a girls' trip sooner than 3 years from now. We missed you Joy and Mom!
