General Conference Weekend = Fun!

Usually our conference weekend is spent up at my parents house because they actually pay for cable (not yet for us). Now that we are in Boise, we get to enjoy the perk of it being played on, not only one but two local stations...which our rabbit ear antenna picks up. Our cousins from Washington stopped by on their way to Utah and watched Saturday sessions with us. We loved the company! (though, we did miss Posh & Grandma)

Breakfast with the cousins...Seth & Michelle's boys. Here's: Lucy, Wyatt, Hyrum, Sterling, and Carson. They all wanted cereal, which made the cooks life easy :)I printed out conference packets for each of them and they had a lot of fun doing each page together. But the all time hit was the BINGO with skittles and m&m's (thanks for the candy aunt Michelle!) I had to go that night to buy more for Lucy and Carson to do on Sunday...fun, fun.Here they are right before goodbye's. Sterling, Hyrum, Carson, Lucy, and Wyatt. Look how Lucy looks at Wyatt, she loves him and secretly (she tells me) she's going to marry him. SSHHH! Don't tell anyone. I think it's cute...she will learn soon enough that you don't marry your cousins, until then...it's a match :) We all had so much fun, it was great to see them again!
Not pictured: The two baby cousins, our Graham-9 months and their Lance-7.5 months...they had just as much fun, just didn't capture it :)

Looks like a house full! I will have to remember the M&M Bingo next time, that might actually work for my two! Great idea!

We used the Bingo sheets for Dylan too. It seemed to help him pay attention and he enjoyed the treats, so it was a win-win situation. Glad you guys enjoyed your weekend with family.

We watch conference with Matt's family. This year there were 14 little ones running around! I think the packets are a huge help in getting the kids to somewhat pay attention. I will have to remember the candy bingo. That would be a hit for sure.
