Spring Gerneral Conference

General Conference this year did not disappoint. I am grateful that every six months we get to be instructed and uplifted by the council and instruction directed from our Heavenly Father and delivered to us by our prophet, President Monson, and the other leaders of the church. I again feel a renewed since of responsibility to make sure that my home is place where my children will learn and grow in the knowledge of Jesus and Heavenly Father, a place of love and beauty and where the Spirit can dwell. I feel that starts with my personal habits and have recommitted to do more and to be better. I am grateful for the themes of provident living, of saving and preparing for the future, of sacrifice and attending the temple often and making your home a sanctuary from the world.

Every year we go to Ryan's parents house for the Sunday sessions. His parents always make "thanksgiving dinner"--a turkey, stuffing, potatoes, etc. It was delicious and always so great to be with the Loveless family. After such a fulfilling meal, we are all fighting the post turkey sleep in the afternoon session. This coupled with a newborn and a 2 year old made it more difficult to catch every talk. Thank goodness for DVR. I am able to rewatch conference as I do Ryan's ironing! Max helps Grandpa with lunch dishes

After Conference we took Luke over to meet his Great Grandma Johnsen. She was turning 89 the next day and we wanted to wish her a happy birthday and to get some pictures of her with Max and Luke. Luke gets loves from his Great Grandma J and Daddy

She always likes to spoil Max and sent him home with animal cookies and M&Ms. He even gave her a hug and kiss good-bye!

It was a great visit with Grandma J and we were so glad we stopped by.
