Day By Day: October 2009

So for General Conference my family usually goes to our cabin. We haven't been for awhile due to weather so I was for sure not going to miss it this year. Me and the kids headed up on Thursday afternoon. I took Samm and Parker with me too to give my sister a break for a few days since she's soooo close to having her baby (yay!) When we got there, my sister Michelle and her family were there along with my little sister Jessica. We had so much fun playing games and eating junk! I wanted to stay up all night playing but my poor sisters couldn't hack it. I think we went to bed around 9:30 that first night. The next day we played even more and my brother Micah and his kids, his girlfriend Toni, and her sister Adrian along with her little girl joined in the fun. Then a little later on, my Hubby showed up with my little brother Joel and his friend Troy. That night we didn't go to bed until like 2 AM! Partly because we were waiting up for Jessica's husband to join us. He didn't roll in until around 1:30. We were so tired the next day but were still able to enjoy conference :) . The boys headed off to Priesthood that night and returned with the traditional treat, ice-cream! We stayed up until almost 3 that night. We enjoyed another day of uplifting talks on Sunday and after the final session, we stayed for dinner and played a couple more games of Scum. By the time we were done, we headed out to start packing everything in the trucks and found that there was like 6 inches of snow on the ground and it was still coming down! We quickly threw everything in and took off. We got home around 10:30PM. Awesome weekend! I love going to the cabin!

SO fun taking a bath at the cabin!

Brandon, Micah, Joel, and Troy played airsoft before the Priesthood session

Pretty sneaky....

Spoons was one of the favorite games among the kids....ok, we played it for awhile too :)

Parker played so hard the WHOLE time! And I thought he was too old for naps. This is in the middle of the afternoon!

Tegers going in for the kiss!

Sammy not wanting her picture taken haha! She broke her finger a couple weeks ago

Here's a bunch of the kids looking out the window trying to see the badger. There was rumor of one living on our property so this is as close as they were allowed to get to searching for him :)

Why does conference always put them to sleep?

And here's Tegan not wanting her picture taken....

Jordan's always up for a cheeser though!

We have a big family room downstairs where all the kids slept....this is also where they spent most of their time wrestling, watching movies, and playing games
