April Conference

 We went up to the ranch for Conference weekend a couple of weeks ago. The weather was really nice and we had a great time!

Saturday afternoon some of our friends came up for a ride. Even Addison and I went! The kids love the Razor and we ride as much as we can.


 I sent the kids on a treaure hunt on Sunday morning before Conference started. Wes told them they were collecting items to make troll soup. With Hallie as their leader, and armed with walky talky's they quickly found everything on their list. Then in the afternoon Hallie and Jaxson spent the whole two hours of Conference making troll soup. Jaxson was so into it.


Wes finally convinced Jaxson to try the soup



 And this was his reaction
Some of the troll delicacies they made for me
 These two got so much sun over the weekend, but it was so nice to be outside and enjoy the weather!


We played this game with the kids during conference- basically, when they heard one of the key words, they got to put a sticker up by the picture and get an m&m. This worked really well, it held Hallie's attention the whole time we watched. Kamryn and Jaxson didn't like it as much, but they paid attention better than normal at least. (And the picture was taken after one session of Conference, with Hallie  missing at least half/60% of the words. Who says we aren't Christian? Just look at the picture of Christ!)
