Conference Week

I know everyone would rather be hearing from Amy, but she still is not feeling all that great so, there you go. I have added a "Pregnant Amy-isms" section to the page, because she can be just down-right hilarious when she is pregnant and bitter--so enjoy.

Conference weekend was a busy weekend for us. Here is some of what happened.



We re-furnished our bedroom and put a guest room in the basement. Josh wanted to know what you did with a guest room, and I told him it was a place where people could come to stay when the visit Utah. His immediate suggestion was that we get on the phone and invite PJ and Mike Jones, his uncles who live out of state, to come and stay in the room. I started to explain that it might be awkward for PJ and Mike to sleep in the same bed, but then I thought how hilarious it would be, so I'm all for it. Consider it a standing invitation. In any event, Josh was very excited at the prospect of having PJ and Julie or Mike and Steph staying at the house. It did make me think how lucky the boys are to have such great uncles (and aunts) on both sides of the family. They are definitely fortunate.






Conference weekend was wet and rainy. Here is a picture of some of the group on Temple Square before the Priesthood session. Mike, Uncle Richard, Dallin, Grandpa and Greg. Josh spent most of Friday and Saturday building this Lego Ferrari he got for X-mas last year. Apparently it fell apart a couple of times while he was building it. He said, "I felt the tears coming up, but I told myself to calm down and just keep building."









On Sunday, we went to visit Oma and Opa.









Josh, Sadie, Cooper and Jake doing their best to be hilarious.
Opa promised the kids 1 cent for every rotten apple they picked up off the grass.





Josh clocked J in the head with a wood chip. You can see the scratches on his forehead. The next day J went to school and got choked by a girl at recess. He said he wanted to hit the girl, but remembered that I told him we never hit girls. What a good boy. It was alot of drama that included a visit to the principal's office, so the principal could determine the appropriate punishment for the girl. We had a whole family home evening lesson on the appropriate response for a situation where a girl is trying to strangle you. Good times. My opinion is that the girl has a crush on him. He is apparantly quite the ladies' man, and has several girl-friends, one of whom is a Red Sox fan. They have a friendly rivalry going.
