What a great weekend. I love General Conference. Here are a few of my favorites parts of the weekend aside from all the absolutely amazing talks.
Claire cuddling on the couch with me for about 45 minutes of the Saturday morning session quietly watching with me. We laid on the couch with a pillow and blanket cuddled up. Every once in a while she would look up at me and say things like "hims said Jesus....I know Jesus" or "temples? I love temples".
Saturday night during the dinner prayer Tayson said "please bless the missionaries around the world to find people to teach" and then he looked at me and said "that's what President Monson told us to pray for". Tayson also came in to listen to Pres. Monson speak and he said "his name is Thomas Monson not President". It cracked me up.
Then last night during Luke's personal prayers he said "please help us to do service for our cousins or strangers".
I love that my kids are actually getting tiny pieces out of conference. I love conference and how uplifting it is. I love that my kids know who Pres. Monson is and that they love him so much. I love the spirit that comes into my home during conference and the chance I have to easily watch all 4 sessions from the comfort of my home. When I was little we had to get all dressed up and go to the church and sit on hard chairs for 2 hours. Only 6 more months...

Lucky.
We were that family. All dressed up, sitting in a dark room wrangling kids on a pew. But, totally worth it.
BTW, had another dream with you in it! You were my track coach in high school. You were the same age as you are now and I was 16. You were MEAN. :) Funny dream, because I never ran track in highschool...
That is one reason I hope we never have to leave Utah. I love our conference traditions. It is always such a nice relaxing weekend.
