General Conference weekend used to be more relaxing before we had the kiddos. DeA used to make cinnamon rolls and other goodies and I could fall asleep during each session. I tried to let DeA have some of that relaxation back by having the kids help me clean up the yard. Ryker thought the plan was to trample all the cover.
Rock loved using the 'big scissors' to trim back the trees and bushes.
Jens has learned to be bossy from her aunts and kept telling Ryker to 'top'.
Eventually she left the boys outside and came in to cuddle with mommy with the shirt that she picked out for herself.
To keep the kids outside longer we had soccer and baseball practice. Rock is really wearing a sweater with rubber boots and Batman pants. And Ryker is wearing cowboy boots with a Woody shirt and shorts. Quite the slaves to fashion.
At some point on Sunday someone was tired of being stuck up in the house with 'the little monsters'. While the monsters and I (I assume I wasn't included with the monsters) walked to Papa Dale and Mama Rae's house while that someone watched the end of conference with her eyes closed.
Papa Dale caught wind of our hike and came to meet us in style.
Mama Rae was home from Utah and had brought Jensley a Minnie Mouse dress for her birthday.
It even came with a purse and accessories. She was pretty exited.
She is a cute little Minnie.
She wore the dress the whole next day, even when she went to the park as a Power Ranger.
They had a lot of fun with Huddy, until Ryker let go of the swing during an underdoggy.
They played really hard in the nice weather and burned out about dinnertime. But you'd never know it from that happy face.
These are the great memories you will have, thanks to the busy kids.
