Monday - Eric gave a Family Home Evening on obeying mommy and daddy... Great FHE, not too many results from it since we've struggled with obedience from both Tyler and Eric.
Tuesday - Tyler had an orthodontist appointment and he is not quite ready for his bottom retainer, but he is ready to use his top retainer only at night time, and he is really excited about that. Tyler finally had Pinewood Derby and he got fourth place with his car "The missile". The car turned out great and his award also included being the skinniest car. We also had the elder's quorum and we had some really creative cars there. We had tons of fun.
Thursday - Alison had violin and she got a new piece. Her teacher was very impressed with her progress this week. We had her do perfect five on the one hard piece she will be working on for a little while, and she did great.
Friday - I didn't go to work so I had a chance to get ready for conference. Eric had a birthday party to go to and he got home exhausted.
Saturday - What a busy day. We seem to pay closer attention to conference when we have our hands busy with something - So we painted all day long. Now our house no longer has the two shades of paint and primer on the walls. The walls still flash a little but we used what paint we had left over from construction time. We are planing to do some more painting in the future and texture some walls but not now. By the time I went to bed last night my feet hurt so bad, I could barely put them on the ground. I thought I was going to have a horrible night and wake up completely sore today. Thank goodness I was wrong.
Sunday - Troy fixed a fabulous breakfast. I canned Pinto beans (that was a trial run), We baked bread, fixed dinner and baked cookies - wow!!! Cooking day! I cleaned the kitchen more times than I really would have liked to but the day was productive.
We were very chocked to hear almost all the talks during conference on the subject of grief, my kids kept on asking me if the world was going to end soon and a lot of people were going to die. It was very interesting. We also got that we are supposed to save as much as we can because there is a lot of hard times coming ahead of us. I have been impressed to really get going with my food storage and I am doing all I can to heed this commandment. When time comes I want to be able to contribute with food storage instead of being unprepared. We also appreciated the goals we've made to go to the Temple more often, it has been a huge blessing and we have been much closer as a couple, and I attribute it to Temple attendance.
Hope all is well with all of our family and friends. We love you and keep you in our prayers always. Hope you've enjoyed Conference and talk to you all soon.
