What do you do during two hours of conference to keep your kids quiet? This is something we have been trying to figure out. This year I think we may have found a solution! Give your kids a pen and a leg (or arm) and turn them loose. It started with Cameron then Nate decided to join in. Then Lexi and before I knew it my kids had me sprawled out on the floor with each of them coloring on a leg or arm (babies were in bed)! They were so quiet and it kept them busy for the whole two hours. The extra bonus for me was I just HAD TO take a nice long bath that afternoon to wash it all off. It was great for me and the kids were pretty proud of their art work.....(OK so it was totally not planned and I'm not sure I would recommend it but it was fun anyway).
Nate has been loosing a few teeth as you can see. He looks like a little old grandpa without any teeth when his mouth is closed. He is feeling pretty rich right now and If he keep it up the tooth fairy will be broke!
We are officially OLD!!!! We have a child in young men's!!!! Tyler turned 12 on Sept 22. It is crazy to me that he is that old. Grandpa Hyde flew out to help ordain him and we appreciate it so much. It was great to have him here for a few days. My camera was still broken so I didn't get any pictures but It meant a lot to all of us. This year was a big milestone for Kevin as he was able to take a son to the Priesthood meeting with him. Tyler wasn't sure he was very excited about sitting for another 2 hours. I told him "They are having Ice cream after if that makes you feel any better!" He said "it does" and went with a happy attitude. This Sunday will be his first week passing the sacrament. He said he is not nervous but I am nervous for him so its all good. We are very proud of Tyler and the young man that he is becoming. We have seen some major growth in him this last year. He is such a great boy and has all the confidence in the world. We love you Ty.
So my camera shutter still wouldn't open after being dropped by babies but I riped it off which is good because I can at least take pictures but now my lens is dirty and wont take a great picture. oh well. For now it will do until I can get a new one.

We will have to try that out next time. Gabe would love it. You can say I was more nervous than Josh when he had to pass the sacrament for the first time too. It must be a mom thing. I know that David loves to be with Josh at Priesthood. Our YM's go to Dennys after. It's pretty late, but they have a good time. I'm so glad that Kevin parents could come for Tlyers special day. I'm feeling old myself. See you soon. YA
Love your cute blog!! And you're NOT old :)
I don't undestand,Our children just sit silently and listen for all of conference taking notes? Just kidding of course,although we are getting more and more that do that. Lego's or lincoln logs have been our solution for years. We are so proud of you Tyler, way to go. David got to bless the sacrament for the first time this month and boy does that make mom nervous. He did great though just as I am sure you did. Good job on loosing those teeth Nate. You look Like Kimmie now only yours werent knocked out by a stray ball and the trampoline! We love you all tons!
