A "General" Glance at Conference Weekend

WARNING: Due to me trying to blog a bunch of our weekend and because I am loony, I completely posted this post all backwards. If you would like to read it in the correct order, start at the bottom of this post and work your way up!!
What a great weekend! Thanks Everyone for all the Fun!

We ALL enjoyed a great all you can eat Brunch!! About a week ago, we bought mom a present for her Birthday (before her accident and before she started referring to herself as Frankenstein!) We found the cutest Frankenstein potted plant. My kids loved the googly eyes and the cute facial expressions it had. We wondered if we should give mom the gifts due to her accident. But, we decided that she has a great sense of humor and it would be fun. So at Brunch we gave her the gift! She loved it and we were all having fun with the silly pot. On the way out of the hotel, Frankenstein had an accident. The brand new gift bag he was riding it, broke apart and he shattered on the floor. Poor Frankenstein. Maybe we can find another one!
Happy Birthday Mom!








We watched, listened, and some attended conference and we celebrated Mom's Birthday at Little America for Brunch!
Mom was feeling pretty good, or at least she pretended well, so we visited a few craft stores and the girls all painted a cute witch boot while the boys went to the church for the priesthood session.

Grandpa & Grandma Merrill (she doesn't let much slow her down ... not even the table saw), Chad and Jessica also came for Conference! Grandma and Grandpa brought the kids a Witch Cauldron filled with spooky Halloween treats. The kids devoured the candy so we filled the cauldron with Kam.

Thanks for the Halloween Treats!


Grandpa and Grandma brought Taylee (and Tydon) a fun new scrap booking toy... Thank You! It is called Cuttle Kids (check your local Roberts Store). It is a fun little machine that the kids can use to cut out shapes. My kids had a blast!

Grandpa and Grandma Holverson came for Conference weekend.

Sounds (and looks) like a fun weekend. Also looks like frankenstein was cursed! Your mom is so funny, so glad she's okay, and only a little frankenstein-y.

I had the most Frankish of a great time. I am exhausted today, but my birthday was the best because I was with my Family. Thanks so much.
