Conference Weekend

We had a great conference weekend! We got to spend a lot of time with both sides of our family. Rex and Edda came and stayed with us for Rex's mission reunion. Edda's parents had their kids, so it was kind of fun to hang out with just Rex and Edda.
Friday afternoon Phat Tony helped Rog put shelves in our coat closet. We don't have many coats and we decided we'd rather have more storage for kitchen stuff. They turned out GREAT!
We had calzones for dinner with Rex, Edda, KD, and Phat Tony. Then they all headed to mission reunions, so we had the Pughs over to play Lost Cities and dye eggs.
Saturday morning we had yummy french toast for breakfast (courtesy of Rex). Taylor, Martha, and Phat Tony came for that and then stayed to watch the morning session of conference while I did Taylor's taxes.
During priesthood session, Emily and I watched the Holiday and I made this spring craft. I'm pretty much in love with how it turned out.
Sunday morning we went to the Ririe Waffle Breakfast at my Grandpa Ririe's house. We stayed to watch the morning session and then headed to the Conference Center to watch the afternoon session.
It seemed like every other talk this conference was about the importance of being good parents. Seeing as how we are going to be parents soon (in like 2 months!), this really hit home with us. I can't wait to get the Conference Ensign, so I can really take everything in!
After conference we headed to the Ford's for Easter dinner complete with an Easter eggs hunt! This year it was just me and Rog. It was sad that Diana and Jason weren't there. (It's been the 4 of us the past few Easters.) But it's fun to think that next year Jared and Corby will take their places!

Wow, nice shelves Rog and Phat Tony. Great idea :)

So, who found more eggs? You or Roger

Corby better be an early walker if he wants any chances of getting any eggs. Maybe Grandma Lori can help him!
