Conference Weekend

Conference weekend was fun and busy. Some of the kids had soccer games. Lynnlee got to do face painting with Hannah at a neighbor's triplets' birthday party Saturday morning.

When we were building our court we called it a racquetball court. That was so everyone would know what to picture. It wasn't because we are racquetball fanatics. Now that it's built we just call it the court. We have had racquetball racquets since we were newly weds but it has taken us this long to get them out of a box and use them in the court. I really don't know why because the kids had a lot of fun playing racquetball this weekend in the court. Kade had to get them down from this shelf in the garage.

Thanks to my mom we had Zupas for dinner. Betsy and Grace joined us Saturday night.

We had fun playing games that Grace brought. She slept over so we stayed up late for us and had the best night!

Making a bike...

It was so fun that they played Quelf again before conference Sunday morning.

I'm all about listening to conference while keeping your hands busy. Kade and Tag built this while listening.

I made a Jarvis family traditional conference weekend breakfast....breakfast pizza and orange julius.

Conference was amazing. Leading up to conference, I had been praying that I would be prepared for conference and the messages. I also prayed for the speakers. I felt like that was the best preparation. I really enjoyed all of the messages. The prophet's talk about finding rest was especially what I needed to hear. I feel so discouraged by the state of spirituality in the world today. Everyday I hear about more people losing their faith. It's disheartening. It's burdensome and heavy. I loved the prophet's words and feel comforted.
