Hair Cuts

I cut Kate's hair last week. It is now shoulder length and all one length. She really likes it and it looks so cute. She sometimes wears her hair with a headband. So cute!

I cut my hair short. I like it, the kids are getting adjusted to it.

Johannah also got a hair cut yesterday. It's a little longer than shoulder length. It is layered and cute.

I will post photos after finals. ; - /

Conference Weekend

I always look forward to General Conference. I love hearing the messages and seeing the leaders speak. Unfortunately, not all of my children feel the same. I spend time beforehand preparing snacks and quiet activities for the younger children in hopes of a less disruptive session. This year I bought some hat looms and yarn. We begin the Saturday morning session with a Pop Tart breakfast. This was exciting we have never before had pop tarts for breakfast. Then everyone started a hat and quietly worked on the hat for much of the time. Next I took out the bingo cards and skittles. During the afternoon sessions we had snack food: crackers & dip, jerky, cheese ball and jelly bellies.

Tyra and Caleb came over on Saturday. Nathan and Whitney came on Saturday and Sunday. After the sessions on Sunday we had a turkey dinner. Nate invited over more friends to share dinner and play Swashbuckled (Fun pirate game). It's always nice to have family and friends around.

The messages were inspiring. I can't wait until they come out in print so I can study them. Yesterday, I spent the whole class time reviewing General Conference with the students. I really enjoyed their insight.
