We enjoyed listening to General Conference this weekend. It always seems so chaotic having the boys there in the room ‘listening’ while building legos, drawing, whatever else they are doing. But they continue to surprise me with how much they do pick up on. I’m grateful we have that opportunity, and I have to trust that that, along with the many other efforts large and small, will give them each a solid foundation in the gospel, and the desire to gain their own testimony and live accordingly.
Sunday was also Trent’s 9th birthday. Perfect timing to have some fun things to do during General Conference. Trent loves computer games and video games. He enjoys school and does well in all subjects. He loves to laugh — he’s always had the heartiest belly-laugh that is contagious. He’s great fun to have around.
Last Friday we also attended the re-scheduled Pinewood Derby for the Cub Scout Pack. Caleb has graduated from Cub Scouts, and only Trent made a car this year. Our cars are always middle-of-the-pack in speed, but the boys have a lot of fun designing and building them. Trent won one of the Best In Show awards this time around, so he was thrilled.
The Derby was rescheduled due to a late-spring snowstorm the previous week — the boys finally had a snow day.
We got more snow on Saturday, which means the first two weeks of soccer games have also been snowed out. Hopefully we get to play this coming Saturday. One last snowstorm is currently on the forecast for Sunday, though… Hope I get one more chance to get bundled up and shovel the driveway!
that last picture of you might be my favorite snow getup i’ve ever seen. i am inspired…
You do know you look hideous, right, Erkle?
Wow! How’d we miss out on all that snow? We got a storm, but nothing like yours!
I’d also like to know how I missed out on one of those display things Trent has for his PD car… I made one this year, too, and it definitely needs to be on display!
See you this week–Hooray!
