general conference traditions

this weekend we did our usual general conference tradition. we always watch it at home and i make fun finger foods for everyone. i try and get everything ready before the first session on Saturday and then we just kind of munch on everything Saturday and Sunday. it is nice because i don't have to cook a bunch and it is fun for the kids. they call it our general conference party!
(this year Saturday conference fell on kaels birthday. when he came into the kitchen he said, mom you made all this food for me and my birthday....you are so sweet!)
so here was our menu.
(i don't know why i take pictures of everything. i guess just for memory sake)
cheese and crackers
veggie tray and ranch dip
we also had stuff to make little mini sandwiches.
this is the only picture i got of the little smokies...because
these two were waiting for them and i barely got them in the bowl!!
wings...as usual. kael loves chicken, but this might be the last year i do them. we need to switch things up a bit!
garran sampling some food. he is so funny. i just love him.
after we had all nibbled on some food and were watching the second session of conference we found briea like this. i guess she was just to tired to even make it upstairs!
today's sessions were great and we are excited for tomorrow. hope everyone else has a nice weekend. it is chilly here.. in the 50's so we are definitely starting to feel like fall is in full swing!

Your food tradition on general conference is fun. Today I made muddy buddies and just might have to do that every conference.

Meghan, muddy buddies are made with Chex Cereal. You melt chocolate chips, peanut butter and margarine and then coat the cereal in it. Then you put it in a gallon ziplock bag and shake it up with powdered sugar. They are so good! You can find the recipe online or on some Chex boxes.

I love the saying "the best thing a father can do for his children is to love their mother". My husband does an amazing job of that. I am truly married to my best friend. We laugh often and try to see the best in every situation, or at least find the humor in it. We have four beautiful children. Cullan (7) Kael (6) Briea (3) and Ayla (2). We are currently living in Illinois while Garran attends Grad School. He is a talented print maker and is enjoying his time here. He has a website if you are interested. www.garrangillespie.com Right now we are living every day to the fullest and trying to have as much fun as possible along the way!!

This explains why I blog so much RIGHT?

“Your journal is your autobiography, so it should be kept carefully. You are unique, and there may be incidents in your experience that are more noble and praiseworthy in their way than those recorded in any other life. …
“What could you do better for your children and your children’s children than to record the story of your life, your triumphs over adversity, your recovery after a fall, your progress when all seemed black, your rejoicing when you had finally achieved?”
Elder Spencer W Kimball!

I need to read this every morning!

"It isn't as bad as you sometimes think it is. It all works out. Don't worry. I say that to myself every morning. It all works out in the end. Put your trust in God, and move forward with faith and confidence in the future. The Lord will not forsake us. He will not forsake us. If we will put our trust in Him, if we will pray to Him, if we will live worthy of His blessings, He will hear our prayers."

-President Gordon B. Hinckley
