General Conference

So many good talks in General Conference again. Some of us took notes. Some of the boys played "Conference Squares." Jet ate M&Ms.

We had our traditional nachos. When did that become a tradition? It used to be only for the New Year.

I had some hot chocolate. I can't remember the reason why but I found a picture of me with my Provo mug so there must be a reason why. Oh well. Your guess is as good as mine.

Last year, Jr. Jr. and I got to go hiking before the first Saturday session. This year, Jeremy took Lucky out fishing at Deer Creek Reservoir. They didn't catch anything but had good bonding time.

General Conference October 2022.

Happy Birthday, Jr.

We recently celebrated Jr.'s birthday.  We got the cake and ice cream all ready and then realized we didn't have a box of candles.  Sigh.  I guess that should be part of the normal preparation for someone's birthday- make sure there are enough candles.
We did manage to scrounge up enough candles... we got a little creative and a few days later, I bought three boxes of 24-count candles so we're set for a while.  Yay.

Jr. enjoyed his cake and ice cream as well as his presents.  He was thrilled when he got a "certificate" from Dad inviting him to go fishing.  He's been wanting to go fishing for a while since they learned about fishing in scouts.

Jr. and Dad went fishing the Saturday after his birthday and had a great time together.  Patience paid off and Jr. did catch a fish- a blue gill.  Congrats, Jr.

Ah, bonding time with Dad.  How great is that?
