Today we watched gerneral conference. I really liked President Monsons talk about enjoying things. It made me really think about taking time to enjoy my children, and not worry about if there's laundry every where or toys all over the place. Somtimes I feel like my house needs to be perfect, and I have to get all of my "jobs" done, and I don't take as much time as I should just enjoying this time in life. Wow that was a run on sentence! In between the two sessions my girls and I put up the rest of the halloween decorations, and the girls loved it. Kaylee always wants to know if halloween is going to be "The next day, or the next day, or the next day..." and so on. I finally had to tell her today to stop asking that because halloween won't be for a lot of days. We had a family dinner at my Mom and Dad's tonight in honor of my dad retiring from his 39 year old job at Hertz rent a car. We are all so excited for him. We all shared some feelings about our cute dad, and had tons of laughs telling stories about growing up with our dad. I really do have a great dad. He is such an example to me and to everyone around him. He is always so honest, hard working, and so much more. I am so grateful for my dad, and for my whole family. They are the BEST!!!

I too loved conference! Something about this time of year gets me in such great spirits.
P.S Your mom and dad are so darling!
I posted about the same talk! It was such a great one. Clayton also asks all the time when Halloween is! It's cute how excited they get - it really makes you, as a parent, excited for the holidays!
That was a great talk! One to keep in mind for a long time! I love your dad too, he's great!
I loved all the talks. They were great. You do have a great family..
I'm glad you reminded me of that talk. I made mental note to remember, but here I was scrambling around this morning making the sure the house was clean before we could leave. Why do we do this to ourselves?? Congrats to your dad, he and your mom are so cute!
Ha funny, great minds think a like! I posted about the same thing!! Your Dad! Good Ol Norm! ok all I have to say is when I think of your Dad I think of Fart and Smile!! Ha!
What a great dad you have?!! He is a terrific example of a hard worker.
You asked if I was going to the reunion. If it would have been held over the summer, I probably would have come out, but plane tickets are SO expensive around the holidays and I just can't justify that right now. Personally, I think having it in December isn't very smart, but I guess I can't complain since I didn't have to plan it. You going?
oh yeah, i love your family too! I love conference too, I love the feeling it brings to a home just having it on in the middle of the day with the doors open cause the weather is finally nice. i need to come see you to bring you Ky's party favor.
