10.2

Sunday.  Another wonderful day of Conference.  Love General Conference!  I just soak in the words of wisdom.  I feel renewed and motivated.  This weekend has been extra special because Riley -on his own- has watched every session of conference!  Saturday morning while recording conference, we went to the kids soccer games.  Riley didn't want to go, but didn't say why.  I came back home to grab Brenna's goalie gloves and saw Riley intently watching conference.  At first I thought he had heard me open the garage and "assumed the position" :)  , that is the paranoid mother in me.  But later he told me a few things that I had missed and then was the first to turn on the TV for the afternoon session.  This continued all weekend and I am a happy mom!  I have always hoped to instill a love of General Conference in my children.  I remember before we had BYU channel on our TV, taking Riley to conference at the stake center as a baby and as a toddler.  Bringing snacks and books and toys hoping that I would be able to  "listen" to as much as I could with a baby in tow.  I remember thinking that it was important that I just GO, even if I didn't hear every word.  That maybe just by our example, our children would know how important it was to hear from our prophet.   ... Yes, it has been a good weekend!
