For breakfast this morning I made my famous french toast.  The boys loved it!
Conference went something like this:

Trifle Not with Sacred Things

gospel of Jesus Christ?"

Come and See

a missionary church."

Until We Meet Again
by President Thomas S. Monson
"May we all ponder the truths we have heard,
and may they help us to become even more valiant disciples."

After conference was over James took Alex and Adam on a Razr ride.  Kyle said it was too cold for him.  James bundled up:
Ready to ride!
After the ride and calling of the elk the guys came home for dinner.  I cooked a roast all day in the crockpot and to go with it we had mashed potatoes, gravy, peas and homemade rolls.  It was a tasty meal.  We also played a game of Five Crowns.

 It was a very enjoyable weekend and we are glad Adam brought
Kyle.  We shared our testimonies with him and gave him a Book of Mormon plus he watched every session of conference.
