Conference Weekend!

It's been a great week in the Mason house hold. We were blessed numerously... goes to show that paying your tithing and fast offering helps and blesses a lot. We were thinking about it today we have not had to make dinner or any meals all week. We have been having meals brought in since we got home from the hospital and Friday was our last one. So every other night until Friday we had meals from wonderful members of our ward, and than we ate the left overs in between. Than to top if off Saturday Dave's mom invited us over after Conference for a wonderful dinner and than my mom had us over tonight (Sunday) for dinner. Greatly blessed. And than to top it off people keep giving us baby gifts... I am totally ok with that because with Sami sprouting up in height lately it will help not having to buy clothes for Daphne as well, so thank you to everyone who has been blessing us this past week.

Well at grandma Barb's we went out to check out her pumpkins. She had been getting pictures of most of her grandkids in front of the pumpkin and so Sami was in line for her picture with the pumpkin. It was funny watching her expressions in these pictures.

ok....

Finally a pic with the pumpkin...

Grandma telling us about this huge out of control plant behind us. It's a version of rhubarb but forget the name I had never heard of it before. It is as tall as Sami. Here I am with my girls... it was sprinkling so Daphne was covered up... I am fearing sickness for her and so I take every precaution... watch she'll still get sick. But I love the smile on Sami's face... priceless.

Barb made us this yummy cork screw noodle soup with northern white beans, bouillon cube broth, tomatoes, and spinach bits. It was so good topped with parmesan, i got the recipe and it is already on my list to make with in the next week. Perfect for the cold rainy day we had on Saturday. It was a great weekend. Dave was home, chaos was had, front room a disaster area, but conference all 4 sessions were watched from the comfort of our couch... via internet we hooked up our lap top to the TV... it was perfect. I can't wait to get the Ensign to read the talks all over again... such an uplifting weekend. So relaxing exactly what the doctor ordered. I love spending time with our little family... it will take some time getting used to, all the mouths to feed and sleep to be had but we will get it taken control of soon and pick up and run with it. We are planning Christmas gifts all ready.. well Dave more than me... it will happen I am not worried. He keeps telling me it is 3 months away... I got 2 holidays before Christmas prep in the house begins so not stressing.

Hope you enjoyed and stay tuned for more pics!
