We just had a wonderful weekend. We really enjoyed watching
General Conference as a family. Riley got the idea that the
Prophet was speaking to us and that was pretty neat, but every time a new speaker got up she said "it's the Prophet!" Well, it's a start.
Riley and I even planted flowers on Saturday.
This is the first time I've done it without my mom--hope I made her proud! I didn't buy enough potting soil and just a few too many flowers. So we had to keep going back to store to get more dirt and ended up putting the extra flowers by the trees and the soon-to-be tulips. We even added the easter eggs Riley painted--I didn't know what else to do with them.
Emma can sit up by herself! She topples over every now and again so we usually sit behind her or put a few pillows around her to cushion her fall, but she can stay sitting for minutes at a time without help. My baby's growing up!
She has even graduated beyond only baby cereals. She ate sweet potato this week and she liked it! I even made it. I never thought I'd be one to make my own baby food but I couldn't believe how simple it was: cook, puree, serve.
He also loves his girls, his sons-in-laws and his granddaughters.
Thanks Dad, for all the wonderful fun and memories you've given me and my family.
Grandpa is always so considerate to plan Riley-friendly activities, but after Emma was busy playing tour-guide and holding the map at the zoo, she was all tuckered out.
We had great meals together and I discovered another fabulous, decadent chocolate cake recipe for the birthday cake. So much fun! Thanks for making the trip! We still have the birthday banner up in our family room.
