All the First Presidency and the Quorum of the Twelve Apostles.  This is just in the order of their speaking in General Conference (and then the three new apostles.)

We printed the pictures from lds.org but we'd love new official pictures.

Plus the Book of Mormon chart from Michael's challenge :)

One of the General Conference talks was by Devin G. Durrant, a former BYU basketball player and a member of the general Sunday School Presidency... it was about pondering the scriptures, even one verse at a time.  (check it out if you haven't heard it or read it)


These are the verses my family is "ponderizing" (a mix of memorizing and pondering) this week.

Everyone who can read is participating.  We actually chose them during Family Home Evening and will continue to choose new scriptures each week.




We also are making the switch from low Google Fiber and U-Verse TV to high Google Fiber and Google TV.

Figuring out finances and what's worth having.

Benjamin's 17th birthday plus the second day of General Conference.  Awesome all in one day!
He was born in Provo, Utah, on a Sunday of General Conference.  I got to the hospital, had Benjamin, and then we watched Conference together in the recovery room.  Good stuff right there.



Juliana and Ginny taking notes for General Conference in the same notebook.



Ginny just happy.



Christopher being handsome.


Benjamin has requested lasagna for his birthday as long as I can remember.... I think we have photographic evidence somewhere.


Chocolate cake, of course!



Ginny sitting in a big camp chair.  (The camp chairs were out for Conference.)



Emilie experimenting with makeup... she's pretending to be goth.  She really isn't!



Kids watching.



Benjamin.


Opening presents... Jules is watching him open a homemade card.


Juliana was telling him what the present was as he was opening it, and then to go color!



Swedish Fish!



Benjamin contemplating cake.


Happy 17th, Benjamin!

Yay! General Conference is here! We love this time when we can listen to our Prophet and Apostles give current instruction and guidance. We also are able to sustain the 3 new apostles to replace the three who have passed away since our last General Conference in April.


Ginny taking notes during Conference.


Ginny is very happy to be listening to Conference.  Or just happy.  She loves the music.


Juliana taking notes during Priesthood session.  I love the toes.



Juliana's picture of our prophet, President Thomas S. Monson.



A video of Jules describing her picture of President Monson and what she liked about Conference.
