Conference weekend

I have to admit, along with a lot of other people, I wondered how conference would be without President Hinckley. I had seen for so many years, President Monson being a counselor that I wondered how it would be with him as the prophet. I didn't know much about him except for always enjoying his wonderful stories. But as I stood in the conference center during the solemn assembly, I could feel the Spirit so strong testifying that he is indeed the prophet now. It was wonderful. I enjoyed so many of the talks and look forward to reading them in the Ensign. Ben was able to attend all of the sessions on Saturday and the morning session on Sunday. I went to join him with the kids for the Sunday morning session and we thought we could watch it in the Joseph Memorial building. The kids had other ideas. As we parked to walk up to the building, both boys had been asleep. Alex woke up and proceeded to throw up all over Ben and I. We were in quite a shock. Luckily I had brought some clothes to change him in. We kind of thought it was a fluke and so we headed up to the JS building after having a picnic. It was quite crowded there but we were able to find seats in the chapel. Alex grew weary of sitting in the chapel and I took him out. He was running around by the windows and all of the sudden, blahh all over one of the couches. I proceeded to grab Ben and we went to the bathroom. We had to wheel Alex out to the car with just his diaper on and a blanket. We really wanted to go to Ben's granddad's to see all the family after conference and thought Alex could stay in the car. So we headed over there and we ended up sitting outside and things seemed okay. Jeremy had complained of a stomach ache on and off and then blahhh!!! All over the lawn at Granddad's. We then proceeded home with Alex throwing up a few more times in the car. He continued to be sick Monday today. Jeremy seemed to be fine Monday but I kept him home from school. Well then today he wakes up and runs into the bathroom and ends up having the yucky diarrhea all over the bathroom floor. Then he threw up a few hours later in the living room. So it's been a fun one!!!
Here is a picture I took before we headed down to Salt Lake, pre-throwing up!
