End of September and General Conference

For our history lesson we learned about when sumo wrestling started in Japan, so we did some of our own sumo wrestling!
The Tucson botanical gardens..the zen garden



For General Conference this year the primary president asked the children to build a tent and have it face towards the conference just like they did in King Benjamin's time. The boys built a great tent and said it was hard to see on the floor so they created stadium seating inside. Later on we did conference bingo.  General Conference is always one of my favorite times!

Some of the cousins were together for Conference and made a lego version of the conference stand with all of the people on it. We don't have as many legos and only one person but Alden did a great job with what we have of making his own podium and speaker!

Sweet little Evan brightens up my day every day.  I love this rolly polly stage when he grabs his toes, rolls around, and is just super cute!


Going swimming! Benson is becoming more and more of a swimmer.. these were some of our last swim days because of it starting to cool down.


Benson has done really well this year in preschool. He is a young preschooler but has done well regardless. Here he is working on one of his worksheets and is wearing the necklace we made. (This must have been the day we learned about letter n.)

Train Museum. We've decided to try and do some sort of family activity in the Phoenix/ Mesa area every month when we go up to go to the temple.  This month we went to a train museum. The boys loved riding the train and the merry go round. They also liked looking at all of the model trains. Afterwards we went and let them get happy meals. (Something I don't think we have ever done before or if we have it's really rare.) The next day was Benson's birthday so we considered this a start to his birthday celebration!
