Made for the Weekend

Oh this weekend, this weekend was amazing. I love this weekend.

On Friday, I knew we had a busy weekend ahead of us (full of driving) so I took on the task of cleaning my car out. Ruby brings treasures with us everytime we go somewhere and they happen to take residency in the car, permanent residency. Well I evicted them, along with some empty sippy cups. My last step was to vacuum the car so we went to the carwash and I vacuumed out the car- I was almost done when I remembered that Ruby had decided to murder some goldfish crackers in her car seat the other day, and bury them in every crack and crevice she could find in her seat. I unbuckled her and vaccuumed it out and put her back in, hung up the vacuum and  got in the car and as we were driving away I hear this tiny little voice from the back seat -

"Thank you mom"

"Thank you for what Ruby?"

"thank you car seat, Ruby car seat MESSY, thank you mom, feel good mom" 

And that is where I about died laughing. She is such a funny kid, such a funny, CLEAN kid- except for the goldfish crown scene that is. 

That night we went to Red Lobster with Reese's family and  Ruby was infatuated with the lobsters in the tank- so the waitress pulled one out for her to see. I thought she would like it, I was wrong. The waitress pulled it out and it put its claws in the air and Ruby let out a shriek. And then ran to papa for cover. And then proceeded to tell us "Lopper scare me, Lopper scare me" 

Seriously- she is saying the funniest things- I love it, and I love the way she says lobster. 

We got to go to Utah for conference. We went to the aquarium, did some shopping. And ate some Cheesecake Factory.

 Then we went to the morning session of conference and were spiritual fed and got to hear the sweet testimony of our dear Prophet, Thomas S. Monson,

This was my second time attending conference  and the first time with Reese- it was such a wonderfully feeling attending it with my eternal companion. 

I feel so motivated to try better, to be better! 

Spending the weekend as a family was something we needed! Reese works most Saturdays so it was nice to have him with us! And Ruby was of course stuck to him like glue, and she was spoiled as always! 

I am so grateful for my eternal family, and for the words from our Prophet and apostles.
