Confrence Weekend

This last weekend was conference weekend. For those unfamiliar with it, our church hold a general conference twice a year, October and April. Sessions are on TV if you live in Utah or have the Direct TV/Dish Network package with the BYU channel. For us it's also a time to be with family. My brother Ben flew in from San Diego and it was fun to hang out with him and his friends. The big Richards family tradition centers around this weekend-waffles with strawberries and wip-cream for breakfast before the Sunday AM session. You bet we were all over that! My friend Cori also came over Sunday afternoon and so did Kierstyn. Here are some pictures from the weekend.

First Saturday we stopped by Grandma and Grandpa Elmer's house to say hello before going to my parents. This was the shot of the mountains when we left.

Then snow!!! See it on my sleeve?

Poor Beethoven-I am not sure he was ready for the cold. I think he needs a scarf.

After the snow when the clouds started lifting. This is the view from my parent's back door. The mountains are amazing and still covered in clouds in this picture. I need to take one on a clear day so that you can see them better.

Ben on Sunday-he just woke up and I bet he was cold sitting in his shorts.

Brandon and Annie with the neighbor's cows Capitan and Poe. They are working on getting fat so that they can be made into stakes next spring. We help but feeing thing anything in the garden or apples off the tree. Annie loves animals-she gets all excited when she sees them. This time Capitan licked her-she thought it was funny.

This is where it gets fun. Annie thought it would be fun to play on the table. I have a video that shows this further.
