"Be thou a beaver?"

This past weekend was Conference! We love Conference at our house and we try to hype the kids up for a few weeks, so we don't have too many meltdowns. We try to come up with lots of activities and distractions so we can watch as much as possible.



We even go so far as to bring the kids mattress into the front room.



This time, like other times, we had Conference Bingo for the kids and Ty took this very seriously.


At the beginning, the kids were very excited and listened to every word, hoping they could put an M&M on the square. I think it was Elder Perry who quoted the scripture, "Be thou a believer" and Ty started looking at his paper, "Beaver? Do you have a beaver? I don't have a beaver?"


We loved it and just said we didn't think there was a beaver square and to keep listening.


We loved Conference and love that our kids are starting to appreciate it too!
