conference on easter

Today we had General conference (a week late) at our chapel and oh how were we missing being able to watch it in the comfort of boyd and stephs family room (on the sheepskin rug). Today is also easter sunday and i dont know why we thought we could let the kids eat there chocolate from the easter bunny before church.....big mistake.
So we get to church the kids all looked cute and innocent in there easter clothes and then we sit down and conference begins and it was like someone put batteries in the kids and switched it to the "ON" button . Tyler thought it was time to run laps around the cultural hall and carpark, Alicia thought she would talk really loud and look under and all around our seats and those in front about her missing markers and then miss eliza just kept screaming EEEEEEEEEEEEE and crying every time hans went out chasing tyler.

About 15 mins into conference hans looks over to me and says
"CAN WE GO HOME NOW"....we both just laughed and somehow found the humor in our situation and crazy kids and after chasing tyler twice around the chapel and taking eliza out twice ..finally we did go home , we lasted about an hour and 20 mins and i can honestly say i did not hear one talk i didnt even really hear the opening prayer.
Oh the joys, i do love my kids and am glad they had a good easter, here are some pictures i took after we left it just shows the effect of kids and chocolate and us thinking they would sit through 2 hours of conference.
Happy easter everyone we love you.

Lorelei, as always your kids are darling.

Kids, your Easter eggs are sooo pretty. I bet the Easter Bunny was very impressed.

Hans was our worst Sacrament Meeting child. I remember chasing him around the chapel, we would go home totally void of the spirit after chasing kids around. Some times I feel bad that kids grow up so fast, but going to church is not one of those times.
