In between conference sessions this morning, I took Kai up to Serra Cross Park so he could get some wiggles out. Yesterday was all gloom and rain. Today was warm sun and blue skies.

A little hesitant of the ginormous cross.

Discovering some trails.

The view. Even better in person.

Dax, fresh out of a bath and snuggled in his hooded-towel; I can’t think of many things sweeter than this.

And the General Conference messages delivered last weekend and this weekend? Inspiring and life-changing as always (Pres. Monson’s talk this morning and Pres. Uchtdorf’s talk last Saturday are among my favorites). But I feel more part of a collective whole. That I’m not alone in having a perpetually untidy home cluttered with toys everywhere. Or piles and piles of laundry to fold. Or discouragement that I can’t keep up. And everyone has their trials, but the best way to overcome yours is to be in the service of others.

I’m really looking forward to some quiet time from the boys to re-listen to the talks. TGFI*, right?

*TGFI = thank goodness for internet. This needs to go into the dictionary, for sure. And say that Jenn Kirk came up with it. And pay me royalties.

And what is General Conference? Read here and here.

I hear it can get wild. You know, those crazy moms and all…

Details here.

1. Farmer’s Market
Two boys. Sans baby carrier. Sans stroller. I shopped as quickly as I could and got a nice bicep workout from carrying Dax. Ha, I can do it, just like her. But would I do it again? Aw helz to the naw.

2. Playing at the beach with Amy and Noah
We’ve been missing you guys. So happy Kristen convinced you to drive all the way from Tehachapi. Last minute, too!

3. Crazy hair
I was a little startled by my reflection in the mirror after we got back home from the beach. My hair was looking very much like Mahana’s, before her upgrade to eight cow status. Bummer I had spent so much time getting it stick-straight that morning.

DIY sea-sprayed locks.
And this is a ‘good’ angle.

4. Chocolate-covered strawberries for dessert.

5. Cuddling with Kai and having him stroke my face and hair before he went to bed.
