Conference isn't complete without a Tea Party

Evan's brother and his family came to visit a few weeks ago. They live in Michigan and have kids the same ages as most of their cousins, including a 17 month old who loved to play with P. It is so fun to be on the parent side of things and to watch my child interact with others, especially family. Being the big kid he is, he is the same size as most 2 yr. olds, and thinks he's capable of the same physical abilities, but he's not. My heart swelled time after time, watching his mind work as he started learning to interact with others his same age. He would watch with avid interest every move they made, and try ever so timidly to engage in the activity. Sure they were pushing toy bikes around, but it was so fun for them. I really enjoyed their visit, and getting to know Misty more. Misty and Jacob

Saturday, between the afternoon session and priesthood, our husbands watched the kids so the girls could go out. We ate at souper salad, and talked. What an awesome family I married into! There was nothing in the conversation that was spectacular, or even important, just sisters being together. I loved it! I have amazing sisters-in-law. I looked around at them during our lunch and felt so lucky to know them all. Thanks gals for a wonderful visit! I love you all!

Playing with the cousins isn't complete without a tea party! The house got awefully quiet, so we went looking for the little guys. We found them in a bedroom, the 3 of them, having a tea party! This is what happens when boys have older sisters I guess. My little guy was sitting down, sipping "tea" with the other 2 boys. They were not shy about it, nor did they know it wasn't such a "masculine" way to bond. We thought it was so cute! They smiled for the cameras, and we left them to finish what they started. I think these pictures could be used for blackmail in the future if I need them!Matthew, Jacob and P

Another fun part of our conference weekend was seeing the brothers together. It is not often that all 4 Zaugg brothers get to hang out and talk and relax. I loved seeing them all in their white shirts and ties being excited to go together to listen to the prophet's voice. They are a pretty amazing group, I'd say. Here's a picture of them all together with Rob, the not-so-Zaugg, but every bit part of the family. You are such wonderful men!
