Stake Conference!

So, Stake Conference was basically a success today. The speakers were great, the kids stayed in the cultural hall (mostly), no one called anyone an idiot (except in the car, on the way). Unfortunately, there was one small incident following the closing prayer. Sam & I started putting chairs away when all of a sudden, we heard a loud, sustained squawk coming from the podium microphone. We looked up to see whose terribly ill behaved child had made such a ruckus, only to discover that it was our own sweet Miranda. We hustled to the front of the chapel to ask her what had possessed her to cause such a scene. She turned to us with a look of pure innocence and told us that Bethany had made her do it (Is that kind of like the devil making you do it?). Chuck Brown had his own thoughts on the matter however. He claimed that since Miranda has not yet reached the age of accountability, the whole incident had to have been the will of the Lord for our stake to quickly exit the church and retreat to our homes. Amen!

At least she didn't fold herself up in a chair and fall to the hard wood floor with a crash as I did when i was seven. I like the age of accountability thing. I will have to remember that the next time my mom brings up the unfortunate incident.

It was a great Stake Conference! I had Scott helping with the kids (OK so I hardly helped at all and it was bliss). We must have left before Miranda made her microphone debut. Oh, how we love our kids!

Jules, I am loving all these golden snippets you are posting on your blog-- I've been keeping up, of course! I'm beginning to believe, however, that you have passed on to your children much more than your good looks! (Unless it is possibly Sam's genes. Let me think. Nope!) Statue of Accessories, etc.

So I had to laugh when I saw that it was Miranda of all people who 'squawked' into the microphone. She is always so quiet and shy! I am sure you didn't find it near as funny as I did but if it makes you feel better it made me smile!!

I guess your girl has finally heard the siren call of fame whispering in her ear. Or was that Bethany?
