I love conference time

You can tell General Conference is this weekend, I’ve got the 72 hour kits out. We try to update the snacks every 6 months, so they don’t expire. And since General Conference is twice a year, it’s the easiest way for me to remember. In our 72 hour back packs I put food, clothes, matches, ponchos, etc.

I’m loving this quote from Uchtdorf, from the women’s session last Saturday.

late night

I’ve been at the computer a lot lately, trying to catch up on this blog. Carter keeps finding me, climbing up the office chair and standing behind me. I lean back on him and squish him and he loves it. Then he points at the computer and says “Daddy”, as he looks at the pictures I’m posting.

I’m so glad Laun signed us up to help clean the Payson Temple. This is the first time that we’ve ever helped clean a temple. Again, it’s so nice Clayton is old enough to watch his siblings. We helped from 9:30 pm to almost midnight! Such a beautiful building and I was delighted to see the Bride’s room.

McDonalds & mud

my babies

We surprised all the kids and took them out of school early. Marlee picked McDonalds for lunch.

Can you spot Carter and Porter?

Laun took the cherry tree stump out tonight, it was a big job and he was a muddy mess. Clayton held a light for him and he got dirty, too.

It’s probably good he woke us, because I’ve been wanting to go on a family drive to see the fall colors.

And once we started driving he took a nap.

We saw plenty of turkeys.

My view from the window driving by, I love the peach colored leaves.

Carter could care less about fall colors, all he wanted to do was go with his dad and see the cows.

It’s amazing to me how beautiful rocks can be.

I love Carter’s little hands.

Sometimes I’m convinced that Porter is Spiderman.

Laun and Carter have the sweetest relationship.

We came home and ate chocolate chip pound cake.

Horrible picture, but this is our kids and the next door neighbor’s kids sitting on our trailer out front watching the blood moon.

Laun cut Marlee’s hair short. It’s cute, but he wants me to take her to a stylist because it’s un even. It is hard to cut her hair because there’s so much of it and she has two big calics.

She was pretty excited. She told me it was the best day ever because of the moon, playing with neighbors and so many people are cutting their hair short. Heck, I think she’s convinced me, maybe it’s time to chop my hair off, it’s been awhile.
