Conference Weekend

October 3rd and 4th was General Conference, and we went up to the Haworth farm to watch it. Some of my favorite talks included Elder Bednar's about being more diligent at home with the things that we should be doing. That talk reiterated a challenge our Stake is doing called "100 % for 100 days", where we are challenged to give 100% and do things such as temple attendence, family and individualpray and scripture study to name a few 100% perfect for the 100 days up to Christmas. Anyway, I liked his talk and Nathan and I are continually trying to be better always to make our marriage and home a place where we love to be.

At Grandpa and Grandma's the Tanner's came up, and so did Kristie and Tom. What fun it is to be able to see different parts of the family just about everytime we are up there. Sherri made this fantastic applesauce from these apples from a tree that was overloaded with them down in the riverbottoms on Grandpa's property. We aren't sure what kind they are, some sort of a hybrid, but the tree has been there for forever. Anyway, we brought home some more apples to see if I can try my hand at canning them.

Aubreigh and Matt Parks have some grandparents that live in Logan, and they went to visit them for Conference. We got the opportunity to meet each other's grandparents, and Matt and Nathan got to go fishing while I showed Aubreigh the farm via the ATV before the Priesthood session on Saturday evening.

We got to see the Kutterer's too on Friday and Sunday. James loves looking at all the new people. Hope that everyone had a good Conference weekend! We didn't take many pictures, but check out a few cute ones:

He is looking at me like "what are you doing, another picture"?


Okay, I'll give you a smile, but you have to be quick!



We saw 8 hawks, all perched on the pipe wheels like this, all on the same street.


Bath time is a fun time


My cousin Kira is interesting to look at


A cute, happy, and easy going James

That bottom picture of James is adorable!!! I love that sly little smile! I'm glad you guys had a great weekend. I liked Elder Bednar's talk, and that idea of doing 100% for 100 ideas is neat... because if someone can commit to that and see the blessings that come from it, it would probably be easier to continue doing it even after the 100 days were up! Thanks for the motivation to do and be better! :)
