Conference weekend.

We spent a really relaxed and enjoyable Conference Weekend at the Tate Estate with my parents, my grandparents, Hopkinson's, Dallin and Becca and my cousin David.
In between sessions we played outside.
Aaron had a new *toy* he was trying out.
Umm ... like father like son!?
The rocket.
We had contest to see who could launch it the furthest.

Jean made and hung this sign in my parents front window - so cute.  Now that is talent, some of the letters are even written backwards.
 My parents new house was basically designed around this LONG dinning room table and today we opened it up and extended it out as long as it could go.  We didn't eat at it, we crafted and did projects!
 We had a computer line up with people working on technical stuff.
 Saturday afternoon I watched my friends little boy so their family could go 4-wheeling together with their older kids.  I put Bodie and Ty in my car to run an errand and this happened!

 Sometimes Bodie needs a little extra TLC from his Grandpa Quinn :)
I caught this moment with my iphone.
 One of our friends made this cute Conference Bingo game and gave us with a bag of candy corns to enjoy for the weekend.  It was a huge hit with the kids.
 I had a little "honey do" project for Gregg and Aaron to work on during conference.  Here my grandpa is monitoring the yougens'
Gregg and Aaron getting very creative trying to get some moisture out of a zip-lock sealer ... it was ugly.
The good news ... they got it fixed :)
It turned out to be kind of comical!
And what is a conference weekend with out conference cinnamon rolls for breakfast??

This year we upped the sweetness and had Becca's homemade cream cheese frosting on them {instead of store bought frosting}. 

A new tradition was born :)

BYU football.


We got the kids ready for bed tonight and then dropped them off at Grandma Lynn and Grandpa Bob's for the night so we could sneak down to Provo to the BYU football game.  Date nights are getting a little easier now that I don't have to feed Pete as often.
 It was a wear "BYU blue" game to honor Jim McMahon.
 At halftime Jim's number was retired and he was honored. 
The game itself against Utah State was UGLY!  By the end of the game there were hardly any fans left!  We met up with friends so it didn't bother us much that the game was horrible to watch, it was fun to catch up and talk.

The bus.

This is what our bus stop looks like every morning.
We love it.
The best part of the day is when all the kids yell in unison "buuuussssssss"

Skeletons.

 We might-as-well kick October off with a bang and wear our skeleton PJ's all month long!
 Cute Bodie.
 Tongue out!
 They wanted Pete to put his tongue out too!
 I love Pete in this picture!
 Cheese!
 Pete, my cute little skeleton who is 7 months old.

 Truman, my cute 5 1/2 year old skeleton.
 He is really loving kindergarten in the mornings and playing with friends in the afternoon.
Bodie has been wearing his skeleton PJ's for about two weeks already!  His favorite holiday is Halloween so we decorated the house and his room about a week ago so we could enjoy the holiday longer! :)
 Bodie loves school and is now 3 1/2.
I love these kids!
