Conference Weekend

Well it was rainy and drizzly in Utah this weekend so we know that means it is conference time! We invited Keith and Danielle and Fred and Sara down to our house and we "Watched" conference. (See attatched Photo) I was very impressed by the messages shared and especially noticed that even though several of the speakers mentioned the current economic conditions, they were not overly worried about it. Rather, they urged us to follow the council we have been given so many times before and to not fear if we are prepared.

Amy and I also watched the special they had about President Monson. I am not sure when it played on TV but it is available on KSL.COM in the conference section. There is a reason he is the prophet and it shows in his long history of service to everyone around him. I would recommend that anyone watch it if they are interested.

As for the rest of our conference day, we grilled some hamburgers in between sessions and Sara brought down some fantastic cheesecake for dessert. We really enjoyed having some family around during conference, it is a great time to get together.

Since Andelyn came home briefly, we dragged her to Thanksgiving point and made her walk our kids around in the horse poop. Thanks Andy, I didn't want to get my new shoes dirty.

Hee Haw

Isn't this kid a stud! Saddle up pardner!

Fall

Even though it doesn't really feel the like fall around here, all the signs are there. We have tried to take advantage of all the outdoor activities we can before the snow flies.

We drove up Payson canyon last week and took this picture of Ava. As you can tell, Ava is working with her smile to find the best one. Some look crazier than others! I think the reason she looks crazy is because we tell her to keep her eyes open. We tell her to keep her eyes open because she has that Walker trait that makes her eyes close whens she smiles, but we are working on it.

After once again nearly returning to the bottom of Tom and Dani's blog ticker we will make another flurry of posts and then drop into oblivion again. Things have just been moving right along, I can't believe football season is back and that the summer is winding down.

Our early fall activities have included riding a toy stroller with nothing but a diaper on, a weekend trip to St. George/Snow Canyon, and riding stray tigers at Hogle Zoo.

Koben is really starting to talk a lot more now. He mainly says "No." My favorite thing is when he is attempting to move or reach anything he grunts like he is lifting a boulder. Half the time he hasn't even started to lift, he is just grunting and hoping the object will move by itself.

We hear it has been a hard summer for Mom and Dad (Lillywhite) especially Mom. We are sorry she has faced so many problems lately. She is always so strong through it all though.

Otherwise we can't complain, things are going very good.
