October 3rd and 4th - General Conference
October General Conference
We enjoyed our second Virtual General Conference with treats for taking lots of notes. Such a memorable weekend together. This Conference the kids helped us think up some questions that our family could use answers to. Then as we listened to Conference, we wrote any answers we heard or felt. It was a great exercise in being aware of what we needed to listen for.
How can we be peacemakers in our home?
How can the Spirit be more present in our home?
How can we be less distracted by screens?
How can we do a better job of forgiving?
How can we show more love to those in our Family?
Favorite Costume Pictures
After printing up some Christmas photos for Katie’s missionary package and our 100 Days Before Christmas party, I thought I’d do some Halloween ones as well. It was so fun to have them in the kitchen throughout the month of October. The kids loved having a few friends over and asking them which costume they loved the most. So many cute pictures and great memories.
October 8th - 15th - Chris’ St. George Golf Trip
October 9th - NO SCHOOL. An appointment for Luke with Dr. Septer — follow up to his SCOPE procedure. Luke headed to Eli’s birthday party. Megan headed to Brynnley’s birthday party.
October 10th - A Pride soccer game for Megan up in DENVER. A Pride Soccer game for Matt at Lewis Palmer.
October 13th-16th - ‘Finishing Trip’ for the Lodge. So fun to get together with Marilee, Julie, and Heather to purchase everything we needed for the Lodge.

Sunday Afternoon Magazine Collages
Love how these magazine collages turned out. Each person was able to find exactly what they needed to make a poster that represented them. So fun.

October 20th - A shopping trip to Old Navy for me and the boys. We loaded up on jeans, pants and new long sleeve T-shirts. They were so funny trying things on and loving everything. Matt was so happy he couldn’t help but dance every time he came out with new clothes on.
