More From Conference Weekend

It's a long post. Prepare yourself. We had a crazy, busy, fun weekend!
On Saturday, before the harvesting our sunflower seeds, I wanted to take a picture of the flowers with Aaron standing next to them. Just to show how tall they got. Aaron is 6'1" so you can get a pretty good idea of just how huge these things are. And they're really droopy too. The pictures don't even show all of the flowers either. There were 5 total and they were all this tall! They weren't pretty anymore but still tall. And p.s. the seeds are so good!

Kade is obsessed with sports. It's funny really. Everything round shaped is a ball to him and he will try to pick it up and throw it if at all possible. Don't worry, in the one where he's hanging solo, Aaron was very very close by.

Bigger than his head.

Spencer helped us.

Sunday morning during the first Conference session we took our annual drive up the canyon to enjoy the beauty around us with the changing colors! We top it all off with a yummy breakfast of fruit, bagels with cream cheese and then hot chocolate. Brandon, Aaron's brother was in town for the weekend so he joined us. Serena, Aaron's sister lives here going to BYU so she joined us too! It was raining and cold but still so pretty!

The hot chocolate was yummy but sadly there wasn't very much.

Our view from the first spot we drove up to. Utah Lake is the white part and then it blends in with all the clouds above it.


We let Kade play in the car with the heater on because it was so cold. Also it was windy and since I hate wind, I was in the car too.

This leaf landed on my window and I of course loved it.
















Then we went to Jeny and Mark's house to watch the second session of conference, finish making grape juice and sunflower seeds and just hang out with them. Someone put this chain on Kade and it was pretty hilarious so we thugged him out and then had to take a few pictures.

So pretty! I'm so jealous...everything here just turns brown. No pretty colors for us to admire =) Kade is so freaking hilarious in the chain and hat...he looks like he's scratching a record or something in that first one...ha ha

Wow, I had no idea Utah was that beautiful in the fall! Those pictures are gorgeous! Kade is such a cutie. Seriously, so adorable, probably the cutest boy ever, besides my boys but I'm their mom so that doesn't count. :)

Utah is VERY beautiful in the fall. We were having a pretty colorful autumn here, too. But, it has been cut mercilessly short by a bitter freeze. The temp has been in the 20s for almost a week, and the trees are just covered with frost. That, too, is pretty, but it will be all gone today -- along with the leaves.

Gorgeous fall pictures! I was just talking the other day about how beautiful the mountains are in Utah during the fall once every leaf has turned. Kade is also so adorable.

I love the pictures you took of Aaron, Brandon & Serena. I really love the pictures of Aaron playing with Kade. It does my heart good to see him enjoying his fatherhood. Kade is the cutest, but his mom and dad are pretty cute too.

I will check to see if you posted the pics on Photobucket or Picasa so I can download them.

I love those pics. And fall. And Utah in the fall. And Kade. And you and Kade. But seriously, those pictures of the mountains are so beautiful.
