Welcome October

October means General Conference. Jon was supposed to be gone, so we had planned to watch with the Knoxes. But he got to come home a week early (hooray!). We decided to stick with the original plan and had the Knoxes come watch on our projector screen.  It was a bit chaotic with four kids under four, but Emma had the right idea and built them a baby pen:

Three babies in a pen (Luke kept escaping) 

Conference was a little hard to hear with all the crazies. 

I think next year we'll stick to dinner together after Conference. 

Catherine loves to go visit Elise when she wakes up.

She's not strong enough to get Elise out, but she keeps her quite happy until I get there.

Aaron & Catherine admire the sunset.

Aaron: "Is boo-full!"

Kids and chaos always go together.

Grandma Cathy spoiled everyone with Halloween gifts, candy & outfits

Early Christmas present to me! My very first new smartphone!

Apparently this is what I look like when it's bedtime and Jon is out of town. Again.

I introduced my kids to Thriller.

I didn't see my phone again for several days.

Jon got to party with his adorable nieces in Winnemucca.

My mom asked for a picture of the kids.

This was the best we could do. 

Most of the pictures looked like this one.
