I love October! The weather has been absolutely gorgeous for fall this year. It didn't even freeze this year until past the middle of the month. Usually it freezes in September.
The month always starts out great with General Conference. This year was no exception!
Brian and Chelsea and their family came for General Conference. I love that tradition!

| The dad and Brian cooked a brisket for the weekend. I LOVE brisket! |

| Our last set of chicks got killed by dogs in our backyard, so we got some new chicks. They're not exactly babies anymore, but the kids enjoyed holding the anyway! Peter is a chicken whisperer. |
 |
| These girls were older than the others were when the kids were here. Emily was okay holding the smaller girls, but these were a bit too scary. |
 |
| Conference projects. |

| Amy, Cody and the boys stayed over night on their way back to Phoenix from the Balloon Fiesta in Albuquerque. The boys went right to sleep when they got here. (It was pretty late.) Amy and I stayed up talking until after 1:00 am. I didn't see the boys again. I was gone to school before they woke up. |
 |
| Our Hallowee Window. Brian's crew helped us make the window during Conference. Eli and Calvin added to it while thy were here. |
 |
| Getting the girls used to the outdoors. |
 |
| We had a lovely tomato harvest this year. We wound up putting up a couple of dozen quarts of tomatoes this year. |
 |
| The dad is putting up new blinds in the kitchen. |
 |
| The dad is fixing it so dogs and foxes can't jump in the yard over the chicken coop. |
Here you can see the ugly wall going up on the house next door.

| Our October Temple Weekend was actually in November, but I put the picture in October anyway. |
