Fishlake and Conference

We went to Fishlake over Conference weekend.  It was beautiful!  The leaves were yellow, red and orange, and it snowed on Saturday.  Cliff took some pictures of the leaves and mountains and we got some really pretty shots.  I love that you can see the colored leaves of the aspens, the snow covered pine trees and the blue sky!  

One of our favorite messages of conference was Elder Joseph B Wirthlin's talk.  It seems like everyday we say, "Come what may and love it" and we try to laugh instead of getting flustered.  We've said it about our truck when it had problems, Josh throwing plates to the floor and seeing it shatter into many pieces, and we as daily clean him up after gags his food up.

Thanksgiving Point Barn

We went to Thanksgiving Point with Alison and Landon.  Josh was in his element!  He loved all the animals!  He fed them and jabbered to them and was excited the whole time we were there.  He was not afraid at all to feed the animals some corn and he smiled the whole time he rode on the ponies (except when I took his picture)!

Silly Boy

Josh has a thing about resting on his head when he is in the process of standing up.  It's like he needs to rest for a minute.  He thinks it's a game- he sometimes lifts his hands up and waves them in the air.  We think it's so funny!
The other night, we heard some little noises and no jabber from a little boy.  When we found Josh, he had tasted all the licorice in the bag and thrown them on the floor.  When we came in, he said, "Mmmm," and offered us a piece!

Happy September!

We haven't posted for a while, so I thought I would write a quick update. Since August, Cliff started school. He and the others in his program are all having senioritis for 2nd year Master students. Nobody wants to do their homework or go to class. I keep telling him only 8 more months! Joshua is walking all over the place, and you can tell from his forehead. It always has a bruise on it! He loves to be outside and he loves to sit in the driver's seat of the car make car noises. The car is usually where we head to if we are outside, but then he cries if he has to sit in his car seat. He has turned into a big mama's boy and cries and pouts everytime I leave him. I started playing in the Utah Valley Symphony again and when I went to rehearsal, Cliff said that Josh would put his head against the front door and whine and say "Ma ma ma ma." We just laugh because we think he is so cute! Let see, out computer broke and we have to get a new one, so we might not be posting pictures for a while. Other than that, we are enjoying life and laughing everyday about how cute our son is!
