I love General Conference Weekend in the fall and the traditions that come with it. The tradition is that Jed and I always take a drive in the canyon. I was complaining that we hadn't been to see the changing leaves yet and I was just sure they would all be gone! Much to my surprise they were still so pretty---it's so crazy to me that this beautiful scenery is just 5 minutes from our house! When we got to the top of Squaw Peak it was totally snowing so of course we had to take a picture of the first snow! Jed was all excited to see the snow because it means that snowmobiling season is just right around the corner! So my next favorite tradition is Sunday morning breakfast with the "gang". Lani hosted this year and as you can see from the picture below we always lack for food---right! We were trying to figure out this morning how many years we've been doing this and I seriously think we're going on like 10 years. I forgot to bring my camera last night to another favorite tradition......dinner and shopping with the girls while the men are at their preisthood session of conference. We headed up to the Texas Roadhouse in Sandy for dinner and then did a little shoe shopping at the Southtowne Mall. I brought my friend Pat Johnson from my ward this year and the girls all loved her so I'm thinking she'll probably be a regular for our girls night outings. 
I ended the day at Curtis and Shandy's for "cousins dinner"--we get together the 2nd Sunday of every month. You'll have to check out Carrie's blog for pictures since we celebrated Carson's birthday. Jed didn't get to join us since he is headed to Las Vegas....which is another interesting story.....everyone be on watch to see if I make it to Vegas this week like I'm supposed to. The plan was for me to fly down to join him on Wednesday so we could "celebrate" our anniversary but ever since I got pregnant I've become EXTREMELY claustrophobic and the mere thought of getting on a plane makes me panic---and I'm not kidding! So if anyone is headed to Vegas this week and wants to give me a ride just let me know! HA! HA!

I love Conference weekend too! Maile, we do 2nd Sunday and its alot closer :)
Nalani - we are heading to Vegas on Wednesday to see my parents who live there part time. I'll take your plane ticket and you can ride with the noisy kids!
I think this year was exceptionally great in the food department. Did you get a seat on the isle? I think you would be less clausterphobic there. Plus we all know you are going to be up and down about 20 times to go to the restroom :)
