Watched General Conference today and yesterday.  It was good.  I especially enjoyed President Benson's message about the Book of Mormon.  Our family has so much improvement it needs to do, it's scary.  Dennis Peterson's dad, Wayne died September 28th and was buried yesterday.  We went to the viewing.  Landon's been sleeping all night lately.

Landon is the light of my life.  He was 3 months old yesterday.  He is finding his fist readily now, and gumming allot and likes to be held and walked around.  I love nursing him, it's so easy now.  It was just hard the 1st month.  It is so rewarding.  He is so sweet.  Last night in the paper, there was an obituary of an 11 month old baby girl who died of SIDS.  It scares me allot.  I pray that God won't take him from us.

Columbus Day.  I didn't have to work.  Went up to Grandma Dickson's and worked on the pictures.  Stake Conference was good yesterday.  It's nice fall weather.  Margo and Brett had a baby girl.  Jan Gailey, a boy.  Went down Saturday to get the kids pictures taken at Sears.  Amanda and Zac's turned out good.  Landon bawled, so we'll have to go back later.

Went to the Salt Lake Temple for the 1st time today.  It was great.  Went with Erika.  We got split up, and I had a hard time with my clothes.  Oh well, I did Katarina Liesenfeld's name for the dead.  It was neat seeing a live session.  Rog is hard to come home to.  Just ready to pick a fight.  Our marriage is a disaster.  I hate it.  Got Landon's picture, and all the kids picture together yesterday!

I've got to start doing what's right so I can be HAPPY.  I know what I have to do.  I wish I were stronger willed.  I'm afraid to weigh me.  Probably about 180 pounds.  I don't know if I'll ever get down.  Landon is so sweet.  He's 3 1/2 months and has found his fingers and always has them in his mouth.  He's so precious.  I love him so much.  Amanda and Zac are great kids.  I'm sometimes too hard on Zac. Manda and I seem to be getting along great!  Uncle Don gets operated on Thursday or Friday for his back, by Dr. Church.  Hope it helps him.  Landon hasn't been sick at all in his life.  He is so precious.
