A month in review

It has been so long since I have been able to post. So much has been going on that I almost don't know where to start. I guess I will work from the top down.



Garry has this long standing tradition that before Halloween his grandpa comes over and carves a pumpkin for the kids. It has been going on now for over 20 years. Now that all of Garry and his siblings are grown it is a tradition that the great grand kids look forward to.



Kale has always loved his Grandpa Brady. When he was two years old Grandpa let Kale play with the tools he had in his pocket. To this day he has never forgotten the kindness Grandpa gave to him.




Halloween was CRAZY. I had to work that day and I was still in training so I had to work on site. But from work I had to leave to go do Hailee's class party. I signed up to be the class mom this year because I felt I needed to help, which I do. So I made it there with 5 minutes to spare. It was a really fun party. We played a group game of wrapping the mummy. Then we divided into 4 stations. We decorated a Frankenstein, played pin the wart on the witched nose with gum, bingo, and the kids favorite making GOOP. It was a blast.

After school we were home for about a half hour and left to go truck or treating with Nicole and her family. They have the best trunk or treating ever. They give BIG candy bars, have a ultralight fly over and drop candy, and a live horse with a knight on it. Plus the kids go around and around until all the candy is gone.

From there we left and went drove to Boise. We got there at 2:00 am. I was so tired I thought that I would never be able to catch up on my sleep. It was really fun going to Boise. The baptism was at 10:00 a.m. We barley made it there. We missed the talks and the songs but did make it to the actual baptism of Brady. It was really neat. I love seeing the light that shines in their eyes when they come out of the water. It is something that I strive to have. On Sunday he was confirmed. I have not been to a confirmation that they have done on Sunday for a while and I have to say that it was neat. Brought a special feeling into the meeting.
After church we ate a yummy meal and were on our way back home. We stopped in Twin falls to visit Loren and Tama and their kids. They are all so cute and my kids had a great time fishing with their hands. They caught these weird little fish. Hailee's is still alive. I really wish it would go somewhere else so that I can I have bowl back. HEHE

Okay enough for now. I will post more in a bit!
