LET IT SNOW! LET IT SNOW!

Well it finally snowed!

Bailee could hardly contain her excitment. She had Paul go out to help build her a snowman. Little did he know that she wanted to make a family of snow people.
What a good dad!!!
Can't tell if the snowman is really tall or if Paul is really small. HUM, maybe a little of both.
It was a good time for both of them.

It took a lot of snow to make these!
I guess this is one way to get the snow off your lawn.

A GLIMPS OF THE "FIFTIES"!

This past weekend Bailee had a
primary activity. "Father-Daughter Bop" Their theme of course was the
50's. So they were supose to dress up
in their "poodle skirts and leather jackets"-- Paul was out of town, visiting his sister Ruth in Texas.
Joe, (Rachael's husband), stepped in to go with her. What a great brother- in- law, remember he would be missing out on the BYU and UTAH game. But I quess being ask out by a MUCH younger women was too hard to resist!! Ha Ha. Anyway, they had a good time and Bailee was so glad she was able to take Joe. She came home saying so much about all the activities.

She now is asking for a CD with all the great songs they danced to. Elvis's "Nothing But a Hound Dog," was one of her requests. Thank you so much Joe, she will never forget this night. Bailee did win the "Limbo" contest- (the stick was about 3 feet off the ground). WAY TO GO, BAILEE!!!

BUSY MONTH !!!!

This has been a very busy October.
I'm gald the season is changing.


Paul and the girls, (Malerie & Aubrey)
went deer hunting. They didn't have much luck but had fun. Paul later went out with a friend and was able to get this 3x4 deer. But lucky me, we were able to give it to Joy and Chris Blackner. I told Paul he is welcome to go hunting, but can't bring it home. He did take some of the meat for himself.





Malerie and Aubrey in their hunting attire!!



As some of you know, from reading Rachaels and Malerie's blogs that we lost Britta (Paul's dog). It was a sad day. Bailee had a really hard time with this loss. She was a big part of our family.

Malerie and I finished the rest of the canning for the year. It is a ton of work, but is much more injoyable when I have someone to do it with. Rachael was busy with school so she wasn't able to do any herself, Lucky her!! We canned corn, beans, tomatoes, tomatoes juice, salsa, apple pie filling and applesauce. Wow, I'm gald it's done!!!!!!!!!

Thanks Mal for your help and your company!!! and thanks to Paul who worked so hard in our garden!!

Some of our goods!

Aubrey and her very first driving ticket.

Three years of driving perfect record broken, Aub was rushing home from school to make it to her soccer game and got pulled over.

We were finally able to take our anual Yellowstone family vacation. We had so much fun! It is always fun to be with the Hendersons as well. Joe, Rachael, Aubrey, Ryan came up on Friday evening. We wished they could have been there the whole time, but we're glad they were able to come at all. This trip was especially fun with Hadlee being old enough to be able to walk around and communicate with everyone, she is such a joy!!!

Finally started a blog!!

So my family begged me to do a blog, so here it is!!!! Here's the update. we are doing great, Bailee started the fourth grade three week's ago , and is loving it with the exception of her teacher (Drill Sargent). Aubrey starts school on Monday as a Senior, she is currently working at Doug and Emmy's for a little extra money and she has also started her soccer season for the High School .Paul is still playing in the Asphalt and staying busy, He also goes fishing when he can fit that in the schedule . As for me Now that camp is over I am staying busy in the yard, and canning occasionally, and tending Hadlee on Thursdays and enjoying every bit of it.
