the boys in their pink - Tough Enough to Wear PINK!
Grandma Nila called a lady that lives in Pine Valley that raises miniature horses for special needs kids and our kids got to go spend an hour or so petting, brushing and loving them.
Great Grandma Camp!

FAMILY - all of them!
The Gospel
good friends
a good paying job
a warm home
cars that run - and we can afford gas now!
good food to eat
warm blankets and someone to snuggle up with!
hot chocolate on cold mornings
kids that want to do their best
wrestling season!
people who love and teach my children
good books to read
computers and technology
and football season - GO COWBOYS!

I finally did it! I got a new Christmas tree - artifical of course - but it's new not 16 years old! I splurged and got one with lights already on it, the best thing I've ever done! I always hated putting the lights on , after untangling them! I bought it right before Halloween and now it's sitting in the livingroom all decorated and looking so nice! I know, some people will think we are pushing it a little bit (maybe a lot!) but it's made our holidays a little bit brighter! We put it up on the 7th and decorated it on the 12th. This will be thge longest wait for Santa ever! Chad wakes up every morning asking if he's come yet or not, especially yesterday because we had snow and he thought - well all the ingredients are right, the tree's up and decorated and it's snowing, surely the jolly old fat man has arrived in the night! So anytime he wants to show up, we're ready!

Well Halloween is almost over! Chad is having a party in his class today. He has the cutest Teenage Mutant Ninja Turtle outfit, I actually bought it, I never buy costumes, but it was cheap, so it came home with us, but he put it on last night and just as I got it zipped up, he said "NO!" He has a clothes thing, he doesn't like to wear new clothes or anything different, so needless to say he went trunk-or-treating last night as himself! That will also be the costume he wears today for preschool. Courtney dressed up as a vampire, she wore bright red lipstick, I think she felt very grown up. Joslyn was a cat, MEOW! Ryan sat in the van with me, even though I was amazed how many of his friends and kids older then him came by for candy. Courtney's school had a dance the last two class periods, i thought she would hide in the bathroom the entire time, mainly because that's what she said she was going to do, but she did dance with 2 boys. I'm kinda glad she isn't boy-crazy, some of those girls in her grade, look like they're 21! Joslyn's class had a party, I played Halloween BINGO and 'Don't Eat Pete' with them always fun!

Well we went to parent-teacher conferences and good news - they're all good kids at school! Ryan's Russian science teacher said "I wish I had a whole class of Ryan Ockerman's" With his accent, it sounded pretty funny. His music teacher offered to drop off his trumpet, so maybe it would get practiced, I took her up on it! Courtney is having to deal with being Ryan's little sister. She likes her reading and writing teacher, Mrs. Turnbow. Joslyn's teacher says "she's a fun girl" which means she has some things she needs to work on like spelling, reading and tests on books she's read. Over all I guess they're all doing pretty good in school. Thank Heavens!
Ryan is having his Missionary Experience Saturday the 7th. He has to be to the stake center by 7:00 AM (!) dressed as a missionary and ready to teach a REAL investigator a REAL lesson from the Preach My Gospel book. So scary for ME!
Well we think we have a buyer for our house! It's a couple from Alaska! They've seen it twice and now that our contract with our realtor is up, we can sell it and make some money! They've given us a verbal offer over the phone and we're going to get some papers filled out and get the ball rolling.
