Grateful!

My Children and I read a book before bed, Thanks for Thanksgiving. In it it listed many things to be grateful for. All of which I myself and children are grateful for. I hope our families and our friends know just how grateful we are for them! What a wonderful time of year to ponder on all the things we are so blessed with

Dick and Jane

Here is Dick and Jane and the black team we call, Black and Blue











So, my new love in life is driving! I can not get enough of it! At least twice a week we take out of Bud and Buck to go out and drive. This last week I got the best news ever- Delbert, the owner of the Ranch that Samuel is managing bought TWO more teams from an amish community, which spoke german. SO, we named them and spent saturday driving them around.It was such a blast!!!! Brigham already claims the black ones as his and is very protective. It is so cute. After Samuel was done, Emmaline decided she wanted to try to rope a calf from the fence. To our amazement she did rope one and was very proudof herself. The hard part was trying to get the rope off. It turned out to be a rodeo before we were done.

Happy Halloween!

This last part of October was very busy for us, as we lived it up with fun! For starters we carved pumpkins, went to the ward Halloween Party, where we were in the top four for our costumes. We were a family of pirates. We Went to Lisa's to decorate halloween cookies- which was a blast, thank you Lisa! Had our first ever parent-teacher conference which was awesome! Emmaline is amazing and then of Course Halloween night we went to the ward Trunk or treat and then to a few houses with Samuel when he got home from work. We have had a lot of fun! Emmaline got to wear her costume to school and thought that was just the best thing ever. The next day, when she woke up she told me that she was grateful to have back her old hair. I guess she didn't really like all that stiffness from the green hair spray.
