Well, I had to leave to watch Terry play basketball. We went, and it was so much fun to watch. We left at half time, because it was really rough to control the boys. They wanted to be with PaPa on the court. HE HE !! PaPa did make two baskets. He is a great ball player.
While I was gone this weekend, Brandi asked Ginger to braid exstentions into her hair. They look so good. She does look very nice in long hair.They stayed up half the night putting them in. Silly girls.
So, Brandi never did make it up to McCall to the cabin. She was resting up on Saturday. Plus she wanted to go to Stake Conference on Sunday. Aunt Julie was suppose to talk, But that turned into a miscomunication, as Aunt Julie didn't speak.
Ginger took pictures of Chloe this past weekend. She did a beautiful job!! My, Terry and I have such talented children, and grandchildren. I hate to BRAG< but I must tell the no lies.
I have been thinking and thinking about my kitchen. It is so hard, because I don't want to make mistakes on it. I want to have everything right the first time, as this is the only time I have to get it right.
I am grateful for my parents, and the stead fast love and devototion they share with us, and each other. I am grateful for the wonderful example my Mother shares with me. I love that she has unwavering faith. Thank you Heavenly Father for the parents I've been blessed with.

one plus one equals two
We had so much fun at the cabin. Nicole and her family were unable to come at the last minute, so Brandi decided to come. Terry and I decided to take Alec with us. We had so much fun with him! He helped Terry so much!!!!! Raking leaves, burning bush, walking up and down the hill over, and over again. Taking long walks, and running from cabin, to cabin. The last one was to wear him out so he would sleep. This worked really well. Alec is a outdoorsman. He just loves to be outside. On Friday night, four racoons came to the sliding glass window, so Terry went up to his room, picked him up, and brought him downstairs to the window. He was all excited, and hit the window, and exclaimed loudly!! The racoons didn't even flinch. They know that the window was between them and the child. Smart racoons!!!!
I forgot to tell you all, my Dad is doing so much better. It is remarkable to me that he and his body love to be at home so much. Dad and Mom's bishop and counsler came by on Friday and gave them both a blessing. Heavenly Father is surely looking down with love on my parents. The Relief Society came by, and asked if they could bring dinners every other day. Thank you Heavenly Father, for inspiring sisters. Speaking of sisters, my own two sisters help out so much! They clean the house and sweep the porch, and give much needed support in everyway possible. I love that they step in like that. I just am so grateful for them.
Tonight, I have to sign off, because I need to go watch the ambasitors of the Globe Trotters. They are playing basketball aagainst Terry, and some other old men. Will report later!

I lost my blog
I can't believe I just spent a half hour bloging, and then I lost it. !! I went to post, and I lost the internet connection. Bummers! I so don't want to go through the whole senario again. Just a quick briefing should work......
My Dad was put into the hospital on Friday. He had a heart attack. It was scary and bad. I was so scared. However, I was also sick. I had the stomach flue. .....Hello! I couldn't go see him!!!!
Talk about feeling helpless! It was awful.
So, My Dad is much better. It was touch and go for a while. He perhaps may be goin home tonight. They are just waiting for the Doctor to come sign him out.
He is so much happier at home. Mom is happier when he is home. His dogs miss him also. They just don't understand where he is, and Mom isn't home much either, when Dad is gone, so you can understand the stress this causes little doggies.
Terry came home with the upset stomach on Tuesday. He never comes home, so, ya know he was bad. However, he went to work today. I havent' seen him, but he must be better.
We are goin to the cabin this weekend, along with Nicole and her family. It will be fun. I never seem to beable to spend time with her family. I miss that. I remember going over every day to watch Jesiah and Kassia. When Kassia was just born, and Nicole was working. Now of course I have a job, and I can't be going to Boise all the time.
Welll, Logan just went into the back yard, and I am watching him while Brandi teaches swimming, so I better get off and go play with him...
What am I grateful for???? My wonderful body, that moves and plays and obeys me. Thank you Heavenly Father for my Body

a leak in the shower
There was a leak in the shower. We called the plumber, and he didn't come . What a surprise. Anyway, so I just want to tell everybody how grateful I am that my dear sweet husband can fix anything. I is so amazing to me. Sure, he doesn't have the time to fix everything, he just can. Well, since the plumber didn't come, my SH went in there and just fixed it. Thank you so much I appreciate the skills, and love you give to this family.
Just wanted to share that.
Church was good today. I enjoyed all the lessons. We are havin a Soup and Bread feed on Thursday, and I am excited for that. It will be fun to have the whole ward together for dinner.
Brandi is going to make one of her fabulous soups. She is a really good cook. I will make Debbi's Rolls. They are very good, and always a big hit. Hey Nicole and Family, if you could make it that would be so fun. Dad has a meeting that night at seven. The dinner begins at sixthiry. So, he will have a quick bit and then gone.

I finished the series!!!
Oh my gosh Nicole! I can't wait for you to read these books! Very good, and I'm sure you will love them. I can hardly wait till next spring when the next one comes out.
On Friday, Terry and I went to Boise. We went to check on our appliances we are interested in getting for the kitchen. We also went to visit my Dad. He looks very good. Mom is wonderful also. I enjoyed my time with them. We didn't stay with them very long. Didn't want to wear dad out. He had a old friend visit him in the afternoon, and he enjoyed visiting with his friends from the racing days.
Brandi, Ginger and Steve went to a halloween party dance last night. Dad and I watched the boys for Brandi. It was no big deal. We just put them right to bed. No sweat.
Today, I finished the book, and then I mowed the lawns at the house and the shop. Perhaps this will be the last time for the year. That is an exciting thought, that means the winter snows are a comin. That means ski trips a comin. Hurray!

Reading
So, we went to the cabin this last weekend, and winterized the cabin. Terry worked all day Saturday, and Sunday. I on the other hand, read a book on Saturday. Krystal thought I would enjoy a good set of books she has. They are "Twilight" "Newmoon" and "Eclipse". She gave them to me a while ago, and I just didn't have the time to get into it, so I waited. Then last week I read "Twilight". It was soooo goood! Sooo on Saturday, I started "NewMoon". I enjoyed the alone time at the cabin, in the front room, in front of the wood stove. All snuggly warm, and cozzy and doing the favorite thing in the whole world, which is READING. So, I read the WHOLE book on Saturday. Krystal told me to take both books with me to the cabin, and I didn't because I just didn't think I would really read the whole book in one day. So it worked out well for Terry, because I helped him move wood, and winterize the outside of the cabin on Sunday. It was fun to work with him. He does get sidetracked easily however. I keep him on track.
It was so wonderful up at the cabin. I love the cabin, and the wild life that lives up in the woods. It is so much fun to see the animals living among us.
Terry and I went to Penalton yesturday. I went into the Prison there, and sat in on a Parenting Class like I teach here in Ontario. Terry went on to Boardman and was in a meeting all day.
This morning Terry went to the airport and took off to Salem. He will come back late Wensday night. He is a busy travelin Man.
May God Bless you all, and may you find JOY in the little dailey pleasures that come your way

harvest time is all around
When I step outside this time of year, I am amazed and so very appreciative of the beauty that is all around me. What a wonderful time of year. The air is fresh, and crisp. I love that. The leaves are oh so wonderous to look at. The smell is also different then summer. It is wide open. Like you are standing in a wide open country valley. I love everything about Fall. It is delightful.
Terry came home last night. So good to have him home. We are going to the cabin to winterize it today and tomorrow. We are going all by ourselves. It should be lots of fun. I am sure there is snow up there by now. How wounderful is that? I can't wait to go skiing with Terry this winter. I love my time with him . It seems it is getting rare. So, I jump on it when I have the oppertunity.
Nicole and kids came over to be with Krystal and kids on Thursday. She went to the store and did her shopping. Such a kind sister. Then she called me and invited me to dinner, and she made it, and it was soooo good. Again, such a compassionate sister. I am so proud of her.
Brandi and kids went to the circus last nite. Sounds like they all had a really great time. so much fun!!
Ginger was suppose to go with her to the circus, however, she got ill so was unable to go have fun. Hope she is feeling better.
Work is goin really good. I enjoy my work alot. I feel like I may be makin a difference in the Fathers lives. Happy day.
I wish the joy of Fall upon all whom read this little blog.....
