Thanksgiving at Mom & Dad's

Sounds like everyone is going to mom & dad's for Thanksgiving dinner this year. Yahoo!! It will be good to see everyone and visit, since it seems like forever since we have been in Utah. Mom & Heidi have sort of put together a list of what you could bring to the dinner so mom doesn't have to provide it all. Call mom & she can tell you what. We also thought that if you are going to stay the weekend, if you want to bring your scrapbooking stuff we'd have a get together at Heidi's Friday and/or Saturday. This past weekend I did go to mom & dad's. Heidi, Loni, mom & I tied four quilts for Heidi. They turned out really cute. Hey Steph & Steve...did you get your deer this year? Heard you were up in the hills this past weekend. Congratulations to Amber is moved in with Steph & Steve for school. I could never even say the name of what she is going to school for let alone spell it. Something to do with skin care & of course more. I'm sure as a family we could keep her in pretty good business.

Welcome to Antarctica!

It has been snowing in Burley ALL DAY today, and I swear we have about 10 inches of snow. But lucky me I get to be home and warm, Casey on the other hand is freezing his butt off deer hunting. I was informed that they got two 2 points, but Casey still hasn't got his, the hunt continues tomorrow. My mom's plans to visit grandma & grandpa were foiled due to the snow and not to mention the Interstate was closed. So, we spent the day shoveling snow and shoveling snow and did I mention shoveling snow?? We did also spend some time cutting out levi squares for quilt tops. It's hard to believe that just 3 days ago it was 80 degrees here! Were did autumn go? So here are some pics to show just how deep the snow is.


Ok so maybe its really not that deep...

Natalie!

So to answer your questions Natalie I am still living at home. With the people I dare to call my parents :D ...pics explain everything.... I'm not going to school yet, but this next fall I will be hopefully starting at CSI and working on getting into the nursing program. Right now I am working at Parke View as a CNA. It's a fun job and I like it a lot. The residents at Parke View are very nice, well most of them, and they are so funny sometimes. The other day I had a dementia patient try to answer my hand haha she thought it was a telephone.

I AGREE

I agree..what is new with everyone?! Cassie did you move out? Where are you going to school? I thought you were..That's neat about getting a job! What do you do? I'm guessing something with nursing?
Well everything is great here in Green River. My parents came and visited us this last weekend. My dad hasn't been here yet so that was nice. We had fun touring the town....ha ha not that there is too much to it. I will tell you though its just nice to have family come visit. Grandma, Grandpa, Marcia and her family actually have come also. However, Brent and I are just working. School is great..my kids are so sweet and nice. The community is so great..lots of parent involvement. We are doing well..no complaints here. Hope everyone else is doing awesome!

Hello?

So I think you people should get on here more often!
What is new with everyone?

I got a new job in August...well actually I guess you could say I got a job... And anyway here are some pics!

hi

Hey everyone! How are you guys? Whats new? Hope all is well! I also hope to hear from people! Have an awesome day!

Fort Bridger

We just got back from the Fort Bridger Rendezvous. It was good to see Natalie, Brent and his family, mom & dad, Marcia, Severo, Colby and Kylee up there. You'll have to have Severo show you the palm leaf hat he bought, he looks pretty cool in it. It was good to see everyone and visit for a while, it seems like forever since we have been to Newton or had a chance to see anyone. We went to the Rendezvous with seven other couples from our blackpowder club. For meals we had each couple fix one meal (breakfast or dinner). That made it so easy. We either got lunch on our own or threw in together with sandwiches and chips. We didn't shoot at all this rendezvous, but did get in on the knife and hawk throwing competitions and primitive archery. The archery is a blast! I even have a big bruise on my arm where I got twanged from the string. I had to use Craig's bow and it has way more pounds of pull than I am used to. One of our club members has a cannon and we went up to watch the cannon shoot as well. They shoot as this big target on the hill several miles away, that is a kick. Anyhow, I also ran into Raylyn and ValJay Rigby and their kids and Troy Jenkins and family. That was weird. I knew the Rigby's came to them, by not Troy. It took Troy a minute to recognize who I was. That day I had my hair in two braids like Indian ladies wear it, because it was so windy. He said the hairdo really threw him off. We did get rained on all Sunday night and Monday and we had to put all of our canvas back up when we got home to dry it all out which was kind of a pain, however, we did not get wet in the tent. Good to know it will hold out some pretty wet weather. But you could see on the inside of the tent you could see, almost like sweat beading up. If we would have touched the walls I am sure it would have ran like a sieve. We also got stuck a couple of times getting out of the Rendezvous, so again it took longer to leave than we planned for. Thanks to good friends and ones we did not know, getting unstuck was relatively simple. All in all an awesome week spent in good company and with good food.
