Fingernails!!

Aleigha decided to paint her fingernails and came to show me!

A lot of finger...and a little nail!

Basketball & Bowling

Addie started Jr. High basketball! She is fun to watch and loves to play, she just got her Daddy to take the basketball hoop up to the shop, now Porter and her can go shoot.

I had Viv's kids for a few days-they are so cute-Kelton asked me A LOT of questions! We called Grandpa and Grandma Hanks to bring Deegan bowling with us. It was cute, when I called, Grandpa Hanks said, "well I probably won't bowl but maybe Deegan will!" All the kids loved it. Aleigha was standing by me and would clap every time someone bowled! Grandma said the pizza there was better than that fancy place (pizza hut) I love those two.~They aren't really my Grandparents I just wish they were. They are Viv's husbands'

Scripture study

I was reading the scrpitures and I am in 1Timothy 4:1-3 I was just reading with my mouth open, the Apostle Paul was decribing our day.---1 Now the spirit speaketh expressly, that in the latter times some shall depart form the faith, giving heed to seducing spirits, and doctrines of devils; 2 Speaking lies in hypocrisy; having their conscience seared with a hot rion; 3 Forbindding to marry, and commanding to abstain from meats, which God hath created to be received with thanksginging of them which believe and know the truth. He goes on to say in verse 12 Let no man despise thy youth; but be thou an example of the believers, in word, in conversation, in charity, in spirit, in faith, in purity. Can you believe it? I love the scriptures! Our Heavenly Father loves us, he warned us what was going to happen today. Everyone needs to sit down and read that!!

Thanksgiving @ Island Park

The family-Addie & Porter decided to play a joke on Ryan one night at dinner. All the kids were at one table and the adults were at another. I saw Porter go up to the waitress and talk to her. Later when I took Aleigha potty she asked me if it was o.k. if they sang Happy Birthday to my boyfriend (I thought that was pretty funny, with all those kids?) Those two thought they were pretty cleaver to think of that, they kept laughing & smiling.

Pulling the sleds in the meadow behind the cabin. There was frost on everything, it was so pretty.

Jeff & Char came up with their kids, we all went to cut down Christmas trees...I was having fun but couldn't find one that I liked, finally we just cut one down that was o.k.! We played more pool then I ever have at the cabin. Porter played me in pool, and then in fuse ball, he beat me at both, then he played Addie & beat her too. He was telling me, "I haven't lost anything I have played" -I told him to go play his dad, he lost both games! He is so tough!! We had a good Thanksgiving.

Frost on the weeds, with the sun coming through behind them.
