Emree: "Mom, I like your homemade bread, just not the taste of it."
Oh my gosh I about died laughing, as I was telling Chas about it later that night she said, "Mom that's not what I said, I said I didn't like it toasted." Whew that makes me feel better.!

Saturday Nov. 23
Went to the church to play basketball around 9 stayed till 11:30, it is getting so fun to take the kids to the gym. I have very fond memories of my Dad taking us when we were little and it was so much fun! Brooklyn and Brady are getting better everytime and are working hard. Brooklyn loves it, Brady just loves to play anything and the little kids love running around crazy. We had some races at the end which was really fun, Emree is going to be quite the athlete we think, she has good form and has a deep desire to win and will work hard to get it. After we came home I found her in the living room doing pushups, she can do 20, which is 19 more than Brooke and 10 more than Brady, hahah!!! Even Carson got in on the action and loving racing with everyone else.
Came home had lunch and Chas worked down in the basement some more. I am so thankful for him!! He knows how to do everything. Last weekend we tore all the ceiling off, can I say disgusting!!! I think mice must have lived up there at some point, thank goodness we did not see any though, just had to clean up their mess! Chas took all the old light out and put in 8 can lights, which is so, so nice!! He asked me if I wanted him to wire it for a projector and sounds system! Sounds fun, but I would rather spend the money on something else! The kids and I spent most of the day outside, Brooklyn got to ride her horse, was a little chilly, but nice enough. Brady and I cleaned out the chicken coops and cleaned up around the yard. Hauled some wood over and such.
When it started to get dark we came in and decided to go and do some Christmas shopping which was fun. I love watching the kids pick out their gifts for each other. Came home had waffles for dinner and got ready for Sunday.
Sunday 24:
Went early to church to practice with the choir for our musical number today. Chas and I talked in church about missionary work, we need to be better! Home teachers came at 2 and Chas didn't get home until 3, so they visited with the kids and I and left before he got home. Had dinner and went out to Sister Fieldings. She is now living alone as Darla went back to Pendleton. She is oh so lonely in that huge house, but she has finally sold it. So glad for her. She will be moving in Spring, which we will be sad about her leaving, but happy she will be closer to her family so they can help her out. Pretty good at 80 something, she takes no meds, and lives out on the farm by herself. She is such a great woman.
and now it is Monday and back to the routine, 8 loaves of bread made and raising and just finished a batch of rolls for Thanksgiving, so thankful for all that I have! Happy Monday!

Not sure how I can keep up with everything, but this is what we have been up to.
Brooklyn has b-ball practice 4X week, I go with her on Mondays and help coach, which by the way I LOVE!! I have found there are not many things that I do for myself and decided that that would be a blast and would be worthwhile. I love it! I get to run around and play ball with my daughter, what could be better.
Last night I asked Brady about the girls that have a crush on him, he told them " Too bad I can't date until I am 16" Awesome buddy, just keep saying that!! MAybe we should change the age to say like 20? Brooklyn invited a friend to mutual the other night and she had a blast and asked if she could come every week, ummm ya!!! Brooklyn is not technically old enough, but goes with Chas after practice, plus she'll be 12 in 2 weeks, crazy as it is!!! Her friend got on the bus yesterday morning and said, "Remember I am coming to mutual with you tonight, I am so excited!" Missionary work doesn't get any easier than that! and it is so exciting, I keep hoping she will be the key into her family!!
Emree is loving school and came home with a huge smile on her face yesterday. "Today was sit by a friend day at lunch and Kenai and Daniel were both looking for me, I said 'are you looking for me?' and they said yes! where have you been?" She was so excited to have someone want to sit by her and made her feel so special.
I am teaching the kids piano, which is no easy task mind you, and they are all doing pretty good, I am making Brady stick to it this time and he is actually doing quite well

Brooklyn or Emree?
Just thought you all might like to see how much Brooklyn and Emree look alike, its kind of scary actually! Especially that Emree wears all the clothes that Brooklyn used to wear, I better make sure I get the right name to the right picture in the scrapbooks...well photo albums anyway. This is Brooklyn when she was 10 months old!
First day of School!
My Pride and Joy!
Next to my kids this is my pride and joy, I love working in the garden! Chas likes it too, he doesn't have to weed! Actually he always takes care of the kids while I spend time there. It's so nice!
What a handsome boy!
Achoo!
Emree right before a sneeze~
Something"s funny!
