The Hutchins Family

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!
