A long, long time ago....

I used to write on this blog. It has been forever. Life has been ok but Papa and I are both sick right now. He's got a cold. I have a cold and blahs. I wish I knew what was wrong with me.  I haven't felt normal since I can't remember when.  Between my back, my head, my body everything.  I am sick of it all.

Well that is a good way to start things off after almost two months. Let me tell you the good parts of October.  We had a family dinner at Tara's.  She made her homemade chili.  We brought cornbread, chicken, candy, cookies, chips and cheese dip.  I guess we went with the "C" theme. lol!  We played games and had  fun!  Brad, Joel and Lanny watched the Washington Huskies game.  me, Riley, Karla, Tara, Madi, Jordy played the board games.  Had strawberry shortcake or pies for dessert.  I love these times with my family.

Jordy showing me her suitcase she has to haul in Seattle to school and home everyday!

Scruffy turned 8 this month.

Andrew went to Alaska with his school to preach to those in Fairbanks.  It was on video and he did so good!

Lauren played at the McTakeover with her school band at McDonalds in Kingston. It rocked.


When Andrew got back he came and visited here with Lauren.  I hadn't seen him in over a month.  He brought me the nicest Santa ornament. I know Lauren was sure happy to see her brother.  Amanda invited Papa and I over to their house to have dinner (Chicken Fettuccine Alfredo) and watch Andrew and Lauren carve pumpkins! We got to listen to Amanda and Lauren sing Adele. They are so good.

Speaking of singing, our grand daughter sang the National Anthem at her Middle School assembly. Pretty brave and she was awesome!  She also got new glasses.

Our daughter Heather turned 40!  She is our 3rd daughter.  Cannot believe how old they are getting.  And how old that makes us!  Life goes on until it gets done here. Then it goes on in Heaven.

Her boys did their pumpkins too!

Parker came home for the weekend and Jared was a happy boy!

September came alive with fall leaves. Of course, Port Gamble was gorgeous as usual.

 I had to get a new computer. Mine died. It is taking some getting used to.
 Dylan had a birthday. He turned 19.

He is doing really good in college. So is Parker. And Jordy is doing awesome in cosmetology school.  Everyone is doing good in school!  Lauren started soccer tryouts tomorrow. She has been sick since last Saturday with a cold and missed school Monday. Tuesday she went to practice in the rain and awful weather.  She made it through.

It's nine o'clock so it must bemy bedtime.  My fingers hurt. When I am sick my fingers hurt. lol! I am locking my site again but hopefully if you are reading it you can get it.  Let me know if you can't. lol!
