Band, Basketball, Turkey and More!

Weekly update: Mitch had his first band concert and played the percussion section wonderfully! Snare Drum, Bass Drum and Tempo Blocks, he has got it down! What rhythum he has! Katelyn had a fainting spell in her health class when a girl was demonstrating diabetes. She hit the floor face down, but was happy to get a free rootbeer and hotpocket from the vice principal. The girls did great in their basketball games! Avarie even had 2 fouls! Unheard of for her, she sunk her freethrows too! Mitch though had 3 fouls in the first quarter and ended up fouling out. Speaking of "fowls" we are excited to be heading to Moscow for the big feast! It will be fun to gather with family and friends again! Hopefully the weather will cooperate! We love the snow, but not to drive in! Happy Thanksgiving!! We may see some of you!

BRACE yourself.........

She's got them! BRACES! Katelyn was so excited to get her braces, so of course we have to blog about it! She was so brave! She sings in her choir concert tonight...hopefully no spit will fly out while singing! We celebrated after with our new favorite drink, "Carmel Steamer" (carmel hot chocolate) Trey enjoys using his new "Cars" umbrella in the rain. He takes it everywhere we go! Some other updates; Mitch made Jazz band and Avarie is playing JV basketball!

Blondes have more fun!

Who is the new girl in town?

You guessed it! It is my SON Mitchel!
He decided it would be fun to dress-up as a cheerleader for Halloween!

By the Grand Tetons near Jackson Hole Wyoming

Katelyn, Ms. Smartie Pants, Kindra a.k.a. Hannah Montana, Trey the Magician and of course the newest Madison Middle School Cheerleader!




It was nice and warm here so I sat out on the front porch and passed out candy. Last weekend Marc and I got to celebrate my big bday and went to Jackson Hole Wyoming. It was beautiful! Very breathtaking....you are about 7,000 feet up. My next challenge is to get Marc to go back and try skiing~!
