Happy Thanksgiving

I thought you would like to see how big Betty is now. It is kind of hard to see with her laying on my lap.

Here we all are!! Zip is not wanting to get on the bark dust and sit nicely. Betty is trying to attack Zip so we look a little weird!

I hope you all have lots of turkey and stuffing to eat and have a wonderful day!!

Happy Thanksgiving and Pheasant for All!

Zip is always trying to sit on Sid's lap! He just loves being close to him and hunting with him. This is going to be a long and wonderful relationship I hope.

Sid has been taking Zip out on Fridays and Saturdays to pheasant hunt and he is getting really good at it. He points the birds and even pointed a skunk and got sprayed one time!! Zip can't wait for Sid to get up in the morning and take him out. He runs all morning and just loves it. He comes home with purple and red marks on him from these berry bush things that he runs around in. It takes a few days for that to wear off of him. He has really been a great companion for Sid and a great hunting dog so far! Ducks are next and Zip has never been duck hunting before so this should be an adventure!

Thanksgiving is tomorrow and we will be going to Christy's parents home. They have been so nice to invite us over since we have no kiddos coming home for the holiday. I had lunch with Gwen and Debbie on Tuesday to celebrate Debbie's birthday and it was so much fun to eat and talk. We missed Julie but know she was with us in spirit!! I have so much to be thankful for!! Not to mention the best 6 kids in the world with the best 6 spouses and 10 almost 12 grandchildren. We are so grateful for good health, jobs, friends, and most of all the gospel in our lives. What a blessing to know we will be together for eternity! We hope all of you have a wonderful Thanksgiving and remember to be grateful for our blessings.

Guess what Sid saw on his walk this morning??

A silver Toyota corolla face first in the creek past the second bridge!! The same place that a person died when they did the same thing many years ago. No one died this time but still crazy to see a car in the creek. I was walking down so I could take a picture and the fire truck and several placer county sheriff's came down to check things out. They found a purse in the car which had identification in it and said it was from a girl on our street. We did not recognize the car as one that we see coming down our street so she was probably a passenger in the car. Crazy huh?? They would have to be going pretty fast to run through the barriers and end up in the creek. My battery in my camera went dead on me so I only got this one picture. I just saw the tow truck go by with the car in tow so I can't take any more pictures now.

Primary Program

We had our ward's Primary program on Sunday and there were some funny things that happened. One of the sunbeams in the front row kept picking her nose and eating it in front of everyone. Her parents were just dying in the congregation and kept trying to tell her to stop doing that. One of the little boys who had a speaking part said "Jesus was baptized by "George" the Baptist". You could hear the chuckle from the congregation!! All in all it was a great program with lots of wonderful little singers and speakers. We really have some talented kids in our ward! I am sure the Primary Presidency is glad that one is done for the year!!

Random shots

Ava got some new boots and was playing around. She was trying to do a head stand or something. Maybe she was trying to look at her new shoes upside down!

Ava likes to dump the balls out of her bag and kick them around the house. Betty loves to help her mess things up too!

Ava in her Halloween costume. She is a little Mexican girl! Barefoot and all! She would not let go of her little ponies for me to take her picture so that is why she is holding them.

Betty wanted her picture taken too! She poses for me. She is still cute and little and has lots of energy. She gets mixed up as to what toys are hers and what toys are Ava's. She kept me company when I was sick by lying on my bed with me. She really is a sweet dog.

Betty helping Ava make a mess of the balls in the house. She loves to chase these and bite on them.

All Better

Just a quick note to let everyone know that I am all better now!! It was not fun getting sick and especially when it came back after I thought I was better. I worked at the temple on Tuesday and it was so nice being in the temple again. I missed all my temple friends and the wonderful new temple presidency that just arrived. Life is pretty much back to normal for now and luckily no one else in the house got what I had!! Thanks to all who called and wished me well and thanks to all who brought over Chicken Soup! (Judy, you know who you are!) it was wonderful.
