October happenings

What a crazy month October has been!
I just wanted to post some fun things that
I have done this month that I want to
remember. Starting with the bottoms pics,

my mom and I have been going canning
once a month together. It has been such a
fun time for us. I have been really nervous
about my food storage and felt impressed
that I needed to get going. So slowly I am

making progess. My mom has been doing

some for my sisters for Christmas which I
now think is a great gift cause I realize the
importance of it. She was worried about me
posting cause the funny hats but I just had

to get one so my brothers could see. Oh ya
and Britt I got a nice one of Derek for you so
you can make fun of him. The next pics are
of the local missionaries. I signed up to feed
them in Relief Society. I feel so dang bad
when those papers come

by and only a few names

are on it. I guess my
conscience gets to me.
We did it for family night. They gave us a great lesson on getting back to the simply things in life. Then there is my darling baby Jaeda who is now five months old and loving life and food. She is always smacking her tongue and diving into any food that we have. It is pretty funny. Las but not least, that is my dance class that we just had today. As you can see we had a Halloween party and they got to where their costumes. They are so cute most of the time heehee!

Tis' the Season

Congrats Ty its getting bigger every year! The

deer that is. It has been such a fun hobby for

Ty and I to start hunting together. Last year I

missed one about this size (a little bigger haha)

and this year I didn't draw out so I just helped

scout. I love watching the deer and their patterns

they take. They are actually pretty consist animals

by taking the same course. Ty shot this one in our

little "secret" spot. It was 240 yrds away coming up this

little canyon where we saw a bunch of does come up

about an hour before. Were not sure how this one

got away from all the hunters below us but we are glad

that he did. We plan on making jerky and some steaks!

The "Shiner"

So I actually kind of thought that my son would be the first
to get the "shiner" in the family but apparently I was wrong.
So the story goes as this; Ty was on duty and took the kids
to Walmart. Well, to his knowledge they were just fine and
playing happily in the cart return outside of Walmart. Where
was Ty you ask? Putting on windshield wipers not watching
the children at all. Then Tanley all of the sudden started
screaming so Ty turned around and she was holding her eye.
He picked her up to see what was wrong and her eye was all
puffy. He looked over at Talon who was sitting on the curb
quietly as a guilty culprit would.Ty asked him what had
happened and he said he pushed her into the bar. Well, so
there you have it. I have a distracted husband, a daughter
with a black eye, and a very honest son. Hahaha I had to laugh a
little and be proud that Talon was so honest however, he did get a
little lesson on not pushing and being nice to girls.

QUOTE OF THE MOMENT

A Message by George Carlin:

The paradox of our time in history is that we have taller buildings but shorter tempers, wider Freeways, but narrower viewpoints. We spend more, but have less, we buy more, but enjoy less. We have bigger houses and smaller families, more conveniences, but less time. We have more degrees but less sense, more knowledge, but less judgment, more experts, yet more problems, more medicine, but less wellness. We drink too much, smoke too much, spend too recklessly, laugh too little, drive too fast, get too angry, stay up too late, get up too tired, read too little, watch TV too much, and pray too seldom. We have multiplied our possessions, but reduced our values. We talk too much, love too seldom, and hate too often. We've learned how to make a living, but not a life. We've added years to life not life to years. We've been all the way to the moon and back, but have trouble crossing the street to meet a new neighbor. We conquered outer space but not inner space. We've done larger things, but not better things. We've cleaned up the air, but polluted the soul. We've conquered the atom, but not our prejudice. We write more, but learn less. We plan more, but accomplish less. We've learned to rush, but not to wait. We build more computers to hold more information, to produce more copies than ever, but we communicate less and less. These are the times of fast foods and slow digestion, big men and small character, steep profits and shallow relationships. These are the days of two incomes but more divorce, fancier houses, but broken homes. These are days of quick trips, disposable diapers, throwaway morality, one night stands, overweight bodies, and pills that do everything from cheer, to quiet, to kill. It is a time when there is much in the showroom window and nothing in the stockroom. A time when technology can bring this letter to you, and a time when you can choose either to share this insight, or to just hit delete... Remember; spend some time with your loved ones, because they are not going to be around forever. Remember, say a kind word to someone who looks up to you in awe, because that little person soon will grow up and leave your side. Remember, to give a warm hug to the one next to you, because that is the only treasure you can give with your heart and it doesn't cost a cent. Remember, to say, 'I love you' to your partner and your loved ones, but most of all mean it. A kiss and an embrace will mend hurt when it comes from deep inside of you. Remember to hold hands and cherish the moment for someday that person will not be there again. Give time to love, give time to speak! And give time to share the precious thoughts in your mind.

AND ALWAYS REMEMBER: Life is not measured by the number of breaths we take, but by the moments that take our breath away.
