WE WON!!!!!

Have you ever entered a drawing?  We have entered a lot and never have won a thing..   well....   Greiner Ford here in Casper had a drawing for a car...  It started on black Friday and you could enter once a day as they were giving away three cars...   So we went Friday and entered,  we went Saturday and entered...  Then Sunday after church we were going home to change clothes then go and enter for the Sunday drawing.  When we got home there was a message on the phone.  "Hi, this is Tom from Greiner Ford...  Holly you won the car in the drawing for Saturday.  Please call me back"  I screamed really loud the boys thought I had gone crazy...   I called him back, we went down to the Ford dealer to see what we had won...  We had won a Buick Century.  WOOT!!!  WOOT!!!    It was such a fun thing, and now I know that people really do win things.  :)     Thank you Greiner Ford!!!!

Happy Halloween!

I am so far behind it is a little sad...  So, sorry for those that read and follow my blog.  This year Halloween was perfect here.  We usually don't go out on the street as the weather is usually NASTY but this year it was lovely and we went up to Bar Nunn with some homeschool friends and went trick or treating.  I think this was the first year the boys have done the door to door trick or treating.  :)   It was a lot of fun!!!   

Happy 13th Birthday Robbie!!!!

brief update

Why Hello!!!!   Hope this little update finds you all well.  :)   We are doing SUPER!!!    Not sure if we are ready for the winter months to hit.   We had a GREAT family vacation and enjoyed the warmth of the California sun.  :)  Back to reality now and having a hard time getting back into a routine.  Although it is only day 3 home from our trip.  

Kennen has been released at Young Men's President and now was called as the scout master.  Robbie is super excited about this.  :)

School is going well..  Been busy little beavers..   Soon we will be harvesting our potatoes..   We have the 2 pumpkins in the house that grew.  :)  And while we were gone Shawntell got tons of tomatoes and zucchini off of our plants. 

We have lots of pictures of Hoover Dam, Disney, LA Zoo...   I will get them loaded hopefully soon.  But as for now...  We are off to do school and some scouts. 

visitors

We had visitors!!!   We love visitors, that means we get to make a trip.  :)    My brother, sister in law, 2 nephews and niece came to hang out with us for 4 days.  We had a GREAT time.  They came for Drew's birthday..  So on his birthday we went mini golfing, to lunch, swimming, then came back to our house made pvc bows, bbq'd and had cake.  :)   The next day we made the trek to South Dakota.  :)   This first picture is from Flintstone village in Custer South Dakota.  

 Stick 'um up!!!!    Drew is a bank robber and Sid is the banker.

 Kennen and I..  How I love this man!

Thank you Shad and Jenny for the visit.  We loved having you here.  :)   

 On another note:   We are full swing into the school year.  Week 4 is complete!!!!    We are having a good time with the new curriculum.  Which is AWESOME!!!!   

This week is going to be a busy week.  :)   We are excited for the upcoming events.  Homeschooling is a blast, I am not sure why we didn't do it earlier.

We are wishing you all a wonderful week.  If any of you see or speak to my mom on the 28th. Wish her a very HAPPY BIRTHDAY!!!  We love you GAGA!!!
