We welcomed another Bodine baby. Little Afton Kasey Klein was born at the end of October. Kasey had a hospital stay a week after she was born, but I was happy to watch the new baby. She is getting fat quick. Kasey hasn't lost her marbles yet, but is very tired and tied down at home. I've been the Ultimate Aunti between everyone's kids, I'm just glad I can serve my sisters when they have done so much for me in the past.
Soccer is over hooray! Even Will was excited for it to end. It was EVERY Tuesday and Saturday! He imporved this year though on the Teal Tigers.
Halloween was normal. We went to the ward carnival where half my laurels flaked out of their booth job, but the kids had fun. On Halloween we went with Kristen to her trunk-or-treat because Davy was working-the kids had a blast and it was fun to be with Kristen.
We took a trip to Pinedale with Grandma and Grandpa. Davy worked and earned a little cash. Will worked right along side him and Grandpa the whole time, he had so much fun. I was bored with the girls so decided to take a trip into Snowflake with them. We saw the Standifird house, the cemetery, the temple, went to MacDonalds, and went to a pumpkin patch. It turned into a very fun outing for me and the girls.
We watched the Bodine kids for a few days while Ty and Steph were out of town. Little baby Andrew was sick the whole time I had him, but he was the best sick baby I've ever taken care of. He has such a good nature. We also dog sat the few days before Bodines came over October break. Poppy and Harly Heaton-will loved it, the girls, not so much.
My piano recital "Night of Classics" was fabulous, and they all did well. It was a lot of work for me-as usual-but the students were beaming with pride.
I've been working on my Grandpa Warren's life history. It's been a lot of work but also a great blessing. I finally have everything compiled and now it's time to start typing. I've done interviews, got photos, memories, stories, and journals. It's a huge project. The more I learn about him, the more I realize how much like my Dad he is. Fun.
And now, here we are in December. I've been worrying about Christmas presents and paying for Will's upcoming dental bill. The vacuume broke this week, the lawn mower broke a month ago, my car side mirror has been hanging with duck tape for 2 months, our tires on the burb are so bad it's illegal and dave won't let me drive it, and so on, and so on, and so on... (but at lest we were able to roll up my car window for $300!!!! I guessing it's better then what I was doing-getting rained on)
I'm dreading the spring-dragging my kids to piano every day, cleaning houses, trying to potty train Holly (which I'm failing at miserably), trying to keep up with Will's school stuff, doing YW, and Davy working like a mad man. The laundry sits in an eternal pile on my bedroom floor waiting to be put away.But-I'm grateful that I get to wake up every day and be the one taking care of my kids. I'm grateful that we are all healthy enough that we can do all these things. And I'm grateful for this great house that we have. Of course, I'm extremly grateful for my Davy. Not only do I have a husband, but he a extraordinary one. So luck am I. Truly, the Lord has blessed me and my family. I have it so good.
Happy Thanksgiving!
