Yes. . .we do still exist!



I usually try to do photos with posts, but if I wait much longer to post, I will have forgotten everything that has happened in the last two months!!!

August--Kids started school: Mitchell-Sophomore; Stockton-8th Grade; Parker-5th Grade; Brigham-3rd Grade. Mitchell and Stockton are running cross country this year instead of doing football. I think they will really enjoy it.

September--Brigham starts flag football in Laurel 2x a week. Mitchell and Stockton are doing really well in cross country. Parker is getting ready for a 3 day field trip to Yellowstone Park with his class. Cub Scouts is starting up again. Luckily, I have turned the Cubmaster position over to Sue and will no longer be running anything, yeah!!!!!

October--Fundraising, fundraising, fundraising. We sold pies, coupon books, popcorn and magazines!!!!! Cross country is almost finished. Stockton's last meet was on the 16th in Joliet, he placed 9th, yahoo!!!! Mitchell has qualified to go to State!!!!! He is very exicted to go as a sophomore, he has the 4th best time on the varsity team. His beginning numbers were in the 20-21 minute range and he has improved so much he was switched from JV to Varsity in his first year doing cross country. He set a PR at the Yellowstone invitational of 19.09. And this last weekend at the Joliet home meet, he toasted that record by running an 18.31 race!! The state meet is this Saturday in Helena, so we will be going over for that race on Friday and staying in Butte with Jared's brother.

I am sick, again, the dreaded cough has returned. Although, this time I went to the doctor after a week instead of 7 weeks. Of course it is viral, but he did give me something to help me sleep. Apparently, it is deep in my lungs so he prescribed an inhaler for me to use for the next two weeks. I have had the thing for two days and I'm still not sure I'm using it correctly. Who knew it would be so difficult to figure out! Unfortunately, I think I gave it to Jared (who never gets sick). Hopefully no one else in the family will get it.
