thanksgiving

this year we are doing thanksgiving at our place. we have the most amount of room. i'm actually kind of excited about it.

so, today, i started the baking and cooking for dinner. pumpkin roll is cooling, and the filling will be put in tonight. jello is in the process of being made. with the leftover pumpkin, i made bread. haven't ever done that before, we'll see how it turns out. tomorrow, i need to make rolls. that way they are still warm for dinner.

finally, some snow

the weatherman has told us for a week that we're supposed to be getting snow. we had a storm come through friday night that was supposed to drop 2-4 inches. and then they said it would happen saturday night. it didnt' start until we were in church. we now have our 3 inches of snow. not our first storm of the year, but it did drop the most, and this time, it'll stick!

great news!

we just got some news this afternoon that is the best news we've heard in months. got a call from the detective, i missed it so he left a message, he wanted to let me know that they had just arrested the guy in question, and that he was in jail until he met with the judge.

oh, a huge weight has been lifted off our shoulders. the end is now in sight.

thank you Father!!!

church vs screaming baby

so, shannon started screaming in church during the last hour. nothing i did worked. i changed her bum, no go. i tried giving her some food, nothing. finally, i'd had it and just took her home.
if she does this next week, i might start skipping church for my sanity!

travel . . .

so, we went down to provo this week. rachel lost a baby, and the funeral was on wed. spent some time with gma brady and shawna. got to see gpa brady and harass him.

but, i have never wanted to strangle a child so much. on the way down, shannon cried from tremonton till provo. actually, screamed would be the better description. ok, to be honest, it wasn't the entire way down, it was periodically, but it sure felt like it was the whole way.
then on the way home, she did the same thing from blackfoot all the way home to sugar.
if this is the way it's going to be on the way out to missouri, i think i might go insane!!!
