Deidre's Idea

At Thanksgiving it was suggested that instead of buying gifts for each other this year, that we take that $$ and pool it together and give it to someone who needs it. I think this should be a unanimous decision. So submit your input. We usually spend between $30 and $50 so what if we put $30 to $40 each in the pool. Mom said that she knows of someone and there is a family in my ward who are probably going to lose their house that could also use the $$. Josh said that he could really use the $$. HA HA. We need to get this decided because I know that its time to Christmas shop and we need to know one way or the other.

Love ya,

Cassie

Thanks Momma

Thanks Mom and Dad for hosting Tgiving. It was fabulous.. Yummy... Just wanted to let everyone know to be expecting a letter from me in the next couple of weeks regarding the family Christmas party. It will be on Christmas eve, early, so anyone traveling can get home before Santa comes. If anyone has any special requests for the party please submit them to my inbox, emmy_olly@hotmail.com.

Cooper and Aaron

This is one of our family pictures that we had taken in August the boys are really getting big. We are heading to Boise today for the awards banquet for Gem State the rodeo association that we went to this year. Cooper won the Rookie of the year as well as many other awards. Both boys are doing great in school, I told Aaron's teachers that he was the devil child and they all think that I am lying as they claim that he is the best kid they have. He has pulled they wool over all there eyes, as we all know that he can be very mischievous. Cooper is playing basketball is doing very well as him team has not lost a game. Hope you all are doing great, have a wonderful Thanksgiving and hope to see you soon.

Love

Kent, Anna, Cooper and Aaron

Carol Rolls

I am trying to be more organized this year. Since December seems to fill up so quickly, I am going to get everyone thinking about carol rolls. We waited so long last year we didnt have a chance to do them together. I was thinking that we could do them at my house either Saturday December 15th or the 22nd. Preferrably the 15th. Hopefully if we set a date it will turn out better. Be thinking about. put it on your calendar, and let me know if this will work with you.

I also wanted to let you know that this site is secure. The only people who can view this site are people that are invited. So the whole world is not reading our family blog. They cant make a movie from our blogs. So if you have someone you want to view it or add to it give me their email and I will add it on and invite them to participate.

HI! I do hope that everyone is using this site as it is great to post things here. Kaiden's 7th birthday was yesterday as well as uncle steve's (56). I can't believe how fast Thanksgiving is coming up. I have made some food assignments below but please let me know if you need something different.

Ashlee-two cheesecakes
Emily-drink & strawberry jam for rolls
Deidre-lots of rolls
Nikki-plates, napkins & cups (also dessert plate)
Cassie-fruit/veg tray & dips

Everyone bring your own containers for leftovers. I will have foil.
Let me know if this is OK. Love, Mom

Hailey

I dont know if you have heard or not but Hailey does not have Rheumatic Fever. We are so happy about that! She does have Mono, but she is not contagious anymore so its ok to come around her.
