October Updates

Well, here it is almost the end of October and I'm just now getting around to updates! lol

Things are going good here. Ed is staying busy with work. For the most part, he loves his job now. He's not real happy with it when the weather is bad and he has to fight the muddy roads all day. But that doesn't happen too often around here! lol

Bryce is doing good. Still living in Shattuck and working for a local contractor. Still on the volunteer fire department.

Girls are doing great!!! Just found out that they both made the A team for basketball. That really tickles them and me!! Pretty good for their first year in Hooker. Cross country is officially over for the season and that breaks Dakota's heart. She loves it so much. It quickly became her favorite sport. She did awesome all season, received medals at every meet and was the lead jr. high runner!! Jordan liked it too, but not nearly as well as Dakota did. Jordan's big things was trap shooting. She did awesome!! Went to 3 local meets and one meet in Dodge City and Kinsley, KS. She did great all season, competed with all boys, all but one was older than she was! She won 1st place in her age group at the Kinsley meet in September! She was pretty proud of her medal! She can't wait to start up again next year. Both of the girls made straight A's the first 9 weeks of school also, so that was wonderful. The principal even called them to the office and told them how proud he was of both of them for being such great students academically and for being so involved in all the extra-curricular activities as well. He told them that sometimes coming from a small school like Straight, it was a hard adjustment to the larger school like Hooker, but they made that adjustment with flying colors!! I'm so proud of them!!!

We got to spend some time with Mom this month also. It was so great to see her and spend a couple days visiting and shopping together, just like the old days!!

I think that about catches us up for now. This has not been that busy of a month (compared to most months). I've gotten started on my Christmas shopping even!! It will be here before we know it!!
