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!!

August 2009
Well, here it is almost the end of August and I'm just now getting around to August news! lol The 7th of August Ed and I celebrated 20 years of marriage!! We went out to eat that evening and rode around in the vette for a while. The 8th, Jordan had a trap shoot. She did awesome!! She's in 1st place in class b. Pretty good for her first year and for competing against all those older boys!!! The following weekend, Ed and I went to Colorado Springs for our anniversary. The girls stayed with their friend Janelle. We had a great time. Did some sight seeing and some shopping. Just enjoyed the weekend together.
The girls started school on the 12th. They are really enjoying it. They already knew a few kids and they have already made a ton of new friends. They have both already had lunch "dates" with boys. OMG - NOT READY FOR THIS!!! lolllllll Jordan went out to eat one day with a boy in 8th grade. His name is Bonner. Dakota on the other hand now has a full fledged boyfriend. They have gone out to eat together everyday this week. They are constantly texting or calling or emailing each other. But - she's pretty heartbroken already - today is his last day at school. He's moving to CA. His name is Brandon and he's also an 8th grader. They'll be able to stay in touch through texts, calls, and email of course, but it's not the same. So she's pretty bummed about that!!
Tomorrow is Bryce's 19th birthday!! Hard to believe I have a 19 year old. I just can't be that old! lollll I'm going to Shattuck to see him and take him out for lunch tomorrow. He has to work, so I'll only get to see him for an hour for his lunch break, but guess that is part of being a grown up and out on your own. Gotta work and pay the bills! lol
Saturday (29th) the girls have their first cross country track meet. It's at Watonga. Ed and I won't be able to go, he's working this weekend. I have to have the girls at the school by 4:15 Saturday morning to catch the bus. Gonna make for a long day for them and me! lolll I'm anxious to find out how they do!!
Grandma Margie and Grandma Jordan both came for a visit this month. Grandma Margie stayed one night and we had a really good time!! We sure enjoyed her. Grandma Jordan stayed for two nights and we really enjoyed her too!! I'm so lucky to still have both of my Grandmas that are able to go and do so many things!!
Well, I think that about catches everyone up for August. I'll post some CO pics in another thread. I'll try and update again for September next week. My calendar is already full for the month of Sept. lol
