This month has just flown by!!
Basketball season is officially underway!! Girls have an awesome team this year!! They took 1st place in the Hooker Jr. High Tournament. Won all three games by quite a bit and played excellent. Their next game they played was at Keyes and they won it by a lot too (45-11). So they are 4 and 0 right now!! Texhoma tournament starts Monday. Should be some more good games!!!
Had a nice Thanksgiving, just the four of us at home. Bryce wasn't able to make it out this year, but guess we'll get to see him for Christmas!! We smoked a turkey and had all the extras to go with it, Grandma Margie even gave me some noodles to fix that day, so we had awesome noodles too! lolll Thanks Grandma!!!
Friday I took the girls to town to do a little shopping, wasn't going to go, but Jordan wanted to get something for Tyler (her boyfriend) at one of the sales, so we went. Wasn't too bad really, we didn't go until around 9:00 that morning and the crowds had pretty much cleared out!!
Getting excited for Christmas, the girls and I put up our tree already, I'm almost done with my shopping and everything is even wrapped and under the tree now!! The girls had quite a surprise this year and they are so excited!! My Dad and step-mom are taking them on a cruise to the Bahamas for their Christmas present this year!! What an awesome gift, they can't wait!! We went in and got their passport applications sent off and put a rush on them so they'd make it back in time. Now the next thing on their lists is getting nails and toe nails done and going to tan a few times so they won't be the whitest people on the ship! lolllllll
Hoping everything works out and we make it to Laverne for Grandma Margie's Christmas, I look forward to that every year!! Just hope the weather cooperates for everyone this year!!
Hope everyone had a great Thanksgiving and enjoyed some time with their families!!!

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!!
