Well, what do I say tonight? It has been a fairly calm Sunday. Choir, Church and dinner after. We made brownies for our primary class and then gave the rest away because Larry and I do not need the extra sugar and Erick has decided that brownies are not his favorite.

Michelle is feeling better this week but still tired. They went up to Midway this weekend to stay in a time share that they have. They swam in the crater and had a good time as a family for Friday through Sunday. Ethan's choir group is singing at the Kaysville tabernacle at 3:00 p.m. this Saturday. They are coming at 11:00 a.m. on Thanksgiving Day so if anyone wants to see them they will need to come earlier.

Misty's Grandfather is recovering well and has feelings on both sides of his body and is off of the respirator so they are feeling good about his chances for recovery.

Maren and Landon both have a membership at Gold's Gym so they have been going together and taking turns watching Brinlie. Maren only has 250 more hours to get before graduation so she said that if you want something done before she leaves school you will have to come in soon. Brinlie just got her sixth tooth and has been fairly grumpy through the whole thing.

BJ has been frustrated because the car insurance is charging him double what Erick has to pay so we have been trying to find out why this week but have no answers. His roommate moved out of the apartment because because he has involved with marajuana and alcohol and didn't like everyone checking on him. Erika had two roommates move out because of the fire so it is alot quieter when I talk to him on the phone.

Erick's ward had a service auction this last Friday to raise money for "The Road home" He donated an authentic Italian dinner and had six girls buy that so he is going to have a party with him and six girls. He paid $35.00 for a cheesecake and $20.00 dollars for a dinner with two girls, so he said to tell you he paid more for a cheesecake than a dinner. I think he is looking forward to giving and receiving the services he bought and they raised $3000.00 for their charity. He is looking forward to the end of the semester for school.

Kirsten bought a Christmas Cactus yesterday because of her fond memories of my Christmas Cactus's. It is even blooming. They are both working two jobs and trying to stay sane. They raked up their leaves this weekend. Jon started his internship and is tired because they are moving something. They have the girls for Thanksgiving this year so we will get to see them.

Jake and Nikki have had all the family sick this past week. Everyone has colds. Jake worked 6 days last week so he is feeling like taking a day off to help him get rested. Lexie had her Primary Sacrament meeting today. They had the Father's sing the adult part with Lexie's class so Jake was able to sing with Lexie in the program today. He talked like he enjoyed it. Nikki had her Relief Society craft night that she has been preparing for this week so she was busy with that. Jake was helping Nikki's parents lay some tile yesterday in one of their bathrooms.

Larry did a lot of cleaning on the house this week. The office is cleaner than it has been for a year. He also did the laundry which was nice to have an automatic clothes washer, dryer and folder. He said he was going to patent the process. He bought him some new temple clothes this week and quite a few things at the church distribution center. He doesn't seem to be as stressed with school lately so I guess he is studying things that are easier for him to understand.

We went to the temple on Thursday and were able to do some names in Theo Pollock's family. Yesterday we went to see "Pirates of the Carribean 2" at the Kaysville Theatre. It was fun to have the time together.

I have been teaching sewing in TLC which is always stressful because we have to get done in two weeks and I have to trade rooms with Karen Taylor. We have a big project that is due for the Instructional Technology Class on the 6th of December and I have had to do a lot of reading to keep up with what I am doing. I have also had a lesson plan to write for the ESL class I am taking. I too am looking forward to the 6th of December.

Yesterday all my brothers and sisters and the spouses that could met at the Chuck-o-Rama in Draper for Dad's birthday. All the siblings were present except Craig who is in Iraq, but several spouses could not make it. Larry had to work so he could not go. It was fun to talk with everyone. Kathy said that Cory and Rebecca are expecting and Keith and Chris said that Erika and Craig are expecting. Aunt Annette has braces so she looks 30 years younger. Oh, and Dad predicted that BYU would lose yesterday so we know what he knows about BYU Football. Actually he was just disagreeing to be disagreeable.

Thanksgiving is at our house at 2:00 p.m. on Thursday. Have a good week.
