Catch up Time

Well, I am sorry that I have neglected my blogging responsibilities. Things have been a LITTLE busy around here. But that is life, and I am sure that you all are just a busy. To recap since last posting (see if I can do it in one breath??!!): Went home (Oregon) for youngest brother, Logan's, Missionary homecoming, helped tackle a master project of cleaning out the farm shop!! and played in grandma's dunking tub and threw a shower for sister Becky for her upcoming weddding, came home and found out that sister Sheree had her baby on the 15th of Aug, found out the wonderful news the Tommy got into the nursing program at Dixie State College (and had to start in two days!), celebrated my Birthday August 20th, went to Tommy's work bar-be-que end of Aug, went hiking with my sister and her fiancé Mohammed on Labor Day weekend, took howie to a coworker's girls' birthday party, drove to Oregon for my sister Becky's wedding on Sept 28, 2007 (way to much fun to describe in this little post), I got to visit with my sister Sheree at Becky's wedding (visiting from Iowa and got to hold her new little bundle of joy, Briggs Schulthies Dittmer), the next day after the wedding, had a hot dog and smores roast in the back yard at my parents house with all of the leftover wedding family and guests where Riken celebrated his birthday with fireworks and a pair of new cowboy boots, enjoyed conference with the in laws in Mesquite and decorated Halloween cookies with the family, threw a shower for my friend Brook on Oct 9 who is getting married in Nov, and this last weekend attended Tommy's 10 year class reunion, the homecoming game on Friday night and the reunion dinner on Saturday night (will post those photos later) and tried to keep up with normal day to day life in between!! So, that is what happened to us! Whewwwww deep breath...... enjoy.
