Hello to all! I'm going to get this done early this month! So we had a busy month I hope it doesn't get to long. The first part of the month I was going some sewing. It rained one day so we went to town. The 3rd I cleaned house and we went to church in the evening because Kelly had to usher for a wedding the next day. The 4th was Troy and Monica's wedding. Monica is from here and was teaching in Grandview and that is where she met Troy. She also has a sister that lives there. I had to take Grape Salad. The 5th I cut out some more dresses. The 8th the kids and I ran to town for groceries. I needed to get things for Thanksgiving.  The 9th I cleaned house and made 6 six loaves of bread for Thanksgiving. The 10th I did some sewing. I am trying out a new pattern thats seems to to fitting nice and it sews up quick. I am trying to get all my sewing done before Christmas. The 11th we went to folks for Thanksgiving dinner. I took bread ans sweet potatoes. They had a full house so there was lots of people and kids! Monday the 12th was Thanksgiving.  We always have a big supper at supper and invite the friends and neighbours.  I took bread, sweet potatoes, and stuffing. The 14th Glenda and Amy came over. Glenda is helping me with my new pattern. She sews it for Becky so she was helping me get it to fit right. I sewed the next couple of days and cleaned the house. One day I ran to town again. The 18th we had Mark and Trista for supper.  We are on program committee with them and we needed to plan program. The 19th Kelly needed to run to town so we did quick in the evening. We bought Heidi and Nigel their Christmas present as we are gonna be gone for Christmas. We got them a play Kitchen. I set it up after they went to bed and the look on Heidi's face when she saw it the next morning was priceless! She never saw us buy it or anything but she knew what it was the moment she saw it the living room. "Look mommy new kitchen" " thank-you mommy thank-you" was said over and over! The 20th Jared was here for supper. The 21rst to the 23rd Kelly had a course in town that he took. One afternoon we went and met him when he was done and got groceries and had supper. The 24th I made party mix for Nigel's up coming birthday. The 25th was my first cousins wedding so we listened to it on the phone. The 26th I ran to Hythe in the morning to get stuff to make homemade ice cream for Nigel's birthday. The 27th I cleaned up the house and finished making ice cream and the decorations. The 28th. My little boys first birthday!!! I can hardly believe that he is one! Time has flown so fast. We invited Galen's, Tony's, Lorne's and folks for cake and ice cream. His party theme was on John Deere. I had yellow plates, green napkins, green forks and spoons that I labelled pitchforks and shovels, chocolate cupcakes with green and yellow frosting, party mix that said chicken feed, tea and water that said diesel fuel and gas and straws that said funnels. Also had homemade ice cream. It looked really cute. We give him his own cupcake and he poked at it and then put his face down and took a bite off the top. Then he did it again and then just smashed it to bits. The next day I ran to Beaverlodge to get a package. We had our annual harvest supper at folks in the evening. I made HoHo cake for dessert. We took Nigel to the ER after we got home because he had been barfing again and seemed like he had an ear infection. The nurse checked him over and said his ears where not red so we came home. The 30th I helped make hot lunch for school. We did chili over baked potatoes and donuts for dessert. In the evening we went to Albert and Anita's to play games. Had lots of fun and made many memories! Now for a little update on the kids. Heidi is still the same Heidi. Talking lots and always willing to help Mommy with what ever needs doing. Some for her favourites are setting the table and helping me in the kitchen. She knows most all her colors and gets them right most every time. She can also count to 5 with little help. She is completely potty trained now. I still wear pull ups on her for bed and to town. I still have to remind her to go but she does really good. Nigel is starting to walk he takes little steps here and there when he gets brave enough. He loves is blanket, soother, and Mommy. When he has those three things he is very happy. He loves to see his Daddy when he comes home. Kelly with pick him up and just about always he pats him on the back. He can now say Uh Oh. He weighs just over 23 lbs and is 30 inches long. He weighs about 5 more pounds more than Heidi did at that age and is just as long. We that is all for this time. Till next time......
