?!Missing!?

It seems that some of you think I've gone missing! But all in all I just haven't had time to sit down and blog. So, I finally am taking the time to do it. As usual I'm going to go back and bring you all up to date on the happenings around here....then you'll know where I've been!

The Friday after I last updated, October 10th, we got word that my cousin Darin Gines had passed away. It was a total shock, he was only 27.

Saturday the 11th the weather was starting to turn cold, so we went out and picked all the tomatoes and peppers that were ripe and covered up the rest of them so that they wouldn't freeze. Mom couldn't bare to see all of her flowers freeze so she brought a few of them in the house. Here's the greenhouse, I mean the kitchen.

After we got done with all the picking we came in and watched the Utah @ Wyoming game. Mark, Jessica, David and Stacey went to the game, and from the tales they've told I'm glad I stayed at home and watched from inside the comfort of my home. Utah ended up winning 40-7!!

It was a good thing we covered the plants, because we woke up Sunday morning to our first snow fall! It looked so pretty while it lasted. The snow was all gone by time I got back home from church.

Monday night we went up to Kamas to attend Darin's viewing. I had talked to David around 2 and he had decided to come in for the funeral. We thought it would be fun not to tell anyone, so I just text them all night to keep tabs on where they were. When they got to the church I could tell how glad Dad and Mom where that they had made the trip.

We headed back up to Kamas on Tuesday the 14th for the funeral. It was a nice service.

Friday the 17th of October Mom and Dad went and got the metal for the roof and Mark came over and helped them unload it. The roof project all of a sudden became very real!

We decided to wait on the roof and we headed to the "U" for the Utah versus Colorado State game. We had a great brunch before the game!

Yet again Utah came away victorious!! 49-16 Let's Go Utes!!

I am lucky enough to have the calling of primary pianst for my ward and the 19th was our primary program. Our wards primary is rather small so I bribbed a few little kids that I happened to know...Amber, Brody and Bridger...to come and help us out. They did a great job and I'm so glad that the program is over and not a worry anymore! At least until next year right!

Since Paul's kids were in the program they had come down to watch them. So we put them to work after dinner and got started on the roof!

Here's Paul and Dad putting the first piece down!!

The roof then took over! Monday, Tuesday and Wednesday Dad, Mom, Mark and I worked on the roof as soon as we got home from work until it was dark enough that we had to bring a light up to finish and clean up.

Thursday and Friday we took the night off and Dad, Mom and I headed to Ogden for the Wilderness Circuit Finals Rodeo.

It was back to work first thing Saturday morning though. We worked all day long and stopped just soon enough to get ready and head back to Ogden for the last night of the rodeo.

Sunday the 26th we took the day off and attended our church meetings and then headed for Woodland for a little break.

And then you guessed it...back to work on the roof Monday and Tuesday. Tuesday also brought Milly's birthday. I can't believe that she's already three! It surely doesn't seem like it's been that long! But I sure hope we get to have her around for many more birthdays!!

Wednesday we had to take other day off from the roof and go up to Kamas for the Body Motion Halloween Concert. The girls all looked really great!

Back to the roof again on Thursday.

Even though I was a slacker and took the night off from working on the roof on Halloween, Dad, Mom and Mark put in some hours on it!!

Since I don't have any kids to dress up...Milly gets to get dressed up!! She looks thrilled I know! It was rather comical putting it on her! Once it was on she didn't seem to mind at all though.

I even took her to the neighbors and she got a couple of 'Trick or Treats'!! Lucky little dog!!

Seriously...look at that face!! Too stinkin' cute!!

After taking the night off we got right after the roof on Saturday morning!

What's this you ask? It's the finished roof! That's right I said FINISHED!!!

Once we got the roof finished we came in and watched the Utes. They came out again on top with a win over New Mexico. 13-10!!

I take it that by now you've figured out where I've been missing...I was hiding up on the roof!

I'm really not sure how October is already over, time just seems to fly right on by. It looks as though November is going to be another busy month. But as my friend pointed out to me today...when am I not busy!? Umm...I'll get back to you on that one! Anyway I am looking forward to November. It's another BIG birthday month for our family! I am really going to try and keep up with my updates! I know I say that every time...but at least I said I was only going to try! Until then...keep on keeping on!!!
