Scardie Cow?????

Okay, so most of you know that mom and dad live out in the country, sort-of!!! So, one of the farmers has put some cows in on the field next to the house. The girls absolutely love running out and screaming at them and making them run off! Well, yesterday they were feeding them old flowers and mulched-up leaves. Brylee and Emma were standing by the fence. Who do you think is more scared?

Notice the cows just staring at them. Maybe they think they are going to get more food!!!!

And, as dad pointed out, please take an extra close look at Brylee's shoes! Yep, those are my good brown church shoes she is wearing out in the garden to feed the cows. Nice!!!!!
I will post Halloween pics a little later! Love to all! Have a Happy Halloween!

Late Fall Pictures

Here are some pictures that I took earlier this fall. Uncle Ray was cutting his corn/feed for the cows and called and told us that if we wanted to take some pictures it in we could! What a GREAT idea! I think they turned out very cute! Lizzy is very photogenic, and, of course, the other two weren't as cooperative, but they are still are adorable!! Hopefully we can do it again next year! Enjoy!

Our New Toy!!!

Okay, so as all of you know, Bo wrecked the little white car a couple of weeks ago. Since then we have been a one car family and trying to decide what we wanted to get. Well, we knew we had to do something fast, since we ARE NOT A ONE CAR FAMILY!!! (Way to many places to be at the same time!)
So, we started getting all of our ducks in a row, financing, payments, etc. The next step was finding what we wanted. We kind of had an idea but weren't sure if we would even be able to find what we wanted in our price range. So, Dad suggested we go visit a friend up in Pocatello that owns a used car dealership and ask him if he knew of anyone or had any ideas for us. Well, we stopped in and asked, he made some phone calls for us and the next thing we knew we were driving around town with him talking to different dealerships and skipping all the middle men! Yep, we went right to the managers! It was GREAT! Thanks Roy Brown at R & J Used Auto!!!
Well, we ended finding two trucks that we really liked and couldn't decide between the two. So on Saturday afternoon we headed back to Pocatello, test drove them both and then decided that whoever gave us the best price would be the winner. So, Phil Meador Toyota gave us the best deal and we took it! So, here is the new truck . . . .

It is a Nissan Titan and it has lots of extras, like a gas and brake pedal that move towards you for us short legged folk!!!! We love this truck! It is just what we wanted! Bo will be the main driver, although, the girls think that I should be driving it!!! I just told them that during the winter when dad gets called into town and there is snow on the ground, that he will have to drive the truck that has 4-wheel drive!!!!
By the way, soccer is officially over. Our last games were on Saturday. It was a beautiful day to end soccer on. We had trophies and the kids had a blast! So here's to next year!!!!
Love to all and have a GREAT week!

Our Missionaries!

Okay so here is some BIG news! Mom and Dad have been called by the First Presidency of the Church to serve a service mission in Adam-Ondi-Ahmen, Missouri. This came as a shock to all of us! They went in to see the Stake President on what they thought was a routine visit for a class they teach, they soon thought wrong!
Well, they made the announcement in Church yesterday so we can officially start to talk about it. I think lots of people were shocked, but also very excited for mom and dad. We are very excited about this and feel that we as a whole family are going to be so blessed to have them serve this mission! Although, like we sisters said in church yesterday, it is going to be hard to share our parents with the people in Missouri, but the people in Missouri are going to be just as blessed for getting to know these two GREAT members of the church.
We are will miss them a ton, but they will be back before we know it! And, in fact, they actually don't leave until the end of February, so we will be getting in lots of time with them before they leave! Plus, we will plan a trip to go and visit!
Love you MOM and DAD! We are so proud of your decision! Good Luck!
