changes

Well I will start by apologizing for neglecting my blog. I recently found out that I got into the piratical nursing program. So I will be starting that in January.
Brett will be headed back to Montana in March, back to his job that he had there before. The girls and I will stay here until I am done with school and then we will get to go over also. Brett is very excited to get back there. He was very disappointed with his job here. They were very concerned on how many patients a day they could push through. He would sometimes see 30 people. He would then no get home till 8 or 9. S needless to say he can't wait to get back to a clinic where they actually care about their patients.
Sophie lost her fist two teeth. Her bottom, middle ones. The first one Brett pulled. Then Kaylie and Soph were jumping on the trampoline and Kaylie accidentally kicked soph in the mouth, loosening her tooth. A couple days later Kalyie tied dental floss to sophie's tooth and slammed the door. Out came her tooth. She was so excited to lose her teeth an to get a visit from the tooth fairy.

Baby Joseph

On October 8th my little sister Jana had her little baby boy, Joseph David Hughes. I am a very proud aunt and my girls just love him so much. Her husband david was out to sea when Joe was born, but returned a week later to meet his newbaby. He is so cute with his son. They had to return to Sand Diego where David is stationed over a week ago and I miss them all so much. Jana is required to send me a picture a day and it so so exciting to see what I will get each day from her. So here he is

THis is my SOphie with her cousin

Little jaundice(spelling) here

They live in San Diego so he gets to dress in spring clothes.

Aint he so sweet. I miss them so much. I have never been to close to Jana before, but she came for about 5 months and stayed with our parents. We grew very close and it was exciting to be with her through her pregnancy. I was there for the birth and got to cut the cord, it was awesome.

On another note, two weeks ago I taught Sophie to ride her bike without training wheels, she took off right away and has not stopped since. She loves to ride her bike. Kaylie doesn't know how and is to scared of wrecking to try. Sophie brags about it and it makes Kalyie so mad. So i asked Sophie to please stop, so she says, "i loooove riding that bike" I had to try so hard to not laugh. It was very funny. So she enjoyed riding all around while kaylie sticks to the scooter. Rissa rides her tricycle and even rode it back and forth to the school twice in one day last week, I was surprise that she didn't get tired, but I told her before we left that I was not gonna carry her bike home, so if she didn't ride it all the way we would leave it on the side of the rode. She did it and was so proud of herself.

yippee

Just eanted to let everyone know that I got into the LPN program here in Medford. I will start in Januray and finish in September. I am so excited and am glad to have one less step to my finishing goal of my RN. Thanks to all who have supported me through all this school. My Mom especially who has helped so much with taking care of my girls and gets to do so for the next 9 months. She is the best

Sophie's Funnies

I had to tell everyone some really funy things that Sophie said to her Grandma Patty. I hope I get the stories correct.
Sophie told Grandma that when she grows up she wants to be a dentist like Grandma. Grandma says, "well maybe we can work together"
Sophie says, "Grandma, you will be dead by then"
Poor Grandma

Then when it was almost Soph's birthday Grandma tells Sophie that she is ging to be so big, But Sophie tells Grandma "well Grandma I actually am not gonna be any bigger just older"

Sophie's 6th birthday and first day of kindergarden

Here are some pictures of Sophies Party. She obviously had it Tinkerbell.

September

This September brought a few fun things. Over Labor Day weekend we got to go back to White Sulphur and vist all our friends and enjoy the fun festivities of a small town. We got there just in time to go to the Demolition Derby. Our good friends Keri and Dave organized this event and it was great. It turned out to be a huge gathering. there were lots of people there. It was such great fun, the girls didn't know what to think of it but they had fun running into lots of old friends and playing with them. The folowing day we went to church and saw many frinds there as well. Then we went to the rodeo which was also packed. Marissa loved this with all the horses and cows. Our little pal Seth also rode a sheep and we all got a kick out of that, but he did great. We got to go watch some kello wrestling with a bunch of drunk annoying people and also to a street dance. You gotta love a town when they close off there main roads to have a dance. We realized how mucvh we missed it there and are now aching to be able to go back, someday, hopefully. If not there then some place similar. I really miss Keri and really want to be able to see her more often, I haven't had such a good friend in a long time and really miss the fun times that we had with her and her family. She has such great boys and my girls just love playing with them. I pray that I will be able to stay close to her, she has such a strong testimony and teaches me so many things.

I didn't get any at her actual bapstim, I was to pre-occupied and had many people visting and totally got sidetracked, but I did take these pictures of her in her dress before her baptism.
