SURPRISE!!

Levi had a big surprise last week on Thursday morning when he woke up. He was leaving for school extra early in the morning for a Mr Rocky practice (pictures coming soon) and came downstairs to find 3 of his friends from McMinnville sitting on the couch waiting for him! Luke, Colton and Joff drove all night Wednesday to Idaho to surprise Levi for an early birthday celebration! What awesome friends he has!!

Props for Friends and Family!!




One thing that I have been so thankful for this fall is all of the company that we have had visit us. I have been through some tough times in the last few months and having visits from Family and Friends has really made a difference!! Having a son that is a senior and the Varsity Quarterback of an awesome team probably helped, but I know that every one of these people would come for me anytime I asked. We have awesome family and friends!! I Love you all.


This is James my brother-in-law. The Waker's came to see us for a weekend and James wanted to see if he could dress down for the game. (Kim, I got no pictures of you when you were here, you were the one with the camera in your hand all the time) Love you.

The O'Halloran's!! Our friends for life! One of the reasons we have the family that we do is because of these awesome people! And because of Jesus of course!


BFF's These kids were raised from birth together! Well Colton and Ashley literally since they are twins :) Levi came along about 6 months later.



Grandpa Harlan and Grandma Brenda came and spent a weekend with us! They came bearing gifts of food and love!



Aunt Kelley! She has been a faithful fan to Levi! She has come to 2 games and listens at home every Friday night!


Uncle Jon! He has also come to 2 games and has been keeping all of Levi's stats! Trying to get him recruited to the Ducks :)



The McMillan family!
Or should I say the McTringers :) Friends for 21 years!!! Don't let the dresses fool you. These pretty girls are Big time Sports Fans.



Grandma Joyce was a life saver!! She came over and stayed for 3 week with me during my chemo treatments. Kept my laundry folded, dishes done, house clean etc. etc. etc.!!! This was on a road trip with her to a game!!




Mark and Elindsey of course! Her visits have been a big blessing. I miss my baby girl sooo much. It's good to have her home every so often!! Thanks Mark!!!! We couldn't ask for a better son-in-law!

We were lucky enough to have Elindsey back with us this year to carve pumpkins. Just wasn't quite the same last year without her! Even Grandpa was trying to get in on the festivities! Grandpa, Grandma, Aunt Kelley and Uncle Jon came up for Levi's game last weekend. Levi Threw a 99 yard touchdown pass. School record and ties the national record!! (can't get more than 99 yds) It was great to have them all here!!!

Trick-or-Treat!!



There may be some purely selfish motives in having my kids go trick-or-treating, I admit it! I have been addicted to candy ever since I can remember. Using my lunch money for candy was a daily occurance! So it's no surprise that when the kids were ready to turn in for the night I might have suggested one more block!!! I am the one that would eat all of my candy and then proceed to sneak my brother's because he took far to long to eat his! Just thinking of the health of his teeth!! So if the kids notice that their candy is disappearing faster than it should, don't come looking for me!!!
