Busy...Busy...BUSY!

Things have been zipping along and moving so steadily that by the time I'm down with down time and ready to see about blogging - thoughts are gone and all I want to do is sleep!  Yes, I am VERY grateful I can actually sleep these days.  So here we go with a brief snippet regarding each picture.

Olivia's 6th grade did a "waxless" wax museum.  The kids had to read a biography, dress up as the character, and when their button was pushed, deliver a 2 min speil on their character.  Olivia chose Shirley Temple Black, did a little dance with song in the middle and did a great job!  I was very, VERY proud of her.  Her focus was good, she had very few blank outs and slip ups.  Great Job Livey!

This Adylae - Susan's granddaughter (Danyelle's) that turned 1 in November.  We watch her Mon-Wed- Fri each 

week.   Susan found this cute Horse Halloween outfit so we put it on her and took some pictures.  She is so fun and we have a good time.  Below is Grant the III, Susan's other grandbaby (Wes's).  We watch Grant everyday but Monday's.  He is a cutie as you can see.  He has this great personality and I by CHANCE grabbed this photo! He he he

On November 11th Anthony was ordained an Elder in the Melchezidick Preisthood.  His papers were submitted that next week the 18th.  He received his call TODAY - the 28th!  He will be serving in the New York, Utica Mission - reporting to the MTC on January 23rd.  AHHHHHHH!!  I have set up a missionary blog already :) (I know right?) you can subscribe to that blog it is:  myzengermissionary.blogspot.com.  I started blogging today on it and I will continue until he returns home.  Any pictures, letters, and addresses will be posted there so that even those that don't have facebook can enjoy if they would like.

 

Benjamin turned 16!! on Nov 7th - so he was ordained a Priest in the Aaronic Priesthood that Sunday also.  Anthony had already been ordained so he was able to stand in the circle to help ordain Ben.  Ben doesn't have his permit yet but will within this coming month.  He wasn't so exited before; however, he now has a term of Drivers Ed under his belt and figures he can probably pass the exam now.  At the Thanksgiving table we went around and around asking each person what they were thankful for - answers?  the Priesthood, bed, sleep, being able to serve a mission, food, pets, and girls.  LOL - yep that was Mr Quiet Ben. ;)  He received a smart man fist bump from his older brother for that.  He knows who he wants to take out, just not if she's old enough yet.  The hard part with him will be getting him to spend MONEY on dates since he is my saver and only spends his money on BIG things that he saves up for.  Gotta love that kid.  Oh - he was Rick Astley (80's singer) for Halloween again this year.  He does a GREAT Rick-Roll!

Paix!
