Winter Already???

Don't get me wrong, one of the perks to moving to Boise was the weather. We were so ready to get out of the months of 100 degree days in Sikeston. So this morning when we were checking the weather for school, and saw that the HIGH was 55!! There were mixed feelings. Baylee who wears flannels to bed year round was bummed cause she was going to freeze! The rest of us were ready, and excited. THEN...we saw that they are calling for rain/snow mix tonight and tomorow. We all got a little nervous then! It is only October!! This seriously limits Halloween costumes!

BABY SHOWER....

NO...NOT MINE!!! One of the perks to living in Boise, is being closer to a lot of my family. I was able to go to Kasey's baby shower..for her 2nd set of twins!! I had a great time, and I loved being able to be there with her and my other sister Joy. We tease Kasey alot about having 4 kids under a year old, I admire her strength and courage. I know she must be a special mother for Heavenly Father blessing her and knowing she is capable of handling all these beautiful babies! I definatley missed having Jennifer there with us. There always seems like a piece of "us" is missing when we get together and someone is not able to be there. But she was with us in spirit and we all knew it. Baylee is finally not the only granddaughter, and she loved being around Taya. We had a great weekend, and I was thrilled to be able to be there. I am so used to being the "sister that can't be there". It was great to be able to make up for lost times!!

DOES IT RAIN IN BOISE???

So, we have lived in Boise for about a month now, and it has not rained since we have been here! We watched as "home" (Sikeston) was hit by what was left of Ike, and couldn't believe how things are so different. Well, Scott left for Sikeston last night, and so the kids and I camped out in the living room. I knew we had a chance of rain, but I was shocked to actually hear thunder! So, around 3AM, it started ot rain!! And now, at 10:30AM it is STILL raining. I am loving it, cause I just love ot hear the thunder and rain hitting the house. But on the downside...why did it have to rain on a Saturday??
