October has ~flown~ by.......he he heeee <);-)

Wow! I can't believe October is already over! It has been a crazy busy month. It started out with the passing of my sweet Aunt Elaine on the 3rd. Which saddened us all.  Another year older for me on the 4th.....~.tears, hysterical crying, denial~ :)  Morgan was put in as 1st counselor in the Bishopric on the 9th with Tom Memmott as bishop and Terry Monroe as 2nd counselor.  Very humbling for all of us!  (more tears, hysterical crying and denial. :)  He bought a suit from Mr Mac and they had to alter it a little.  Well, it ended up being a "little" too much! Ha ha ha.... It was about 6 inches too short.  He's still waiting for another one to get here.   The cows all made it home off the mountain safely due to an early snow. Easiest round up we've EVER had!  Kole made it through another season of flag football with his team finishing in the #1 spot! YAY!!!!  MaKenzie has been practicing her violin every spare second she has had (which hasn't been much due to the fact that she has been cheering at football and volleyball so much) for her upcoming recital. Although, she does have her piece memorized and it is sounding awesome!  The Millard Eagles football team has made it to the semi-finals. Lets keep it up EAGLES!!  The town potato patch was another success this year. With many of the town's people helping to plant and harvest the 1 1/2 acre crop which, had enough potatoes for everyone that attended and then some! Then ending the month with the ward Halloween "Potato Bash" Party. (and yes the potato's from the harvest were used.)  Most of the other days of the month were filled in with attending football and volleyball games, mutual activities, tending my sweet niece, deer hunting (which was unsuccessful in Morgan's eyes :), violin lessons, house cleaning, laundry, baking, taking down fence on the mountain, helping the other permittee's round up and haul cattle home, more laundry, BUNCO, a Pampered Chef party (yes those are both very important things!;) and most important of all, was even able to sneak in a few dates with my sweetheart. :) WOW......I'm totally exhausted all over again! :) And now to post the pictures of it all cause, I know that's all you really look at anyway. :)
