The Month of November

We spent most of the month of November still in Jill and Dan's driveway. We had a chance to go to Chester Idaho where Terry's dad was born. There is no town, just a little community. We found the cemetery, but only one "Howard" grave. We didn't recognize the name, but he could be related. It was fun just driving around that community and imagining Terry's dad growing up there.

We got to watch Sean (Shay's son) play some football. We went to his last game and the boys all got a trophy. I think his team got second place. His coach called him "Lightning Sean" because he is so fast.

All of the family came out to support him, except Marissa. She has a hard time getting up early on Saturday mornings!

Both Sarah's and Ryan's families came to Jill's for Thanksgiving. She had a housefull. Terry thought it was pretty nice that we could just run away out to our own little "house" in the driveway to have a little quiet time!

Jill had lots of help in the kitchen making pies with Kamber and Jenna. Jenna and Kamber are good helpers!

Here is the "adults" table.

And here is the "kids" table. Good food, good company, good time!

The kids had fun playing together. This is Chaz, Jenna, and Ryley. Chaz and Ryley are Ryan' s and Jenna is Sarah's.

Sarah brought along some projects. She is giving Jill a Levi quilt for Christmas, so she brought all of the blocks cut out and Jill and I helped put it together!

That's a good way to get Jill's gift done, just have her help!

The Saturday after Thanksgiving, we went to the school where Dan teached in Rexburg and played in the gym. The adults played PIG.

It looks like Terry and Dan tied!

And then everyone joined in on Freeze! We were really trying to get some of the energy used up from the kids!

Terry had a little project that he needed help with. We told the boys that if emptying our sewer was the worst thing they every have to do for us, they can consider themselves lucky!

We ended up going back to Emmett the Monday after Thanksgiving. I had a leg/back problem the whole time we were in Rexburg. So we went back to Emmett to make sure I wasn't going to have to have surgery or anything.

It was good to be back in Emmett. It was nice seeing everyone again and we got to watch Wesley Ryan's son) play a basketball game. I am sure he is going to be a star some day!

He had a great cheering section!
