Inside the Lake House

Just a few pictures, mostly after we moved furniture to Wild Duck Lake!

Cyd's Shower

A Fun day for us! And a beautiful bride to be!

Belated Halloween!

Fall is beautiful!

Just thinking today, how beautiful the changing leafs are. We have enjoyed a mixed up summer and early fall, but I would love for fall to keep hanging around. I like that Indian Summer feeling, but with the nights starting to get nippy, I know it won't last very long. I even like winter-- if I can stay inside! But, that's a long few months to be cooped up! Whatever, the Lord certainly has created a beautiful earth and I am fortunate to live here at this glorious time. I am privileged: I have a wonderful husband, a righteous family and good health. What more could I ask for? The gospel blesses my life continually.

Outside Lake Picts

Cabin!

I've been a little "bummed" ever since we sold our cabin in the Blue Mts. Mostly, because I had used money my Dad left me. I felt like I wanted something that the family would enjoy. So, I have been on the prowl to find a replacement (this time w/water). After a summer of looking, we found one on a lake (my desire was for water--remember!) It is more of a summer home. It has 2 bedrooms on the main floor, with vaulted ceiling in LR. The kitchen is in back of LR so together, it is fairly large area. The 2 brs on main floor are fairly small but the MB has a bath off of it. There is a half bath off the BR upstairs; and another bath downstairs, this one has a WD also. The kitchen is still pretty old but has a lot of nice cabinets and a DW! We are excited but a little frustrated because the owners do not want to be out until Nov 21. I don't like moving--but in the cold it's even worse! Guess we will be calling on family. Keep Nov 21 open (actually, it's a Sunday--I'm hoping they just might be out by that SAt).

Stoker 100 year Reunion!!

What a great time we had at Windust!! All but 4 were there from our family!! I think the tally was nearly 140 persons!! It was so much fun--I hope that you all had fun too!!

Movin' up

I don't think I will know how to act: we are getting our drive way Blacktopped! Just hope it will prove great since it is so expensive. We were wondering if the "crew" would show up since they were supposed to be here at 8am., but they had a flat tire on one of the trucks and waited 3 hrs for Les Swab to show up! Anyway they are here and say they will finish today! Yeah, yeah!

Thanks!

Our Moving Group! Just hoping we can find a replacement

Sort of a Sad Day

Today, we went to Tollgate to move our "belongings" out of our mountain cabin. When we drove away, it was like saying "good-bye" to a treasured friend. We have had so many fun and happy times there. We hope that our children and grandchildren will fondly remember it. We trust that Jeff and his family will also have great times there. For so many of our children and mostly our in-laws that gave of their Saturday to load everything: THANK YOU!

Nashville Country Star

here is a pic of everyone after they announced what everyone got.
this is me after they announced my name as 2nd place and gave me my check.
here is Kira after they gave her the check and announced her name when she got 3rd place.
Kira for the audition (she sang Home Sweet Home by Carrie Underwood For the Audition)
me for the auditon(i sang inside your heaven by Carrie Underwood for the audition)

so about a week ago Kira and I participated in a country singing competition called Nashville Country Star Junior Divison. we were lucky to have the finals in Connell so we didnt have to go really far. it was a fun experience and the girls there were really nice. we had to sing to country songs and the songs i sang was Suds in the Bucket and No Place That Far both by Sara Evans. Kira sang Home Sweet Home by Carrie Underwood and Somebody's Hero by Jamie O'Neal. it was really fun! in the end i ended up getting 2nd and kira got 3rd! we both got cash prizes too!!!!(that was the most exciting part lol) and the 1st place winner was Madison Mowe from Okanagan. and the good thing was there was only a 1 point difference between the 1st place girl and me! i am so glad i decided to do the competition and maybe i'll end up doing the senior divison next year.

Hey family! so Prom was on saturday and I had so much fun. I went with Andres Flores. We went roller bladeing and then ate at this italian place which was pretty good. ( I still think Olive Garden is the best!) The dance was pretty much amazing. My date and I were the prom king and queen. crazy right? what are the odds of you and your date being king and queen? ya I had a great time. I am just sad that it is my last dance in high school :( In the pictures are Andres Flores, Maira Viveros, and I.

OJH Track Meet

Talon, Bergen and Carly are participating in Olds Junior High Track and Field. They had their only home track meet today. They all did very well. Who would have thought a Knight actually running for fun....ha! It was 84 degrees outside and pretty hot. I can't imagine running even 100 meters let alone 1 mile. Carly participated in the 100m run as did Talon and Bergen. Talon and Bergen also did the mile run and the discus throw. (Sorry, Carly I don't know the other events you were in today.) Great job, kiddos. Keep working hard!

New Couch and Chairs

For those in the family who haven't heard, mom and dad got a new couch and then two new chairs that also match. They're really pretty, and I like the color. Just a word to the wise, if you weigh over 75 lbs, you might be asked to refrain from sitting on the couch. Dad's a little paranoid it'll break! lol

Here's some pictures for your enjoyment. We had some very special models helping us out.




Doesn't Nichole look like she's a little person compared to the back of the couch?


And this is my favorite of all the models I had to work with. Doesn't he just shine when the camera's on?!

Had a wonderful evening where Katelyn received her Young Woman Medallion and Recognition! Great accomplishment Katelyn. We love you

Basketball!!!!
