Week of October 27 - November 2, 2019

Highlights:

Spiritual

We had a good Sunday. We enjoyed a very spiritual and wonderful talk by Andrew Sheppard, who is leaving for the Alabama Birmingham Mission early in November.

Dad attended a session at the temple on Wednesday night.

I completed my first time through listening to General Conference talks and began again. My Book of Mormon reading continues every morning and I am still reading General Conference talks.

I have indexed 19841  records and reviewed 54246 records so far this year.

Family

The Wilkins Family

The Wilkins family is strong and is enduring this present job challenge with faith. Mike has applied for many jobs and will works nights for Amazon loading and then job hunt during the day.  Allison continues to work both for Caption Call and at the temple. They have made great strides to live with the budget they have set and are doing well. The kids are busy at school and doing well.

The Ethan Rice Family

Pictures from their fun week and weekend of Halloween Activities including County and School Fall Festivals and church Trunk or Treat.

Kaylee got to dress in costume for Monday's dancing lessons.

It was Red Ribbon Week at school. On Tuesday, the theme was: "We Are Too Smart To Start"

She got to wear pajamas on Friday.

On Saturday, they attended a birthday party for their friend, Mason. 

The Doran Rice Family

The week started with sickness for Kelsie this time. Doran had to take time off work without pay, so he came and helped on the stone walkway between the lawn and tetherball here. He also had to work on things at the trailer.

They had a great time trick or treating in Arrowhead Lakes on Thursday evening.

Doran and Kooper came by on Friday and ended up helping Dad fix the jeep. So thankful they were here to transport to the auto parts store. Yard sales on Saturday helped them get a couch, love seat and chair. Next week is moving prep.

Morgan

Morgan is doing well and enjoying spending time with Ethan and family.

Kayty

Kayty had a good work week and celebrated Halloween as Rapunzel.

and one with the tiara she had forgotten

The Nathan Rice Family

This family had a good week. We tagged along for their trick or treating.

Emma is getting bigger and bigger...and cuter and cuter!

Dad's Garden

Rabbits ravaged the snow peas. Dad replanted and is now hunting.

Other highlights

Dad is working hard training for his new position as a Field Quality Engineer. He has studied for hours and hours and passed one test this week. He also went into the field with two other FQE's and got some experience.

Trailer, after two weeks of unsuccessful searches and people selling the wrong things to Doran and Dad, the trailer is repaired and the new wheel works.

Dad started working on the rock path. He wanted to facilitate my wheelbarrow passage from my hut to the house, but without it being complete, I cannot get my wheelbarrow to the house, so I have to individually haul tubs back and forth. We collected more rocks and dad put them in on Saturday.

Took down Halloween decor on Thursday and put up Thanksgiving on Friday.

I also started Christmas in the living room by cleaning and then putting up nativities. 

Mom began her string of weekly doctor appointments, this week it was the cardiologist. She is doing well, but I was gone nearly four hours by the time I returned home.

I made dinner in a pumpkin...without the pumpkin...for dinner on Halloween.
