The News

Ok so what you are all wondering....my ear....
I went for another CT Scan in Sioux Falls this time. Found out Monday Nov. 10th that there isn't any growth,tumor, or blood vessel growing...so that is great news....I just have to give it time ...time???time!! TIME!! It's been almost a year (March)!! Anyway maybe my trip to Atlanta with the Keystone Club will clear it up!!! OR MAKE IT WORSE!! ANYWAY so that is the news there. I am keeping busy with Keystone Club, and being a mom, and work. The boys are getting excited for Christmas because Cousin Tyler and Ava will be around! I don't think they care about presents anymore just all talking about Tyler and Ava!!! Casey got his deer this year so YIPPIE no more hunting...i think...anyway I forgot the camera at home so the updated pictures are from my phone. Halloween pics and other recent ones are yet to come...I know I am not very good and updating!! DEAL WITH IT !! HAHA UPDATING SOON! Take Care

This is me

Me.

I am not used to the time change so I got up and fixed my hair all pretty!!

Update on the Family

Connor-
Connor is doing VERY well in school he is above avergage in the DIBBLES which is a program on testing children on how fast they can read numbers, letters, words, so on and so forth. He had pictures done a couple weeks ago so we will be sure to send them on to those that are afar.

Colton-
Where do I start? Gosh he is asking questions about everything. Keeping busy at daycare learning lots. He also just had pictures done too...

both boys are into Iron Man the movie...

For Halloween I think Connor is going to be Ben 10 and Colton will be Black Spiderman

Amanda---
I have started a new job with state of SD in Department of Social Services. I started on July 1st and just had my 3 month review and it was great! Also got an email from a Social Worker saying I am really good at what I am doing and SO FAST! Which made me feel AWESOME because I really wasn't sure how I was doing, and unsure if I was getting things done fast enough...just what I needed! Scrapbooking has come to a hault because I feel I get more done when I am with my friends Megan and Tammy...not sure why though. I am still active with the Keystone Club (teen club) at Boys & Girls Club..those that know me I can not quit being around kids cold turkey! I love being around them and the things that they want to do to CHANGE THE WORLD is AWESOME! We are appling for the next level up which is 1 level from the most top spot! So YEEAAA for us! National Conference is in April and in Atlanta, GA so I hope I get to go!!

Casey---
Still working at the prison...looking for something else as always...he is waiting to hear back from the Federal Firefighters in Ft. Pierre...and also Hughes County Jail, they are putting up a new facility for juvinals. Keeping busy with other things as well, helping Shayne or his friend Merlin with different things.
