road trip, again...

We are in Seattle. We drove over yesterday and it was a fabulous trip. There were plenty of people traveling to the Apple Cup in Pullman, so Seth had something to look at. I started reading "Twilight." I had put it off but decided a car ride was the perfect time to read. I finished it last night and wasn't going to start the next one, but they included the first chapter of the second book in the first book and well...now I'm reading the second. Stephanie and I are going to see the movie later this week. I'm still not sure how I feel about the book.. While I read, the boys enjoyed a little Led Zeppelin. Seth is taking a history of rock and roll class this semester and Weston has been very intrigued by it. So they all rocked out, including Koper, while I read. Some listen to Little Einsteins, we rock to Zeppelin.
Hope everyone enjoys Thanksgiving! I'm trying to convince Seth that we need to go home on Friday so that we can see Lisa and Kevin, we'll see what happens. Apparently, the deli is in need of a baker this weekend and Seth has been nominated.
We saw Kelly's friend Monica at church today. She and her husband just moved into the Jones' ward. Small world.

Whew!!!!

My Week-

Wed- Work for Keith a little, run by Scout Shop get Radio Merit Badge Book, go to Radio Club Meeting
Thurs- Work all day with Kevin on new side job in the freezing drizzle, set up complete sound system for stake musical and run the sound for dress rehersal, come home and repair a broken mic
Fri- Work all day with Kev, hurry to stake center and run sound for musical (it was okay for my first time considering I had to control 8 wireless mics, 4 fixed mics, sound from a DVD player and music.)
Sat- Teach Radio Merit Badge all day at Kev's Stake Center, run home and load a dumpster with trash from the side job, run sound for the musical (much better this time) then tear down the entire sound system.
Sun- Bishopric Mtg, Welfare Mtg, Church, Tithing, a Disp Council, Stake Welfare Mtg, and a baptism.

I'M TIRED!!!

PS- Les and Aimee did a great job in the musical. Ty was my assistant and did a great job keeping the script in front of me.
Christmas Cactus
Has anyone ever seen a Christmas Cactus? This one is more of a Halloween/Thanksgiving Cactus. It kind of jumped the gun a little and bloomed a few weeks early.
We are busy getting ready for Thanksgiving. It was just going to be Mom and I and Grandpa until a few days ago when Kevin and Lisa called to say they would like to come up to Idaho for the holiday. Kevin has put out some job feelers in the Spokane/Coeur d'Alene area and wants to look around and maybe visit with some people. We are very excited to have them here. They drove to the Salt Lake area today and will be in Moscow Monday evening. Hope all goes well.
Life is busy at work for Mom and I and we are looking forward to having a few days off.
Lacey took all her photographic equipment and stuff out of the downstairs bathroom and they are going to try to sell it. It is amazing how fast that industry changed from film to digital. Everything else is obsolete unless you have a lab and a hobby and like to work with cut film. The bathroom has really changed. Mom put new curtains in the window and the tub is now usable again.
Everything in the hood is kind of slow. No painting, windows, doors, etc. Joe and Sandi did put up their Christmas deer with the moving head. Joey loves it.
We hope that where ever you are you have a Happy Thanksgiving with friends and family. Drive carefully and call if you get a minute.
We love you all.
Mom and Dad
