Pentathlon Champ!

In Coriann's first collegiate track meet she had quite a showing! 3275 pts. which added up to 1st place! way to go Coriann! Then off to California for a "special" friend's farewell. Have fun Coriann.

CLARK MEAT PROCESSING PLANT

Well...fall means MEAT! So this year after the elk was hanging in the barn, JD ordered a VERY LARGE MEAT GRINDER. He said bigger is better!(why doesn't he think that about my backside?) anyway last night we cut jerky strips, and ground all the other meat, made sausage and meat sticks. So...guess what you are getting for Christmas?? haha

Good Montana Morning!

JD and I woke up this morning and found 12" of new SNOW!!

I guess winter is on the way...when I wrote this at 7:30 am 12" was true...

But it snowed all day and now at 7:00pm we have 19"

Life is Good!

I wanted to tell everyone that I am so thankful for all the blessing we have recently received. Starting with Tanner returning safely from Argentina, then a very fun summer enjoying all the green in Montana, an incredible trip to the Mediterrian countries for our 30th anniversary and returning to hear the frightening news of Porter's accident...only to watch a sweet little spirit have a complete recovery..and last week the blessing of the safe arrival of Benson. Wow! My kids and now their kids are the light of my life...how could heaven be any better?
