So I have a question...I can't get work off on the 17th...so the very earliest I can get off is 12(that's if i can only work a half of a shift) but it will most likely be 3:30 that I get off. So I just wanted to know what time the whole Thanksgiving thing was going down. If its earlier say 1-3, we probably won't come but if its later like 6:30 or 7, we could probably book it down there and make it. But if its earlier say 3:30-4, I could also beg my bosses for only a half of a day and see what they say. I know that it is impossible to get everyone together at once, but I just wanted to make my very best effort. And please don't change anything around just let me know the time and I'll go from there. Okay? Thanks guys!!! love you all :)

Hello from Roosevelt

Hey everyone! We are so happy that Bree's MRI came back so well. It really helps when you can see the blessings come into your life. We can't wait to see everyone for Thanksgiving. We will bring rolls and Tyler wants to bring a strawbwerry pie if I can find strawberries. (If not we'll bring something along that line.) Also we were wondering if we could crash at Brock and Vicki's on Friday night. We have to be back to Roosevelt for the Primary Program on Sunday.
All is well and we are happy that we survived soccer. But the break won't last long, basketball season is about to start for Devin. And Ashley has her first orchestra concert tomorrow. Alyssa is the social butterfly of first grade. And Drayton is enjoying helping Tyler winterize tractors on Thursday for his Uncle Shane. Let me know if we need to bring anything else. See ya later!

Well...I finally was able to schedule my MRI. I just had it done yesterday. So $2,300 later and a small bruise on my arm, it is actually over with for one more year. Now for the hard part...My doctor's appointment is Thursday. Pray for the best. Other than that we have just been working hard. Dillon finally had his double major approved for good! He has been a dairy farmer for the past few months and is now finishing that job and will be tutoring for Business Communications and possibly Accounting. We are excited to finally get a move on with our life. Hopefully we will be able to make it to Thanksgiving so we can actually see everyone. With lots of love from "Ice"burg.
The boys went out hunting. This was the results!!! Braydon loves the hunting. He got camo for his birthday and wore it to school because he thinks they are so cool. We have two deer now and working on a third for alek to kill. We are so excited for all that deer meat. NOT ok sandor and the kids are but the moms no so excited. They are making jerky out of it. Love ya all


what we all say to are kid. I thought you all would get a laugh out of this. Hope you love it as much as I did.

As you all know this time of year our life revolves around Cross-Country. Brooke and Brittney are really running great for the Firth Girls Varsity team. Brooke has been a top runner all year and Brittney over the past couple weeks has improved greatly to finish right with Brooke the past three races. They are a week and a half away from district and three weeks away from State which will be in Idaho Falls. Katelyn is dominating the Jr. High races around our area. Brett turned 40 this year and wanted to run another Marathon. So we had a conference weekend vacation in St. George. He had a goal to break 2:40 which He barely did by 17 seconds, by running 2:39.43 and finished 36th out of around 6000 runners. He was the third place master runner, so he didn't win us a trip to Japan. Shannon is finishing up her envelope stuffing job, which has been fun for her, the kids, and Breeanna. They made good money to put toward college and other fun stuff.
