More Grahm Wafer Creations....

Here are some more of our wonderful grahm wafer creations...and just to prove the "maturity level" of our Friday night group...I will have my husband post the stories behind some of these lovely creations later this evening....LOL! He tells a story better then I do... Just as a teaser though....
it has something to do with animal rights...(check out the teddy bears in the house below) and like all good stories involves drama, and violence ...) stay tuned...








This weekend we were also lucky enough to go to the Christmas musical "Sparkling Water" in Caronport because Kendals parents gave us some tickets! The play was set in a wild frontier town in the Yukon in the year eighteen-ninety-four. It was pretty good. Everyone is always talking about their presentations, and we have lived here 7 years now and never seen one, so it was nice to finally go. We may try to go again next year too! Just for the info of anyone who wants to see next years presentation....
It is Dec 4 to 6.
The weather however was not so good. It snowed and stormed all the way out there, and I was nervous because we had baby Autumn with us, and I didn't want to get trapped on the side of the road... Coming back was better though...we just took it slow.

It was nice to do something Christmas....
This year is going to be really weird for us, because for the first time ever...
I will have NONE of my older girls at home for Christmas.
I am very sad about it. It will be pretty quiet.
Krystal will be in Winnipeg with her family...
Brandy will be in Thailand.....
and Breanne will be in Edmonton.
It will just be Kendal and I and the little kids.....

We were in a restaraunt, and my Sister in Law LA says....
"Is that actually a Basketball hat on your daughter??" LOL
Well....
Yes...Yes it is......

My daughter Breanne would be annoyed...she thinks only girl clothes should go on the girl.

Brandy in Thailand...




As most of you probably know... my 18 year old Brandy has gone to Thailand for six weeks on a missions trip. We have been very excited about this, because since she was two years old, Brandy has told me she was going to go to other nations and tell people about God...although I admit to moments of doubt when we had some teenage difficulties with her the last couple of years...
However, God is good, and she is in Thailand, where she is supposed to be for about six weeks...
We have had some concerns though...The same day that she arrived in Thailand, we heard on Canada AM that there were some serious demonstrations going on and people were wanting to overthrow the Thai Prime Minister. Apparently there are several hundred people who are trapped in Thailand, and fifty or so people have been hurt in demonstrations. The major airports where Brandy is have been shut down, and they weren't letting people out of the airports. There was news that the military was planning on closing in. We were a little concerned...obviously...but last night we heard from Brandy, and all is well. She was actually not all that aware of what was going on there, and didn't realize it had become somewhat serious! They were flown in to a military airport, and actually never came near the violence, and they are staying at a slum area, where they are ministering...so she is having a blast so far..and enjoying her trip....That is all the information we have for the moment..
but we are grateful to know she is ok, and all is well...

Have fun my girl and honor the Lord...
