Danielle's first check!!
Ok..so technically it is not her first check...she gets all kinds of checks for birthdays, etc. But this was the first check she got for something she did.
She entered fudge and a photo into exhibits at the Tulsa State Fair and came in 3rd for photography and 2nd for fudge! Turns out 2nd place pays $6! Danielle was pumped!
Here's the link to the story which tells about Danielle's ribbons!
PS - Danielle is dressed up as a nerd for Halloween and had just come home from school and was too excited to change clothes before she opened her check. Hmmmm....who knows? Maybe this could be her photo-taker dress code! ;)

5 families, 2 nights, 1 camp-out of fun!
Five families set out on a 2 night camp-out of fun, food & festivities at the J.T. Nickel Wildlife Preserve north of Talequah!
Good times were had eating from food cooked over an open flame, telling ghost stories, and fleeing storms! We also had a nature hike to a waterfall and the bluffs overlooking the Illinois River!
We may have to plan some more of these outings!

Mom and Me Campout
Zac and Kathy participated in the annual Mom and Me Campout with other familes from his Boy Scout Pack. They lucked out with unusually warm October weather. It was 85 degrees during the day and 60 degrees at night. Zac enjoyed the planned activities, including leather works, a cross craft, an adventure course and a hike along the lake front. He had a BLAST playing with the other boys on the lake front during their free times. The evening was capped off with skits and music around a bon fire.

Pack Night
Zac had his monthly Cub Scout Pack meeting and the Engine 18 firemen showed up and did a presentation and let the boys climb all over the truck! Zac had a blast! Little did I know how much until I got home, reviewed my photos and found him mauling the fire truck! It was a good night!

Workin' 9 to 5!
Danielle and I got invited to attend the Dolly Parton concert by Zac's buddy's Mom (also known as M.E.).
Needless to say, Danielle was in hog-tied Heaven even though she only knew two songs (Jolene and 9 to 5).
The show was awesome, who knew Dolly Parton could play a sax, a harmonica, a piano, a banjo and still tell jokes about getting black eyes!

Sporty and you know it!
The kids are into full swing at school and their sports. Danielle has been rockin' the volleyball court and Zac is on the attack doing soccer.
I am just glad the kids like it! :)

Stealing Faces
Ever bought a book by mistake...not a hard copy...an electronic book. I did, thanks to my 1-click purchase button on Amazon!
Well, sometimes a mistake is good. Sometimes it is bad.
In this case, I loved the book. It is not my usual fare...a murder mystery. It starts off pretty gruesomely, but quickly evolves into a tale told by a stalker. Is the stalker crazy? Is she innocent? Who's the victim? Hmmmm?
It is a finger-flicker for sure! (That's iPad talk for page-turner!)
I couldn't put it down and even got in trouble when my whole family got up to leave a restaurant and I didn't even notice because I was scurrying through the author's fantastic story!
This is a MUST read!
I've never read a Michael Prescott book before, but this one is awesome!

First Dance!
Danielle has her first middle school dance tonight. It's an informal affair with a Luau theme!
Danielle is pumped! (Except for the fact that Kathy is a chaperon!)
I overheard Kathy telling Danielle that her job was to keep the Holy Spirit between her and her dance partner!
AMEN!
Can I have a HAL-LEY-LU-YER!?
