October 2012

Ty's parents left on a 6 month mission to little Rock Arkansas in October.  They send us weekly emails with pictures, which we love.

We turned into landlords over their three rental properties while they are gone.  This has been very busy, especially for Ty because he has been over there often fixing something.  I've heard general authorities say that you bless your family by leaving on a mission.  This has been true.  We've had many blessings even though it has been challenging without the Cravens.  They are so helpful to us.  Being landlords has been challenging too.

Ty's employer sold the company to one of their customers.  Harmony Concepts became a member of the Rhema Group (from Canada.)  It is in transition period.  Ty worked hard keeping his guys busy because the schedule didn't have enough work.

The kids and I got to spend a day with "Uncle Parker" in Provo.  We toured the campus, ate BYU ice cream.  It was so much fun.  We love Parker.  He is awesome!!!

We went with Wes's preschool class to the pumpkin Patch.  Below is a picture of Wes with his teacher Ms. Helen.  The boys had so much fun.  Grandma Judy came along to help.  

The kids had fun Trick-or-treating.  It was warm.  We had hundreds of trick or treaters.  I ran out of candy.  Chloe stayed with me and helped me hand out candy.  She got so excited to see people.  I suggested that the kids stay home and hand out candy.  Jackie said no way.
