hoofed to death?

So my funny sister in law, lives in a REALLY small town in British Columbia Canada. She recently moved there from Edmonton Canada. We were having a talk one night when they were visiting on how she didn't feel safe running at night, because of some recent sexual assaults that were happening around Edmonton. So I asked her if she liked to go run outside in her small town. She said NO, I don't want to get hoofed to death. SEE PICTURE BELOW.
This deer, comes to their house on a daily basis. The previous owners would feed this deer from their hands. She took this picture because the deer was outside there door eating their pumpkins. She says sometimes to go get in her car with the kids, she has to take their drumsticks from their game ROCK STAR and bang the sticks together to get him to go away:)


I think this photo is SO hysterical. I will keep you posted on the deer, and his travels.


Life is good here. Ben got back from Minneapolis and we were glad he was home. I haven't had to fly much I am temporarily writing some training modules for SkyWest. I can mostly do this from home, I sometime go to the hangar to get info I can't find on the Internet. The filming went well, it is hard to keep a straight face when you know it is not a real emergency. We all had a good time.


Kessler is almost crawling, he likes to move all over, but hasn't connected it all together.

We are also planning our Christmas party for the ward, it is going to be a talent show this year. Talents and Treats, is our catchy slogan.

My grandpa isn't doing very good, he recently has gone down hill quite fast, they put him a nursing home to see if they could help him, but he is getting more confused and weaker. It has been hard on my mom, she has been called home from work a few times, because he has had really bad days.

I cut 10 inches off of my hair, yes it is a nice change. I really needed to cut all the old stuff off.

But it takes some getting used to, I actually have to do my hair now. When it was long, I would try and get away with pulling it back all the time.

That's about it, we are looking forward to Thanksgiving and this time of year. Alivia bore her testimony in church on Sunday and wouldn't tell us what she was going to say. She said she was thankful for Thanksgiving. I thought that was cute.
