Tyler had six boys over this weekend for a sleep over. Since Tyler's birthday is Novemeber 2nd they celebrated early with the sleep over and then the next day they went and played paint ball. They had a lot of fun. After staying up all night and playing soo hard, Tyler slept most of Sunday. We checked his batteries on Monday morning because his left side was pulling and uncomfortable and we found that he was turned off. This showed us that although the system isn't perfect, the DBS is working.

Tyler and the six boys came to Michelle and said they all want to do something for Samantha's surgery. They said they want to raise ten thousand dollars in honor of Samantha before her surgery. They said they will all dye their hair pink if they can do it. The coolest thing about them coming up with this idea is that we had nothing to do with it and these kids wanted to do something for Samantha although they give her a hard time all the time. Pretty neat to have an idea to help a charity when you are 12 years old and especially in recognition of your little sister or your friends little sister. That type of thinking and initiative will make you very proud as a father and if it doesn't you should be slapped.

Samantha has been writing short stories. Although it is very difficult for her to write, she loves it. Samantha has switched to writing left handed and it is hard for her to do that but she likes it. She constantly is learning and trying new things. The stories she wrote are actually very good.

Luke asked all of the girls in his class who would marry him and he had three takers. Luke may need to move to Utah when he grows up. He is excited about going to the big kid school(kindergarten) next year.
