The End of October

Wow, I am really glad October is over! We had 4 parties in a row, the last 4 weekends. I happy to say they all turned out great! Our last party was on Halloween. It was a last minute party. But, Tyson's football team made it to the play offs, and it was kind of a big deal because their team hadn't even gone to the playoffs since they were 2nd year gremmies! So since they were about 9. So we decided to get them excited and celebrate going to the play offs! After practice the team and coaches came over to our house for pizza. Some of the kids decided to go trick or treating, so they just went around our neighborhood. It was really fun! Randy's friend Cecil, (Cottonwood High's football coach) brought some dvd's over for the boys to watch. They watched a Florida Gator pre season work out video and some Cottonwood High Highlights, which they all loved. So we all had a good time.
Unfortunately, we lost the game on Saturday, November 1st to Bingham 12-7. It was sad. But we still have our Banquet and that is always fun. Jackson's team was out the week before, they didn't make it to the playoffs.
So Friday night (Halloween), after the party and trick or treaters. Tyson went to bed and we were waiting for Jackson to come home from his friends house. We got a call from him about 11:30 pm, he told Randy he had wrecked on his scooter. So Randy dashed out the door to go get him. Well he wrecked right by Albion Middle School and there is usually a police officer sitting in the parking lot at night. And there was, and he went over to Jackson to see if he was ok, and then he found out Jackson was under age to be driving a scooter! So Jackson and Randy both got tickets. He even called an ambulance and then a fire truck came and everything. But, Randy decided to just drive Jackson to the ER himself. You know to save a couple thousand dollar Ambulance Ride! So we found out he had broke his ankle. So we took him to a Orthopedic Surgeon, on Monday and he needs to have surgery to put a plate in his ankle. So he gets to have surger on Friday the 7th of November. He will miss school for 3 weeks! He is not happy! Luckily he has good friends who have been coming to visit him. It is going to be a LONG 6 weeks!
Today (November 4th) is election day! So Randy and I went over this morning to vote. Who knows if our votes will even count, but at least they will locally! It is an interesting election. I really don't like either one of the candidates for president.
