Addresses

Ok so I know Matt and I are the worst when it comes to sending our nieces and nephews birthday cards and such and we want to change that! I have always been big into birthdays but it seems like since we have been married life has just been placed on warp speed!! Im sure it will only get worse when we have kids! To make sure I get cards out to everyone I need addresses so if you could email me your mailing address that would be wonderful! birdfamily27@gmail.com Now I want to start with the month of December so I need addresses soon!! Happy thanksgiving to everyone! I hope that everyone has a wonderful thanksgiving day we love you all and miss you all!!

p.s. what is the plan for Elder Bird coming home? do we all plan to get together or those of us who can make it show up?

Very christmasy

I like the new look! Very christmasy (if that is even a word). This is much easier to blog - now I might actually keep up with it!

new invitations

Sorry it took me so long to respond Julie.  I finally sent you, and others of the family who haven't been posting on the blog, a new invitation to be added as a contributor.  Hope that fixes your blogging problems.  Best, Katie

Busy fall

We have had a very busy fall so far. Brendan has ran cross country, competed at district and state levels in the FFA grasslands team, and latest he was Barnwarming candidate. He did not win but it was a lot of fun. Bowen and Brice have been busy too - mainly following Brendan around to his events. He will be attending the national grasslands competetion next May - long ways to travel - Springfield MO! Hahaha ! I am going to try to figure this blog thing out and use it more.

Christmas Exchange

THEME: Games

We will be doing a random draw this week to find out who's family to buy for. It can be board games, computer, yard, video, sporting games, etc. Anything you think your persons family would love. No money limit, but don't break the bank. Isaac will not be included in this exchange, but everyone needs to send him some love. He needs lots of it.

Also I would like everyone to think about next years schedule and compare notes with all of us to chose a date for our Family Reunion. We need to be together, too much has happened since we all were together last.
More updates to come. Love ya.

Blessing Day

There were 3 blessings in the ward today and we were the last. She was fussing through the other 2, but made it through hers and sacrament fine. Then it was out the door, I'm hungry. Peter gave a nice blessing and it was a beautiful day. Darrell, Anne and the 3 youngest came out Saturday for some leaf raking and trick or treatin. They left after sacrament meeting. I wish we all lived close together so we could have had you all here too. Marie is a such a sweet, smiley thing. At the 2 month check up she weighed 12lbs 3oz. Just perfect to cuddle and squish. Hope you all had a fun weekend.

We had to be to church early for me to meet with the bishopric. Now I am not a primary teacher. I am the 2nd councilor in the primary presidency. What fun!
