A Picture a Day! (Or maybe two): Friends come to visit!

How long has it been since I've written a post? Guess nothing "memorable" has taken place.. (I forgot to tell you Uncle Kent, that on October 22nd I went for my annual Mammogram, sorry I didn't tell you) except my Say Yes to Cancer Awareness month and my mammogram.. I'll hurry and put that picture up.

Anyway, Our cute friends, The Simpson's came to visit on their last trip to Bend. We miss them so much since they moved to Pendleton. Austin is my buddy! Gillis is getting used to me. Thanks Jenn on your great posting and letting me use your pictures.

Derek has played Top Soccer for many, many years. He was one of the youngest players when we started.. and look at him now. He is the oldest. At the end of each season we have a team party. All the families come, all the soccer helpers come too. It's great fun. WE had it on October 30th, so the kids came in costume (Derek came just as himself.. his mother isn't big on the costumes...to many years of that)and had a big pizza party. The kids love playing in the sports court, the trampoline, and than running in the yard to find the bags of candy.

Thanks Coach John for all your help through these years. We love this program and Derek does too.
Next, one of our friends from West Linn dropped by. Well, not just like that. Sylvia's daughter Lindsay was Rebecca's very best friend (And also her brides maid). We had lost touch of Sylvia, but thankfully Sylvia still had our number and called us. Her and her very nice boyfriend Mark were coming to Bend (By way of Proghorn, Madras.. and several other stops) to watch the Bend vs The Dalles football game. They came by and we had such a nice visit. I can tell that we will stay in touch from now on. Bob and Mark are sooo much alike, have so many of the same interests. While they were talking (Non-stop) Sylvia and I just laughed. She knew they would have common interests!

Thanks Sylvia for calling and making the trip to see us!(It was a windy day.. thus my hair, Sylvia's looked great.. SHE looks Amazing.. can't wait to see her sporting braces on her teeth)

Sylvia and Mark came on October 31st, and than the next afternoon we had "Empty Nesters" come for a Break the Fast. We do this every other month. It works out great in our "game" room. This time we had soups and rolls, and a birthday cake to celebrate the birthday's in the month.
