October has been a packed month! It always seems like October thru December is busy busy busy. Of course, I feel blessed to have such a packed calendar as I know it's because we are spending lots of time with fabulous friends, fun family members, watching action packed kids activities... Okay, I'm sounding "corny"! But, you get the idea.
On Sunday we had a Halloween party with 7 (8 including Tay) of Tay's girlfriends. We had so much fun!!! Lot's of great food (thanks Amy for helping with the yummy food!), crafts, games, and of course "playing in Tay's room". What a wonderful group of girls! We had the 6 Daisy's and two other friends from school. I can't tell you how much I enjoy having Jake and Taylor's friends over to our house! I hope they always continue to bring their friends over. 
Miley Cyrus!!! Wow, what a fun night we had! Dinner at a hamburger place at the Power & Light district and then a great concert! Taylor and I feel so blessed to have Amy and Ashlyn as such great friends! Fellowship and fun! What a great combination!

My baby girl.... We had Tay's conference last night... Great job Taylor! We are so proud of you! Keep up the great work! We are happy that you are such a fun, caring, energetic, confident little girl! Still our tomboy, but we're seeing lots of girly girl now too! We are so proud that you volunteered to say the prayer at church in front of all the kids with a microphone! Your prayer that night meant the world to me.... You started to pray for something, but said "never mind, you already pray for that".... I convinced you to go ahead and pray for it anyway... you prayed "that you will say lots more prayers in church"... The condensed version... You meant that I already pray for you to be like Jesus... And you were also praying to be like Jesus... You go girl!
Our cool athlete Jake... :) Jake had an awesome conference last night as well. We are so proud of you Jake! We are so happy that you are such a confident, funny, outgoing, loving, and active guy! Keep up the great work! We love watching you enjoy your sports.... and everything else you do... Loved you as John Wayne in the 3rd grade musical! We love the way you try to bring people to church and how you pray for family and friends to have Jesus in their lives. You rock!
Duke in the front yard playing "fetch" with the boys. Wow, we have been blessed with yet another wonderful family member! Duke rocks! Like every good thing... He brings on more work! Ha! :) But, well worth it! He is so sweet and loving and Paul can't wait to take him hunting next week!
Thursday night was a fantastic night for the Anderson's as well! We got our new "puppy" Duke! He's awesome! He flew in from Mississippi and we picked him up from the airport and arrived home around midnight... What a night! He is a trained hunting dog and WOW, he is trained! You would never guess that he's an 8 month old puppy! He just worships Paul and is so sweet and lovable... Unfortunately, he isn't house broken yet, but he's so smart, and with his perfect obedience training we are hoping he will learn very quickly. :)
