All is well on the RockinB Ranch/Farm/???

Congrats to Matt & Kelly!! (And Grandma Jan)
Great to see John, Ann, Hannah, Jerry, and the kids over Thanksgiving.
Hope everyone had a wonderful Thanksgiving!

Go Griz!!

just look at this face!!

Ok, so here's the deal. This girl right here hasn't received an invite to get onto this blogger site. And unfortunately, my technologically inept mother lost the invite and doesn't know how to get back on the blogger site. So Abe, if you read this....could you please send an invite to Molls and my mom??? I know there are a couple other family members who have yet to get an invite as well. I don't want to send threats, but seriously, does she look like a girl you want to mess with??

Poor Grizzlies

Just updating all of you. The Cats were dominating in their 16-6 win over the Grizzlies. It was awesome to see them do it in person. Sure, the Griz do get to go to the playoffs, but we get bragging rights for the third time in four years. It's not like the Cat's would have won anything in the playoffs anyway. If the Cats were winless going into Cat/Griz and beat the Griz, the season would be a success. Also, Abe, you are sooooo lucky I didn't take that first bet, although I am content with my $5 win. POOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOR GRIZZLIES!

Jen's List

Well...I guess since Uncle John did his, I might as well post one too!!!

I know Jake loves shopping, but if he doesn't mind, I will just ask that he donate to a charity!

Charities:

Boys and Girls Club
Heart Foundation (ask Molls about that one)


Little Gifts:

Good Charlotte CD
Casting Crowns CD
Chain for my Miraculous Mary Medal
Charms for my bracelet


Ok....that is all, for a complete list, as the 'rents. Hope everyone is doing well!!

Thank you everyone for your love and prayers! We are having a blast here in Florida with the new addition. Nick, so far Will is accomplishing everything you listed. As you can see he LOVES Notre Dame, you all read what he can write and he is an absolute bundle of joy to have around so far. He was quiet for the entire mass today, so we know that he has reverence. :) Again, thank you all for everything.

If you want to see more of little Will, you can go to homepage.mac.com/buyske2004.
