October

October has been a busy month for the Alaska Clouses! Papa and Gram were here for a month, visiting from Washington. Kiley got to spend every day with her grandparents and loved every minute of it! I know she can't wait to see GrandPaul and GrandBonnie..... I wonder how long it will take her to get THEM to bend to her every whim? She's pretty good at that.
Well besides the visiting grandparents we had Jeff and Lori here visiting from Washington, my Dad rebuilt our poor burned down steam with the help of Jon, Tory and Jeff, and we have been busy with work, school and sporting events.

Kiley has been expanding her vocabulary on a daily basis, and her favorite word is now "No". She says it a lot cuter, it is more like, "Nooo". She also likes to say, "Oh" after we tell her something, which seems like she is agreeing with us but she actually isn't. Kiley also has started to warm up to Tory, which is cute, but he doesn't quite know how to handle it. She is loving the snow outside and calls it "Num-Num's", I haven't gotten across to her to stay away from the yellow parts.....

Tory is busy with wrestling practice and school. He got his first report card in and got all A's and B's! Yeah Tory. He also passed the written section of his driving test, learned how to drive a stick shift, and then passed his driving test. So he is now has a lot more freedom then he did....so far so good.

Jon and I have been busy with work, Jon more than me. He has started traveling and will be busy with that for the next month. It looks like he will be gone for two days, home and then off again. They are trying to get all the computers out before Thanksgiving break. I'm trucking away with my Masters project, and a library science class. I am tired of school and ready to be done. I can't wait until both programs are over!
