I had to take a moment and make sure the world was still spinning. I can't believe that Grandma Pat was writing a blog. That is impressive to say the least. Heather thanks for forwarding Ryan's e-mail . It is great to read about the motherland.
Laurie thanks for the update on Nick. Good to hear he is doing well. Maybe he should stay away for the O.J. I am sure his companions would appreciate it.
If someone has the schedule for the holiday festivities and could forward that along we would love to be able to schedule the events into the calender. Have a great weekend. See ya soon.

Keepin' it crisp
So here's Ryan's or should I say Elder Barton's latest.
oh man, this week has been awesome, where to start?
first off i guess i better tell mom she better have a happy freakin' birthday.
as for christmas honestly some mountain dew and some socks is all i need.
Megan, Elder Thomas's father was one of my bishops in Airdrie, he is now the stake president of north Calgary stake...smart smart man
so this week was awesome, saturday was spent on an exchange with a zone leader, we had so many awesome experiences and taught so many lessons that day it was amazing, we played ping pong with ukranians, talked to this kid (21) who pretty much told us he feels way good when we're around and he wants to be baptized, from congo, real cool, strong church connections in Winnipeg.
transfers are next week, word on the street is that I'm staying in Brooks to train a new missionary, we'll see I guess so I'll write on tuesday next week.
today we are in medicine hat with tthe zone for p-day, gonna go curling...sweet.
quote of the week..."there's too many churches in this town, need more liquor stores!"
"would that really make you happy?"
"bottle of vodka would make me happy...it would at least make me dance..."
-Jim, crazy drunkard
I see miracles, the Lord is blessing me every day!
that's really all the time I got this week, keep it crisp
love ya'll, Elder Barton
Seriously love that kid.
So I'm glad to see we've had some successful posts. Let's keep it up.
I want to wish Mom and Steve a Happy Birthday yesterday! Keep on kickin it!
Kelly, my mom just called tell me that she just watched Bear eat a spider in the desert and he said that there was an explosion of puss in his mouth. Gross.
As for me I'm just trying to get to the end of the semester. Hopefully I make it.

This is so exciting. I can't wait to see if I am doing this correctly. Grandpa and I just spent a wonderful few days with the Barton family. It brough back so many memories of traveling with all of you kids when you were small...driving down the road singing and playing games. Taking trips with grandma and all that Jazz. Made me realize once again what I already knew but tend to take for granted is that family is everything. Raising strong children in the gospel is a gift and an opportunity that we should all contribute to and put first and formost on our priority list. I am grateful for a family that supports and helps each other. For the love that we share. Thank you for all that you do for and are to us. We love you all more than you will ever know.
Finally!
I am finally a blogger!! Thanks, Heather, for setting this up. It's going to be awsome! I hope everyone had a great Thanksgiving holiday. The latest word from Nick is that he loves the MTC, he's too busy to be homesick, and he's not sure yet if there are sedatives in the mashed potatoes or not (but the orange juice gives him gas). Thanks, everyone, for all of your support as he was getting ready to go. It sort of makes me happy the absolute maximum amount of times I might have to go through this is two. Love you all. Have a great week.

Thanksgiving
Hello Everybody,
It sounds like most of you had a great holiday weekend. I unfortunately was stuck at work. It would have been fun to watch the football game on Chris's beautiful new plasma. The wrong team won but there is always next year. Chris thanks for putting the video of the boys. It always cracks me up to see stuff like that.
Kelly we are huge discovery channel geeks at our house. Man vs. wild is a pretty cool show but
I like Survivor man better because he is truly all by himself out in the sticks and he is Canadian.
Not a whole lot going on with Vince and I. We had several of my family members over for Thanksgiving and we cook the full on feast. It was good and always fun to hang out and eat and watch movies.
Vince and I just had our 5 year anniversary on Friday. Hard to believeit has been that long already. Seems like yesterday that we were eating dinner at the Grand America. We are going to San Diego this weekend for a friends wedding and to do a little celebrating. That means I won't be at the sister's lunch on Saturday but I will be thinking of all of you.
I am grateful for all of you and all that you do. Have a great week.
