A First Word

So I think Cameron has said his first official word. Watch the video to see what it was. I bet you won't be surprised.

Thanksgiving Week

I LOVE this week. I truly love thinking about all the things I am thankful for and for the excitement of the coming Christmas season. I have been a not my best Mom this past week and so it is good for me to not think about how exhausted these little ones make me some days and think about how amazing it is to be their Mom. They test and try me but the joy and complete love they bring into my life far outweighs the hard moments.

Isn't this picture of Rob great?!
I just had to of course include him in my thankful post.

Into Everything

Here is Cam in the pantry having a fun time. Memo to self...must remember to close the pantry door.

Guess Who Has A Broken Wrist?

That is right, this kiddo. He feel off the slide in our back yard and sure enough broke his wrist. He was in a lot of pain, and not a happy guy we felt bad for him. This morning we had it xrayed as sure enough a cast is what was ordered. Luckily it didn't have to go up over the elbow.

Here he is getting it wrapped up.

And the finished product, a bright neon green cast. The downside is that he HATES it. The first thing he did when we walked in the door is grab the scissors and try to cut it off. I think it is going to be a long 4 weeks, wish me luck.

Guess Who Is 2 Grams Lighter?

That is right this guy is. On Monday he had his appendix removed and it was a whopping 2 grams. Amazing how something so small can cause so much pain. The patient came home Tuesday morning and is doing very well. He worked at home this week in theory to take it easy, but I told him I think that he actually worked more than he normally does.
So long appendix, we won't miss you.

Happy Early Birthday Cam

We couldn't wait any longer, and I think Cam was feeling left out of the October birthday fest, so he got his present a few weeks early. I think he likes it!

Our Halloween Week

Our week of Halloween fun began last week with a Trunk or Treat at our church. They at a chili cook off and then let the kids trunk or treat.

Jack was a Clone Warrior from the Star Wars Clone Series. He was very serious and often in character all through out the week.

Even Cameron got into his monkey character.

Jack had a great Halloween program at pre-school and it was so much fun. They had prepared so many songs and fun poems to share and each child told a fun Halloween joke. Jack did great and everyone laughed at this joke.
Here is how it goes...What did the skeleton say to his food? Bone appetite!

Jack with his great pre-school teacher Mrs. Brooks.

We all went out to Aunt Jeni's work on Friday to trick or treat with her co-workers. They had decorated their office and had lots of fun treats for the kids. Doesn't Jeni look great in her Belle costume?!? She even made it all by herself.

We stayed in SLC and went to Red Butte Gardens Halloween fun. It was a great night to be outside and Jack had so much fun playing Star Wars with Rob all over the gardens.

Nanna helps to keep Jack warm as we finished up our night at Red Butte.

We finally got around to carving our pumpkin! Jack wanted to make a happy jack-o-lantern and we were happy to comply.

The finished product! Great job Rob and Jack.
As time came around to go trick-or-treating the rain started and it wasn't a sprinkle it was a downpour, with some wind which meant we probably weren't going to be making it out. We decided to go watch the Utah football game in SLC w/Nanna & Grandad instead. At halftime we headed out for some trick or treating as the rain had stopped and had a fun night going to a few houses. The Utes won the football game, and Jack got some good candy so we were all happy!!
HAPPY HALLOWEEN EVERYONE!!
