Thanksgiving!

Thanksgiving......

My mom, dad, brother and sister came out for thanksgiving. Unfortunatley my other brother and sister could not come but we had a great time. We had a very relaxing thanksgiving day, then on Friday we took them out to see where Brandon works and proceeded to get lost on our way back, as Brandon thought it would be a good idea to take the back roads....haha. Saturday we went to Lamoille and took some pictures.

He wanted to go outside so bad!

He had lots of fun with Aunt Randi

9 months!

Where has the last 8 months gone.....my baby turned 9 months old last week. He is growing like a weed! He had his 9 month check up today, he is a BIG boy! He is 21.6 lbs-66%, 29 3/4 inches-75% and his head is 18 3/8 inches-85%. He is not as big as aspen was in comparison to percentiles but is about the exact same as far as weight and height. Not head....her's was much bigger! haha He didn't have to have any shots this time. Just a check. He does have an ear infection, but I already knew that. I have been talking to my Chiropractor about the kids, as i have heard that chiropractic care helps with ear infections. He told me to bring the kids in, as they both have ear infection problems, and Aspen snores like her Papa!! So they went in on monday morning and got adjusted. They both did really well. I am in hopes that this will help and will prevent any more infections and possibly prevent any tubes being put in! Its a much less invasive fix! And I do not like giving them antibiotics all the time! I asked Aspen monday afternoon how her back was doing and she replied...."its pretty great mom" On a brighter note, I know that its helped already as we have not had any bears sleeping in her room anymore!!

Surgery update!

This friday is my 5 week mark for post surgery, I am doing good. I had my 1st post op check up this week. Dr got my pathology report back and it was confirmed that I had Adenomysis. Other than that he thinks I am doing good. I go back in 3 weeks and have another check up!

surgery.....

I had my surgery on October 30. It went very well, and I am proud to say that I never had to take any percauset. I was able to manage my pain on 3 advil every 8 hours!!! Woohoo for me! haha. For those that don't know, I had a hysterectomy. The Dr removed my cervix and uterus, left my ovaries so that my body is not thrown into menopause. I have not received a pathology report back yet to confirm what the dr thinks. But I had it removed because I have adenomyosis. Adenomyosis is uterine thickening that occurs when endometrial tissue, which normally lines the uterus, moves into the outer muscular walls of the uterus. There is no treatment except for removal. So that is what we did. So we are officially done having children. Just means I get to spoil neices and nephews that much more! :) I am 6 days post surgery today and I am feeling pretty good. I can't laugh or sneeze without pain, but I am walking vertically as the dr says so that is great news! I go back on Dec 1 for another check up and then again on Dec 15 will keep you posted on them!

Halloween

The trick or treaters!!
My little goblins!

He wanted the "guts"

Getting ready to carve pumpkins!

Halloween was fun! Aspen went trick or treating all around the neighborhood. My mom was here so she had lots of fun with Gramma! She had a halloween party at school on Thursday and she had so much fun. I helped this year, and it was much better than last years! She actually participated in all the games. Very interesting to see her interact with the kids in her class. She is very mature! :)

Kids fall pictures!

Dallas VS Denver

He goes all the way!!!!!!!!!!!

Aspen's favorite...She says "I love Tomy Romo forever"

Loads of fun!!!!!

Las Vegas!

The kids and I went to Las Vegas September 23-26 for my cousin's wedding! We had so much fun considering we were all on antibiotics! Breckin and Aspen both had double ear infections and I had strep! There was so much family there, the kids were spoiled rotten! M&M World

Island Lake Hike

At the top!

We hiked to Island Lake last weekend. The kids did great! We took the dogs and they were wore out before we hit 1/2 mile of the 2 miles up. Aspen played in the water when we got up there, and on our way back down it started raining on us. Unfortunatley this will probably be the last hike of the summer! :(

Preschool

Going to preschool

Her first day of preschool was sept 8. She did so great, we got there and she walked right in, hung up her backpack and walked off. Didn't even tell me good bye. Then I made her come give me a hug and tell me bye! When I got there to pick her up she was very excited to see us. She was talking to Breckin in the backseat on the way home, and said "its ok brother, I was just at school I wasn't going to be gone forever"

1st Annual Labor Day Camping trip

We met my family in Flaming Gorge, Utah over Labor Day weekend. It was BEAUTIFUL out there and we couldn't of had better weather or a better camp site. It was Breckin's first camping trip! He did great, he LOVES being outside. Aspen enjoyed spending time with her sidekick Cooper! They are two peas in a pod!

Ending the summer with a round a pictures!

Kim's Senior pictures!

My gorgeous sister! She came out here for Breckin's Baptism and so I took some senior pictures for her! They turned out great!! So hard to believe she is a senior this year! Makes me feel REAL old!

Baptism

Breckin was baptized on August 23, 2009 at Faith Lutheran Church here in Elko. Kim, my sister, was his Godmother. It was a great service and he was all smiles for the church to enjoy!
