OCTOBER-NOVEMBER 2013

 

So many fun things to catch up on, but here's our highlights....

 

 

HAPPY 10TH BIRTHDAY BRAXTON!! Braxton's friend Thomas came bowling with us.  The people at the bowling alley gave him a bowling pin for all of us to sign which was pretty cool.  We ate pizza and played the arcades.

 

I spent the day in Vegas at the SDMS Ultrasound conference and came home late to find the cutest sign on the front door!

 

After watching General Conference, we drove out to Anazazi Valley to see the Shivwitts band ( of the Piute Indian tribe) learning center.  They have a bunch of teepees, wigwams, and other structures to look in and see how their tribe lives.  One of their tribal elders was a home health patient of Troy's and they invited us out.

Troy made the front page of the 'Living' section of the Spectrum newspaper.  One of Troy's home health patients was featured in a story about his heath problems so they interviewed the patient while Troy was there giving antibiotics. We had at least a dozen articles that people had saved for us.  Pretty awesome!

 

Poor Tanner fell on the blacktop at school during recess and was quite banged up...fat lip, black eye, and lots of scrapes.  When the school called to tell me what had happened and how he looked, I didn't imagine it being this bad! It took a couple days to carefully wash all the tar out of his chin and lips.

Fun Sunday hike

Camrie's Butterfly daycare class held their Thanksgiving feast on our day off, so we went in for it and her teachers were so nice to let Kason join in on the celebration.  They ate popcorn, beef jerky, craisins, and drank applejuice and sang some Thanksgiving songs.

We took our fun neighbors to the opening of the St. George Children's museum and had a blast! So many fun things to see and do.  Braxton, Connar, and Kylee are participating in the magnet demonstration.  Last spring we went to the new children's museam in Vegas and loved it so we were excited for our to open since everything came from the old Vegas museaum

Kason loves the grocery store and could spend the entire time there filling up the basket and restocking the shelves.

We milked 'Maggie' the cow

Tanner and Cordin dressed up in colonial outfits and signed the Declaration of Independance

Thanksgiving was in Beaver at Aunt Valerie's house.  Troy worked and Braxton was with his Dad, so it was just me and the little ones.  We had fun playing with cousins, petting Aunt Valerie's horses, and building gingerbread houses.  Tanner was so excited to be big enough to have a real gingerbread house to decorate all by himself, and Camrie and Kason did great with their graham cracker houses.  We are so thankful for our fun Grandma who makes all the houses for us to decorate every year!
