Pictures - Hello November!

1st fire of the season!

Went off roading with Uncle Karl and cousin Emmin. It was so fun. (Thats Reid in our 4Runner)
Uncle Karl found a narrow tunnel under a railroad that we went through in order to do some off roading.





The holidays are approaching us quickly. Every other year we trade off for Christmas and Thanksgiving. This year we will be in Kansas for Thanksgiving which we call Thanksmas because that's when we do Christmas with my family on the off year. We will be in Arizona for Christmas this year and vise versa next year. ;)

Sickness has been going around the family. First, the little girl that I nanny kept coming over with a fever and I kept sending her home... finnally her family took her to the doctor and she ended up having STREP. So I ended up with strep and a heavy dose of meds. Luckly Colton and Anna didn't catch it. I was so upset as I was excited to go help my cute sister in law Edith with her new baby girl that arrived a day early to be born on election day this year. Edith- once our coughs and runny noses go away I'm determined to come hug that cute new niece! 

I'm busy busy busy with my church calling as counselor in the Primary Presidency. We have a up coming service project that we will be doing with the kids on Friday. We are having the kids each put together gift baskets for parents in need that show up to one of the local hospitals last minute with nothing but a shirt on their backs while there kids are in the hospital for a illness or trauma. One of the other counselors works in the ICU and helped us with this service project as she see's a lot of parents that have to go and find a convenience store just to grab a tooth brush because the child was rushed in without much warning. We are also having other neat little stations, I'm in charge of the sugar cookie decorating station for their treat to have while they are there and we will be making "Thankful Tree's" as a neat way to get ready for Thanksgiving.

Reid went and saw a specialist for his ears that actually knows about Meniers desease. There are not many ENT's that know about this disease so when he was able to get an appointment to see one he jumped at the opportunity. The one meniers ENT doctor in Phoenix has a waiting list till April of next year. The doctor told him he will need to make some major life style changes, go to bed at a good time at the same time every night, exercise, and eat this fancy diet.

Colton has not wet the bed in 3 weeks, that's including naps and all night long!!! He has been doing really well with the potty training. This boy is growing like a weed! He is LOVING preschool and has been learning so much. 

Anna is so much like Reid. She is so serious all the time and looks for Reid all day when he is at work. Then when Reid is home she loves to cuddle with him. She is a daddies girl for sure.
