Thanksgiving Fun







So this past weekend we had lots of fun celebrating Thanksgiving. Ryan's mom was in town and we were able to spend some quality time with her. We took the kids to see my grandma for the first time since her surgery on Thanksgiving. She was happy to see them and they were the hit of the nursing home. My grandma is doing good and we are going to start arranging to bring her home in the next week hopefully. We were able to get our house all set up for Christmas this weekend. Kendall loved all the decorations and is finally knows how Santa is. She is going to be tons of fun on Christmas. Well, I hope everyone had a wonderful and safe holiday.

New Playset











So this weekend Ryan and Grandpa Tim finally finished the kids playset. This was an early christmas gift from Grandma & Grandpa. Now all Kendall wants to do is go down the slide. I unfortunately caught the flu the kids had all week so I was not involved in all the exitement yesterday. Other than that, we have no big news to report. We are gearing up for Thanksgiving and looking forward to some good meals. Ryan's mom is coming into town so it will be nice to visit with her. Then we are going to the Valdez house for Thanksgiving (which I am really looking forward to). Hope everyone has a wonderful, family filled Thanksgiving. Hopefully more pics to come next week.

Thearpy...Thearpy...Thearpy

Lately, it feels like all I do is go to work and take Gavin to thearpy. He goes to a physical, occupational and speech thearpist one hour each three days a week. I know it is helping him but is sure does wear me out. I know it wears him out also and I just feel so bad for him sometimes. He has gone through so much in his short life and I wish him a month without any doctors or thearpist.
Since I created this blog, I know I haven't put up any pictures of the kids. I will try to take some this weekend. We have all been on and off sick for the past two weeks. Yuck! Well, check back next week for some new pictures.

Wild Fires




So this weekend was full of lots of wild fires in Orange County. Some were close to home but luckily we were safe from danger. We just got pounded with smoke. One of the fires came really close to our old house in Anaheim Hills, we would have been evacuated. The other fires hit neighborhoods we looked to move to also. We talked last night and said it was meant to be that we lived in this house away from all the fires.

Tired...tired...tired

It seems since Oct. 31 when my grandma had hip replacement surgery it feels like I have been going none stop. Between Kendall and I being sick and visiting my grandma every day, I'm exhausted. Grandma is doing okay, we are bringing her home hopefully this week so this will lift her spirits. Well, nothing else to report this week.

Happy Halloween





So we had a very busy Halloween day. I started my day at the hospital for my grandma's hip replacement surgery. She did great and is a lot of pain right now as expected. After the hospital, I went home and visited with Ryan's dad & Wanda until we could get the kids dressed. My mom, Tim and grandma then came over and we went Trick or Treating around our neighborhood. The kids had so much fun this year. Kendall picked it up quickly and kept saying, "okay we go now, more candy." Here are some pictures of us Trick or Treating.
