Thanksgiving






It has been a busy November for us and I have been really bad at updating my blog. So sorry for all of you that check it and are frustrated with me.
We all had an awesome time for Thanksgiving. Lisa, Mark and the girls came up from Salt Lake area for the holiday. It was so fun getting to see them and hang out. It has been awhile since we could all just hang out for awhile. We can't believe how big the girls are getting and Samantha is going to be 10 yrs. old on Decemeber 3rd!! They are getting too old!
So we all ate too much yummy food and all are not looking forward to going back to work this week...back to reality is what we all call it :-) I am posting a few pictures of the good time we all had this weekend!! It was sad at times but I know my dad was there with us in spirit. We all miss him so much!!
Hope you all had a wonderful holiday!!!

One month into the helmet



Hello everyone,

Just wanted to update everyone on Brenden wearing his helmet. He had a Dr. appt recently and she was really happy with the progress. The Orthotic person (that shapes his helmet) said today that he is doing really well. So we are all excited!! He doesn't seem to mind wearing it and it really is looking great!! We have placed Boise State Stickers on it as you can see and we get a lot of that's cool!! So we do look forward to the day he doesn't have to wear it but he still looks cute as ever!!

Halloween and Trip to Montana








We took a long weekend and went to Montana for Cora's baby shower. She is expecting a girl in early December.
We flew to Spokane and visited Great Grandma Taylor, Aunt Gayle, Uncle Terry, and Aunt Renee. We stayed with Kelly and went trick or treating with Carter (Who brought long his parent Brooke and Aric :-))
Carter was a Monkey and we dressed up Brenden as a Giraffe. It was sooooo cute.
Carter was tentative at first but once he figured out what to say, he started working people over for extra candy.
The trip to Montana was great. We stayed with Uncle Bob and Aunt Mary, and visited with Uncle Clinton. Larissa and Brooke put together the baby shower for Cora.
It was great to see family. Thank goodness Brenden is a good traveller.
