My appendix is gone!!!

I am feeling soooo much better today after a long yucky week last week. First I had some nasty side pain so we went to the Dr. I had blood work, CT Skans 3 of them, 2 ultrasounds, and a bunch of pushing and prodding on my belly. They couldn't see anything wrong with all of those tests so they decided to take my appendix out. I haven't spoken to the Dr I see him tomorrow but he told Lance my appendix was Fibrotic which I think means hard tissue or something. So anyhow I will update tomorrow after I see him. I really hope the side pain stays away and that this has solved my problem. I am so thankful for loving family who cared about me and also for an AWESOME mom who came over every morning to help with the kids, laundry, lifting Braysen who weighs a ton, you name it she did it for me, I love you mom!!!! Lance has been amazing also!!! He took care of the kids cooked dinner made sure I had what I needed and was just a great help to me I love you Babe!!!It has been hard to hold Braysen and when he gets a bump Brinlee is right by his side for me. I have an amazing friend who took my kids for me and made us dinner. I am really lucky to have such an awesome support system out here!!!!! I love you all!!! Thanks so much!!

Braysen is walking!!!!

Halloween

We had such a great Halloween this year!!! The kids had their little parade at school and then their party. We went out trick-or-treating right after school which was wonderful!!! We were done and back home by 5:00!!! Then we cooked our Halloween dinner with Jack-o-lantern orange bowls, spicy bat chicken wings, bones made of breadsticks and yummy sugar cookies from grammie!!!! Braxton was a skeleton, Brinlee was supergirl, and Braysen was a lion. Nice that I bought his costume WAY to early because he grew so fast that by Halloween it hardly fit him. But that was ok it was so cold I didn't even take him out to trick-or-treat!!! But he was so good to keep his costume on for awhile and he even left the lion hat on. Thanks also to Grandma Leavitt for all the fun things that you sent to the kids they loved it!!!!

PJ's and Bedtime

I love nighttime!!! Our routine is what makes the night go by so much smoother!!! We eat dinner, get our tubbing done, we read the scriptures, say prayers, brush our teeth and then off to bed!!! One picture is of Braysen trying to climb through the coffee table. I think I am going to have a climber GREAT!!!!!

More pics of Braysen

Here are a few pics of Braysen. One of them is him in his little crawl tunnel he has. He just loves to sit inside of it and look at books. Another is of him in his saucer. I put him in there when I can't keep up with him anymore!!! The kids put him in Brinlees blanket one night and were swinging him they thought that was so neat. Another pic is of Braysen with the heater remote. Daddy has a remote so he had to have his too!!!!
