Kids Playing

We had the Davis' over for dinner tonight. It was a ton of fun! I've been feeling like I don't have any friends lately....*sniff* Anyhow, we put the kids in the kitchen with the fishing game and they had a ball! They play so well together (most of the time).

Happy 5th Anniversary!

After a long day of celebrating.....I still love my family more than anything and am so greatful for them!After 5 years we've still got it!!!

So our anniversary was typically uneventful....I was out at my sister's in the am to finish Ryan's gift(we decided to make homemade gifts this year!)Anyhow, on my way home Ryan calls and tells me he thinks that Brynnah's feeding tube isn't working. So when I get home we go to the ER for an x-ray so we can verify that it's not working...If it's not working we have to go to SLC and get it replaced. And of course the doc's here know NOTHING about her feeding tube. So....they try to get ahold of someone in SLC to ask them what to do. And of course there's no one available....so we end up waiting for like 4 hours.....SO much fun right!?! After 4 hours waiting time and nothing done for Brynnah they send us home and tell us someone will be in touch with us on Monday! Can you believe it? Oh....wait we are in Pocatello right? Anyhow, after the whole big fiasco we were totally worn out so we came home and fixed dinner exchanged gifts and watched a movie. It was still great though because I got to spend the WHOLE day with the people I love most!

Heating Pad/Telephone.....?

So the other day Brynnah and I were laying on the couch together....and she totally thought my heating pad was a telephone...she kept saying "hi, hi".

Her current favorite word is "push" So when she sees anthing that might be a button she says "push".....so of course when she was checking out the heating pad....she kept pushing the button and saying "push" I LOVE to hear her talk it is too stinkin cute!

Hasta La Vista BABY!

So we finally got rid of our big fish tank!!! Yeah for us....we did give it fair game though. Here's the story if you don't know it already. About six months ago we bought the fish for Brynnah because she LOVES them! We thought it would be no big deal...boy were we wrong! Fish are really hard to take care of ...as we found out the hard way! Our tank kept turning really green from the algae. We took everything and cleaned it and even bleached it...it would turn green again!!! So finally we decided we'd give it ONE more shot and if it turned green we would get rid of it.....So one of Brynnah's therapists gave them to her mom and in return bought us the Beta(she absolutely adores Brynnah and couldn't bear the thoughts of her going without a Fish!) Hopefully we can keep it alive and algae free!

Party!

I'm having an USBORNE book party on Dec. 4th at 7pm. I'm just posting this in advance because otherwise I'll forget. If you want anything you can get a hold of me and I'll let you know the details! You can also check out the website to see what they have to offer at: www.rockinbooks.com

a very MOMENTOUS occasion

I know this sounds really stupid but I am totally excited! I can fit my hair into a ponytail....I haven't been able to since Brynnah was first born...then I kept chopping my hair off! I know it just barely fits but hey....a ponytail is a ponytail right!?!

Handbag

This post goes out to everyone who asked me how to make the fabulous bag! Sandi, is this what it feels like to be you everyday!?! Anyhow, we got the kits for an enrichment night....all it is is two placemats (sold at walmart) sewn together horizontally one set of stitching around the bottom (right sides together) and another set of stitching up the sides. I put the ribbon accross the top and added pleates, then attached ribbon for the handles. That's it....hopefully it makes sense....if not get ahold of me and maybe I can show you!

Handbag...

I went to my old University Ward's big Christmas Craft night...we all had soooooo much fun! I picked up the stuff to make this bag and modified it ....what do you think? Janelle are you proud of me???

Here I am MODELING my new handbag....i love it!!!!

Haircut!

I have been debating on whether or not to cut Brynnah's hair....as you can see in the pic she has some really long peices on the sides and the back is still trying to catch up..... TaDa.....I don't know if you can even tell or not but I finally cut off the long straggly hairs (there were only like 5!)

These are the last of the Halloween Pics I PROMISE

On Halloween Night we went to my mom's and did Trick or Treat there...then we headed out to my sister's in Inkom....Can you take a wild guess at who we are.....?

Here's a better pic of us before we got all dressed up.... Brynnah with her Auntie Cass

Our little TIGER!

Here we are getting ready for the official Halloween Night...(complete with lip gloss...she saw me put it on and wanted some!) Brynnah is practicing her best "ROAR" for the big night

ISU Carnival

Ok Ok....I know we're no longer students at ISU but how could we pass up a night of fun and candy!?! This pic we went up on stage for a "cutest costume" judging....but....we didn't win I think this was Brynnah's favorite thing at the carnival....FISHING!

She actually sat pretty still when they were painting her face...she got a heart on her cheek!

In this one we're digging for eggs...to turn in for a prize....She was really creeped out by the texture of the sand and wouldn't put her hand in....so it was left up to me to dig for the prize!

I loved these pictures of Brynnah....eating the sucker with the wrapper on...silly girl! While she thought no one was looking....sneaking into her candy!

One of the only picture I got of the Davis kids.....lovely face right?

Trunk or Treat....

We went to the ISU Trunk-or-Treat and had a lot of fun... I loved that Olivia was in her own world....she was good with just eating candy

I LOVE this picture of Kari and Miles....

Actually I loved it so much I put it on here twice!

Carsen made such a cute little MONKEY!

Carving Pumpkins at the Davis'

We had so much fun carving pumpkins...... Everyone hard at work...

Alisha DILIGENTLY working on making delicious donuts for us all! Thanks!

TP fiasco!

So Ryan and I were busy getting ready for a Halloween activity and left Brynnah to do whatever....and after a few minutes alone this is what we found...we're really going to have to baby-proof our home!
