Family Photos

So we finally did our annual fall photos, and I personally think that they turned out really great. Brynnah was having a fun time with the leaves. We didn't have time to go up one of the canyons like we wanted to, but they look great anyways.

We are also getting ready to try and do the San Diego trip again next week, so everybody keep their fingers crossed that nothing will happen this time. We will be posting some photos from that trip once we return.
Everybody is doing really well. I have doing a lot of canning this fall. Lots of jam and applesauce and I will be helping a friend with some grapes.
Ryan got his deer during archery season but missed his elk. They saw a lot of elk but only one that would give him a shot opportunity. Maybe next year.

We hope that everyone is doing well and is enjoying the fall weather.

You know I've decided that we really need internet at our house!!!! I hate that I can only update about once a month ...if I'm lucky! So lets see first things first...we had Brynnah's Birthday party on the 3rd of October and it was a blast. We did a jungle animal theme and Brynnah loved every minute of it! I made her cake this year and it actually turned out really cute...despite my lack of cake decorating talents! She of course got spoiled she got tons of clothes, not one but two doll houses! Not to mention a bunch of littlest pet shop toys! We had a good turn out of people and of course I think the big hit this year was the pinata (it was a monkey this year!) Even Brynnah got to take a swing this year! Last tue. the 6th we headed to SLC where the make a wish foundation put us up in a motel then we were to fly out the next morning....little did we know that Brynnah's body of course had other plans! I should have mentioned before that she had been fighting a bout of the flu/cold for the previous couple weeks. Her symptoms kept getting worse and I ended up calling her physician and the kidney docs in SLC. Unfortunately they had us go to the ER where we stayed enduring horrible tests and lots of "pokes"(as brynnah would say) we were there for 7 1/2 hrs. They finally decided to admit her to the floor where we were there for almost a week! So we totally missed our trip to San Diego...bummer! But we did get it rescheduled maybe next week or the week after! They really didn't find much while we were in the hospital...she got diagnosed with a UTI that progressed into her kidney, at one point they thought kidney rejection which scared us all! But then they found that she had a trace of rhino-virus and they figured between the two it was too much for her already poor immune system and poor little body. She hasn't had any fevers going on day 3 now!!! So overall we had a great time! ha! Thank you all for your love and support. Your calls and prayers! We love you more than we can ever express!
