has come on gone in a blink of an eye...
Here's a quick recap...
*Mike came home from a 10 + day hunting trip in Colorado. With a nice deer...
*I got a long awaited and much saved for present...a new camera!
*Finished up A's soccer season with a few good wins and it was super fun to watch them start playing as a team.
*My sweet S has turned 6. WHAT?!?!?! 6 really?!?!
*The kids and I drove to UT for J's cardiac ablation (his heart procedure to get rid of his tachycardia)
*Raked and played in a huge amount of leaves from Grandma Clegg's front yard.
*Luis (our extra "child" who is now 19 and soon to go on his mission to Brazil) and I tackled the mission paper/Visa TO DO list.
*Saw Grandma and Grandpa Clegg's tombstone (they bought it and have it laid in their plots).
*Mike joined us in UT a day before J's procedure.
*We celebrated S's birthday.
*Spent two days at Primary Children's Hospital in SLC for J's procedure (which went perfectly); really felt the love of our Heavenly Father and His tender mercies.
*Had a fabulous early Thanksgiving in UT with Mike's family who is around.
*Traveled home in multiple snow storms (Mike drove the whole way).
*Spent two days unpacking (or NOT unpacking and just trying to recover) to prepare for our Thanksgiving guests...Chris, Vanessa, and their two little ones and Misty, Phil, and their two little ones.
*Did the Thanksgiving thing here: ate too much pie, stayed up too late to play games, watched fun movies, and enjoyed lots of time with family. We were bummed that Chris and Vanessa had to leave early, due to their baby getting sick, but we are glad he is aright.
*Then, we recovered from Thanksgiving.
Here are the photos...
D loves to sleep with J and will sneak into his bed any chance he gets. And he is not a good bed sharer...
wahoo!! I LOVE it!
Snow on our drive to UT, luckily, since I was sans Mike, it was just on the side and very pretty to look at, none on the roads.
D truly enjoying the fun of fall leaves
This is my nephew enjoying a snooze and some creamery ice-cream.
Love these guys!
Mike and Luis... I believe this is at around 1:00 a.m. They had a really great time reading over all the mission stuff and talking.
Grandma Clegg made this birthday girl a very special cake, topped with marshmallows (her wish).
The reason for our UT trip. After years of dealing with tachycardia for my oldest, he decided to have the ablation procedure done. Here he is distracting himself before they take him to put him under. Wii bowling. Which after the Doc saw the vigor in which he bowled, she said that it was definitely on the list of activities he could not participate in for a week.
Her concentration while folding the napkins cracked me up. :) She took her assignment VERY seriously.
Three days after J's heart procedure it snowed it UT. He proceeded to have a snowball fight with his siblings, in which, I stood in the door and yelled repeatedly, "J, you can't run..." or "Don't throw THAT hard..." etc. He was feeling fine!
Modern medicine is amazing. and his doctor rules!!
We were greeted with MORE snow upon arriving home.
With all our little house guests coming I figured I needed to stock up.
Pie making.
Happy Thanksgiving!
These are our itouch/iphone junkies!
Coloring at the table...properly dressed and all! :)
You know you have kids when your living room decor consists of pet shops and stuffed animals.
They have since all been put back in their "proper" homes.
Hope you all had a marvelous November!
