Hospital stay

Emily gave us quite a scare the second week in Dec.  She had been sick for a few days and was breathing kind of hard.  Devo came home from work and we took her to the clinic.  We thought she just needed some meds to get better.  Well, her oxygen level was at 80. Which apparently is quite bad.  The Doc says we're sending you to x-ray, and to get labs, and she'll need an Iv,  and Stay at the hospital. I was freaking out because this all sounded bad, especially because I thought she was getting better, and Devo wasn't around because he had gotten called to do a c section.  Any ways she ended up staying for two days treated for phnuemonia. It was a rough couple of days but she is good as new now.

She loved getting a ride out to the car in the wheel chair

More Thanksgiving fun

A trip to the bowling alley.  The kids are always excited to go but get a little frustrated because it is not as easy to get a strike as it is while playing the Wii.  Jake was just happy playing with his green ball.

Emily was too big to use the ramp.  I kept waiting for her to drop the ball on her toes. Then we waited and waited and waited as her ball slowly went down the lane.  She had a good time.
We had a lot of time to wait while we all took our turns. Devo ended up the weener! 
Emily loves Lauren.  I don't think we were at their house 10 minutes before Emily was asking her to paint her fingernails and toenails.  Best Buds!

Thanskgiving fun

I'm a little behind.  We went to CA for Thanksgiving.  The boys went golfing in between the rain and Terri and I went to see Twilight.  Of Course no trip to Aunt Terri's is complete with out a trip to the lake to feed the ducks.

Halloween

The trick or treaters are ready. Emily loves Belle's big puffy dress and had to have dark lipstick.  Jake's fire breathing dragon didn't want to blow any fire that night.  He was sick and Dad had to carry him to each house.  Jake liked handing out all the candy at the door.

pumpkin patch

Our family trip to the pumpkin patch at the Red barn turned into two field trips with Mom. Dad got off easy this year.  Emily was more excited about riding the bus for the first time and having mom go with her.  Jake just loves the tractor ride.

Little Get Away

We went on our fall golf get away the end of Sept.  with some friends.  The fall colors were beautiful.  We played Hobble Creek and then spent the night at Johnson's Mill in Midway.  Then we played Wasatch the next morning. Lots of fun and beautiful fall scenery.  We did manage to get some shopping in at the outlets in Park City.

Painting Fun

                                                              Jake likes to help too!

We have been working on finishing the basement.  Devon has been working the hardest.  Emily loved helping paint and was actually pretty good at it.  We are hoping to be finished in a few months. Then our visitors will have somewhere to stay with a little privacy and comfort.

JAKE'S FIRST DAY OF PRESCHOOL

Jake had his first day of preschool on Sept. 3rd, 2008. He did great and went in by himself. He loved showing everyone the gingerbread he colored. After, we went to Reed's for ice cream to celebrate his first day.
