I think this is the first time since we moved here in 2008 that we have seen snow in November. If I loved snow this would be great, but I personally dont. Luckily the kids do and they are very excited!
Emily and I had a Mother Daughter Date. She wanted to go to McDonalds and the Deseret Book Store. It was fun hanging out with my sweet girl.
Joseph had a KOG Zoo at school He chose to rearch and present the Muskrat. He was especially excited when he got to school and a person that saw his project told him that he was a professional that works with Muskrats everyday. He dressed up and even went and clipped a rose off of one of our bushes. He wan't required to dress up but I could tell it boost his confidence.

| Isaac found an old Davy Crocket costume the day after Halloween and said he wished he was Davy Crocket for Halloween. |
Also on Halloween, Emily had to get a filling at the Dentist. Ally and Andy played with their Leap Pad's and were very good.
For Halloween Joseph had crazy hair and sock day. He decided to combine his idea and even ended up on his schools Facebook page.

Ben had his first ever Middle School Band concert. He was excited and played the Clarinet very well. We were happy to go watch him as a family.
I saw this picture of Isaac on his bulletin board at school for his class reading a lot of minutes. He is in the front, right black shirt.
Family Pumkins. Joseph carved and painted koopa from Mario Brothers, Benjamin painted a white classic pumpkin, Emily painted a self potrait on her pumpkin, Isaac carved and painted Soran tower from Lord of the rings, and Ally and Andy had fun painting a ton of colors on top of colors.
This is Eric's pumpkin
Ally was excited to meet the princess. When the lady knelt down to say hi, Ally thought she needed to copy her. Family Trick or Treating on the 28th down town. It was hectic and won't happen again. 7 candies in an hour. Not worth the time. But it was another memory.
Joe, Godzilla, was pretending to eat Ally the Paw Patrol, and Ben the ranger was going to stop him.

Emily had her tonsils and Adenoids removed on September 20th. Her class wrote her get well notes, which she cried when she read. She told me I didn't even know these kids liked me. After 10 days of recovery, she went back to school. She had many friends excited to see her.

Joseph had a great 10th birthday. He got to celebrate twice. His birthday was on a Wednesday and he chose to celebrate on Monday the holiday so he could have dad be home to celebrate with him. I bet he would have changed his mind if he remembered his annual daddy spankings.

Eric and Joe went to a dustdevils game.
While the other kids started the first day of school on Tuesday Isaac didn't start school till Thursday. We decided to get one last fun in the sun in at the splash park the older boys don't like.

First day of school
The results after my surgery. Eric's mom came up and helped take care of me and the kids follwoing my August 21st surgery. Surgery went really well. it was the best. Eric wasn't able to be here he was out of town for training. They took me back, I remember the anesthesoligst telling me the iv was going to burn and then I woke up to them saying we were done. It was fast and the best case scenario. My Aunt Susan picked me up from surgery, took care of me and the kids that night. The next day my friend Careina Brooks came and helped me and then Jill came and took over. I was blessed beyond measure throughout this process.
August 21st, Eclipe! Our area so 96% coverage. It was neat.
