Halloween 2009

We had a GREAT Halloween!!!!
Saturday, the 31st, was also my cousin Matthew's baptism. We are so glad we got to go! We headed out to Santaquin in the afternoon for the baptism, good food, and fun with my Aunt and cousins. Thanks for having us! After the bday party was over, we changed into our costumes. We went trick or treating to my Aunt's house, my Uncle's parents' trailer, and Barbara, the good neighbor!!! We even went to a little haunted house some neighbors had set up in their garage. After we left Santaquin, we went to visit Sam and Jessica and played some Beatles Rockband. We are so blessed to have such wonderful family and friends!!!!

AZ Trip

On October 1st, Bryson and I drove down to AZ with my Aunt Leslie and cousin Nathan. I had been planning on going down to visit family for a while, but nothing worked out, until this! It was perfect!
We were able to stay with my parents and have some fun with Bryson's cousins and my siblings. We were planning on staying for 2 weeks. That didn't happen. The time we did spend there was so fun! We played lots of games and hung out with family. I ended up flying back on Wednesday, the 7th, because Brenton had emergency surgery. I left Bryson in AZ with my parents, and Brenton's parents drove him up on Saturday. Thanks so much for the help! Here are a few of the few pics I took while down there.
Zane and Hunter
Bryson, Hunter, Zane, and Jerrdan..... this was the best pic I could get of all 4.
Judd and Bryson.... Judd became Bryson's best friend for letting him play with the laptop.
See, best friends. haha.
Bryson playing on the computer. Silly boy loves computers!

Brenton's Emergency

Brenton had to have an emergency appendectomy on Wednesday evening. It was very serious. I don't want to get into too many details right now, but I will probably post them later. As I sit here next to Brenton sleeping in his hospital bed, I wanted to give thanks for the blessings we have received these last few days. First, we feel so grateful to a Heavenly Father who is watching over Brenton and knew exactly when he needed to go to the dr. and the hospital. It wasn't too late to catch his nasty infection and appendicitis. He has watched over our family. Next, I'm so thankful for all the wonderful nurses and doctors who have assisted with Brenton in his diagnosis, surgery, and now his recovery. They have been the best. I am forever grateful for the earthly angels that have assisted us in EVERY way these last few days, whether helping to take care of Brenton, me, or Bryson. I have compiled a list which I won't post right now, but just know that you all hold a special place in my heart. Thank you a million times for your service and care. We could not make it through these times without you. I feel so blessed and extremely grateful. THANK YOU!

Heading to Warmer Weather....

Today! My trip to AZ got bumped up a little, but that's ok. I'm sad to leave my sweet husband, miss our mission reunion, conference weekend with the hubby, but that's ok! Warmer weather and family and friends in AZ here we come!!!!
