Kids

Here are some pictures of our kids. The only picture I have of all the kids together was when Peyton was still in the hospital. It is sad. I thought I should do a little better. So here are some pictures. Here are all the kids. So happy.

Our boys. I don't think Parker knew what to think with Gabe hugging him so tight.

Sisters. MaKyra is so happy to have a sister.

I would have taken Peyton's pacifier out but this is what happened when I did.

MaKyra discover Rainbow Magic books through her school book orders. They are such cute books. We have been reading hers at night and she loves it. There is a big series of them. Check out the website www.rainbowmagiconline.com. The books are about two girls that help the fairies when the evil Jack Frost tries to upset the fairies world. I think most little girls would love these books.

Happy Halloween!

Halloween was really fun this year. Usually we have our ward "Trunk or Treat" on Halloween night but this year it was during the week. Parker was sick so we didn't go but Friday night we were feeling great. Every year we trick-or-treat to my mom's office (pictures). Then we went to a community trunk-or-treat and then we hit the streets. I lived out in the country growing up and we didn't walk from house to house on Halloween. We had to drive. This Halloween was my first time walking around the neighborhood. It was so much fun. Our kids loved it. It was great to see people from our ward out trick-or-treating. These are my only Halloween pictures even though there were several Halloween parties during the week: Katie and Brent had a kid Halloween party and had an grown-up Halloween party a few days after. Then MaKyra did go to our ward party with neighbors. We attended the school carnival. Our kids also had Halloween parties in school on Halloween and then trick-or-treating. Needless to say our candy loot is large. It was a lot of fun though.

Water Falls

Last week we went up to the mountains to see some waterfalls. There was a nice little walking path down to the falls. It was beautiful. All the trees were changing colors. The kids loved it. It was nice to get outside and moving.

Well Baby

Peyton had a doctors appointment today. She is doing well. She weighs 8 lbs 4 oz. The doctor said because of how well she is doing she is now considered a "well-baby" and will be treated normally. She will just have normal check-ups now. We are very grateful for how she is growing and doing. She is such a sweet little baby.

Peyton at Home

Peyton was welcomed home with open arms. My mom was able to hold her for the first time. Gabe loves holding her so does MaKyra. Parker takes his turn holding her for about 3 seconds and then he is done. It has been great having her home. She is doing great. She had a check up yesterday and all is well. Her heart and lungs sound great. She is eating and growing well. We have been so blessed.

Peyton Came Home

Peyton came home last Friday. We were so excited. These are pictures at the hospital right before we left. We are so grateful for the hospital staff that helped us the past week. They were so great. I was impressed with all the doctors and nurses. Thanks again for all your thoughts and prayers.
