Halloween 2010


Got looking through all of our posts and we are a little behind, the kids really enjoyed Halloween and we were out in the rain in the neighborhood over 2 hours, needless to say they were a little tired when we got home.

First Concert

Apparently I have forgotten to blog about August and September too. haha Well I will find some fun things we did as a family and possibly post some late blogs about that.
Ryan was out of town for work and when he got home I had decided that we needed to do something as a family. One of my old friends from EFY way back...said something on Facebook to me about his brother's singing group I grew up listening to and loving the music having a concert in Sandy. I was ALL there! I called Ryan and told him that him and I were definitely going to go. Then I got to thinking about it and I decided that we would take the whole family and sit on the lawn with a picnic and blanket for the concert. It was a fun night and the kids really liked being there for the music...their first concert. We bundled up since it was just cooling down and had a wonderful night listening to some great music from Colors. Rylee still gets in the car and asks "Can we listen to the concert music?" Love that girl! A night we won't forget as a family and having some great family time together!

GV Witches 2010

During October we also met up with some friends to go look for the witches at Gardner Village. We were in the same ward/neighborhood before we both decided to move just over a year ago. Of course we still like to get together and hang out since our kids are the same ages! We had a great time with Trista, Sabrina, Blake and Miri! We definitely need to make sure we do this every year! :)
The kids playing on the bridge.

Apparently Rylee thinks that Miri is her sister in this picture. They love to push the strollers around. Thanks for a fun time!!

October zoomed by......

I cannot believe that it has been over a month since I blogged! The month of October went by way too fast but maybe because we were extremely busy for most of it. Sydnee has gotten so big way too fast but I have been trying to eat every moment of these short stages up! She started sitting up in early October right around 6 months. She never stops moving and I can't even imagine how busy she will be when she is actually able to get around our house! Since the middle of September she had been constantly sick with a grand total of 3 ear infections! We couldn't even tell she had an ear infection most of the time because she has been the BEST baby! So sweet all the time.
On the 29th of October she had to have tubes put in both of her ears early in the morning. My mom came over really early to be with the other 2 kids while Ryan and I took her up the PCMC where Dr. Child put tubes in her ears. She was such a trooper since she was 3rd in line and by the time she went back to surgery she was a hungry girl! She was too hungry to even sit by me...Ryan had to hold her and he had to sit clear across the room from me so she wouldn't fuss for me. It was such a fast procedure that I didn't have much time to worry. She woke up crying (welcome to our family and anethesia: thanks to mommy!) but after a good nap in her bed she was back to normal! We were even home in time to go to Nate's Halloween parade at the elementary school. I think the next night she was sleeping all the way through the night! Wahoo for tubes! We love our Syd and are so glad her ears are feeling better.
Nate and Rylee have been going nonstop with school, dance for Rylee, Halloween parties, playing with friends and being great helpers at home! I was doing dishes one night and they both decided they wanted to help. They learned how to dry and where to even put some of the dishes away. Gotta start 'em early in this chore! LOL Give momma a break every once in a while! Not many pictures of the older kids here but lots of Syd...I will be posting more pictures soon from of October.
