Halloween



Ok Halloween this year I have really realized how having a Dad again means so much to the girls.  This was their idea and as they went from house to house they had so much fun telling everyone who they were.  Then when it was picture time they did: dad sweeping mom off her feet and mom and dad kisssing...ewww...according to them so funny!!!
We have also started our Christmas shopping and they have had so much fun buying presents for their Dad.  I asked them what they want for Christmas and they both had the same answer...we got what we really wanted...we got a Dad...WOW...that just warms my heart...I LOVE my sweet little family.

Vertigo

Ok so first of all lets start with how this all started....my parents, my cousin Connie, Uncle Bill and I went to California to see the quads get baptized it was a great weekend.  Well the day we are to head home I wake up and turn over in bed to look at my cute nephew and the whole room starts to spin...so much so that I fall out of the bed.  I stand up really fast and just about fall over so I lay down in the middle of the room.  The room is spinning so fast and my heart start pounding and I can't breathe and the next thing I know I am going into all out anxiety attack mode.  My Dad and brother come and give me a blessing while I am hanging my head in the toilet by finally I stop shaking and can breathe again.
Well we have to go home so with my head in a garbage bag we head out...me throwing up the whole way and as long as my head is down the room doesnt spin too much.  We get to Fillmore but have to stop for my mom who was having problems with an infection.  I get out of the car to breathe and it starts even worse so I get checked into the hospital where they treat me for VERTIGO...first of all I have heard of this but it is a million times worse then I could have ever imagined!!!  I end up having to have 2 shots and stay overnight and have to be given 4 bags of fluids due to dehydration.  The next day we finish the trek home and I have to wait until Tuesday to be seen by the doctor on base and was given meds to help with this vertigo crap.  Well here it is a month later and during the day I am better but every night it starts again so I am just taking a pill before bed and seem to be doing ok.

Organizing the Girls Room


Ok so we decided to do our fall cleaning and organizing.  The girls room was a MESS...after two bags of garbage and two bags of clothes to donate this was the finished project.  Next we will be going through all the rest of the crap and getting rid of the stuff we dont need anymore...time to dejunk!!!

sixth grade project

 For sixth grade this year all the students had to put together a haunted house.  This was Shelbys finished project and I think it turned out pretty darn good.  I think the dirt added just the touch she needed.

Frightmares



We had lagoon season passes this year and I am sad to say we are done with Lagoon after our last day there...it was alot of fun though.  Shelby brought a friend so everyone had someone to ride with.  The funny thing was there were scary people walking around dresses up.  Shaylee decided to run her mouth and then the chainsaw guy turned around and looked at her...as you can see in this picture he DID scare her a little...LOL!!!

The happiest day of my life


















Every girl imagines in their head what their wedding day will be like.  I have dreamed of this day since I was 12....it was like a fairy tale...the perfect man the perfect dress, the perfect day.  Minus the family that was unable to make it due to very short notice I would not change a thing.  We got engaged on Friday and married on Monday....due to his upcoming deployment we figured why wait?  We have been together for 2 and 1/2 years now so that's what we did.  We will have a reception at a later date so all our family and friends can be there.  Mark, I love you so much.  You have come in and made our family whole again.  You are the man of my dreams and I look forward to spending the rest of my life as your wife.
