Happy Thanksgiving!

I hope everyone had a wonderful Thanksgiving holiday with family and friends. We got to spend it up north in the cold weather. We went to Grace Lodge Wed-Fri and had a great time with Scott's parents and his brother and family. The lodge is on Rainbow Lake in Lakeside, AZ which is about 3.5 hours NE of the Phoenix area.

Anyone else with the winter crud?

Not sure what the deal is, but we have all been sick this month. Between the four of us, we've had the regular flu, stomach flu, bronchitis, chronic coughs and colds. Poor Scott got it all this year and he never gets sick!! He's still fighting that nasty cough, so his Dr. wants him to get a chest x-ray or some more antibiotics! Here's a pic of Rhys doing his breathing treatments. He has had a chronic cough too, but fortunately it has cleared up this week...

Happy Birthday, Scott!!

Scott turned 31 on November 13th. We went to Joe's Farm Grill for dinner with the family. After dinner we came back here and had root beer floats and pizzookies (half-baked cookie dough with ice cream on top). Yum!

Ugghh....the flu/cold

So, it has been nuts around here with the whole flu/cold thing....Scott and I have been fighting a cold for about 2-3 weeks. Last week, Scott's cold morphed into the flu and he was home sick 3 days with fever, chills, body aches, etc. Rhys has had a nice cough going for about 3 weeks. I took him to the pediatrician this a.m. and he is now on breathing treatments (got his flu shot too). Scott is at the docs as I write and Ethan is in bed right now with the stomach flu. He has got a nice little temp, plus has spent the last 24 hours throwing up. Fun, fun....Hopefully we'll all be feeling better by next week for Thanksgiving...

Happy Halloween!

Sorry it has taken me so long to post our Halloween pics! We had a great time trick or treating in grandma and grandpa's neighborhood. The boys made out like bandits, coming home with about 5 lbs of chocolate. Yum....err...I mean, yeah, they liked it :). I didn't steal all the Kit Kats....
