October Fun so far!

The kids and I were able to visit Skylar at his station and the kids loved every moment!












Slade and Daisy loved talking to each other on the head sets.



Maylee wanted a turn too!





She sure loves her food!

I had to post these. My mom found these for Daisy and she LOVES them! She wore them the next day and ended up stepping on my toe which resulted in part of my toenail coming off. (Sorry tmi...) But I still love them and her.



She has mastered the bike and wants to ride it everyday! But, she has to have her necklace, purse and no pants on everytime.

Dancing!!

Skylar is building a new closet in the spare room. Why, you ask?!? Well, he knocked out the wall of the old closet which exposed the laundry room and built me shelves right there. See pics below...

He also added another shelf above the washer and dryer.

My new shelves!! Five 24 inch shelves. There is so much space it is amazing!

The kids and I made and decorated Halloween cookies! A little early, yes, but SO good!






Slade has asthma and needs to take medication twice a day through the nebulizer. We had just gotten back from a friends birthday party and I came back in the room to find him doing this...

Miss Maylee! She is such a sweetheart and we love her so much! The past 8 months have flown by! She sits by herself, army crawls, has one tooth, waves hi and bye, says dada, hates having head bands on, responds to her name, and babbles all the time. She is still petite for her age as most people think she is 3 or 4 months old, but she is doing great! We just love those cheeks!

Look close and you can see her tooth!

Swine Flu

I have not decided on whether to give my children the swine flu vaccination. I need some thoughts from you guys. My husband will be getting it, but he's a fire fighter and that is a no brainer because he works very close to the general public. So why is it so hard for me to want to give it to my kids?!
Slade is in preschool now and can bring home all sorts of germs. He also has Asthma... He has never had the regular flu vaccination because I am scared of him getting Guillain-Barre' Syndrome. My brother, Austin, got that when he was 15 years old and it was very scary. He is now getting ready to leave for his mission and is doing great, but he was paralyzed and in a wheel chair for a while. Its not hereditary but the thought of it freaks me out.
Daisy has had the regular flu vaccination but she was born early and after talking with her doctor, we decided she needed the added protection. She didn't get the flu last year...
Maylee has not had the vaccination. I just want to know your thoughts and if you are going to get it or have your children receive it. Thanks!
