Happy Birthday Jeff!

If anyone knows my husband, then you know he doesn't like a big fuss over birthdays. He made me promise him that I wouldn't get him anything....except "a pistachio cake" He loves this cake so I make it once a year...on his birthday. (see I didn't even buy candles...I used a left over Halloween candle:)) After dinner went to the pet store to look at puppies and make the kids drool:) I just wanted to say how much I love you Jeff! Thank you so much for all you do for our family! It amazes me how hard you work, all the time and hours you are gone, and how much you sacrifice for us. Thank you so much! We all love you! Happy Birthday!

Happy Halloween?

Happy Halloween?...More like Merry Christmas. A few days before Halloween we got dumped on for 2 days straight. They even closed school for 2 days, we went sledding and the kids had fun. Jeff actually had Halloween off so we had fun with him here. He even dressed up! Boy does he look good or what? We always have a lot of fun carving pumpkins, but I think this year was the best, because we had a bout 8 pumpkins that we grew ourselves this summer, so it made it much more fun. Sam was batman for Halloween, but he was having one of those nights and wouldn't let us take a picture of him. Andy was a lion, and Ali was Alice in wonderland. Grandma Sandy made both costumes that have been handed down through the grandkids! Love it! Jeff started his night rotation this week...ugh! Oh well, we sure have a lot to be thankful for!

Shake, Rattle and Run!

Today a few of us from our ward ran in the Shake, Rattle and Run 5k. It was pretty much freezing, but it was a lot of fun seeing so many people run in costumes. We have some great families in our ward. A couple of the dads came and watched my kids for me so I could run. Thanks so much it was a lot of fun!

Jeff hard at work

So we have a lot of people ask why Jeff chose to be an OB/GYN, this is one reason. He gets to deliver beautiful babies and meet wonderful families. He loved this family of these two little boys that he got to deliver.

Lair of the Bear

Yesterday I took the kids to Lair of the Bear Open Space Park and we hiked around for a while. It's always good to get away from the city and enjoy the mountains.

Fall

We raked up the leaves in our backyard today.....well, we had them raked up...but I think we'll have to try again in a couple of days because the kids were having too much fun in them.

Andy's stitches

Well a couple of days ago Andy slipped in the bathtub and cut his chin open pretty bad. I couldn't get it to stay closed so I went to see Jeff and they all agreed it definatlly needed stitches, so Jeff just stitched it up for us. Andy was so brave and sat there so still. Sam was crying because he didn't want it to hurt Andy, and I just sat there with my eyes closed so I didn't puke. Yeah, I'm not real good with that sort of stuff.
