No more snoring

Spencer had his tonsils and adenoids taken out yesterday.
This is just before they took him in to blow up the "balloon".




It took a while for the anesthesia to wear off but after that, he was really happy. REALLY. HAPPY. Today is another story, which they warned us about, but it's alright it will all be worth it in the end.

Ever since he was a little baby we have always been able to hear him breathe from another room. In the last little while it turned into snoring and during the day he was only able to breathe through his mouth, so his Doctor referred us to an ear nose and throat specialist who then advised that we have his tonsils and adenoids taken out. We can already tell that it's helped, he can actually breathe through his nose. However, now that I can't hear him breathe, I'll never be able to sleep! :)

Grandma Slack

We recently had to say goodbye to Dallas' mom. She was a wonderful mother and grandmother. She loved it when her family visited and loved to hear the grandchildren's laughter. We take comfort knowing that she is with her parents again and that she is able to do the things she wasn't able to do for the last few years. We love her and we're going to miss her very much!

New bed

This is Spencer's new bed, we made the mistake of asking him what color he wanted it, I hope he likes green for a while! I didn't expect it to be quite that bright.


By the way, Dallas made the bed and we got the plans from this fabulous site.

New pictures

We had pictures taken yesterday. She got some really cute pictures of the kids.

Happy Birthday Katelyn!

My squishy faced baby, minutes after birth.

Big brother's first encounter, he's not too sure he likes.

Two days old.

My little Katelyn, she didn't want to stay my baby as long as I wanted her to. She started taking steps just before she turned 10 months old. I guess she just wanted to catch up to her big brother who she LOVES. She lets him know when he's making her mad though.

I can't believe it has already been a year! It seems like the more you want time to go by slow, the faster it goes. She is such a blessing to our family! We love you Katelyn!!

Yummy fall flavors

I LOVE FALL !!!


Sugar pumpkin

She doesn't think it needs any improvement

We have been enjoying this yummy treat the last couple of days. This is the first year I've felt brave enough to make a pumpkin pie from scratch and I don't think it will be the last.

Happy Halloween!

I was going to try to catch up on the last couple months, but right now I'm just going to post what we are doing right now.




Spencer loved taking the seeds and strings out, he couldn't wait for his turns.




Katelyn did her part too.



The one on the right is Katelyn's, you can't see the eyelashes darn it!
