happy thanksgiving!!!

This thanksgiving was a lot differet than most. We weren't with our families we were all alone. so what does that mean???? yep cassidy had to make din din. I have no idea how to cook a turkey. Needless to say i am very proud of myself. It was completely cooked through, lightly browned on the outside, and pulled apart easily. ok so i just have to talk myself up because really i didn't think i could do it.

the rest of the day consisted of hanging out, sleeping and taking it easy. So nice to just hang out.

Happy thanksgiving Everyone, we missed you guys... can't believe it but...

Christmas will be here sooner than we think.

The Gap... (Parowan Gap that is)

So we have been trying to find some fun spots that we can enjoy together as a family. So we decided to go try out the Parowan Gap.

There she is.

Pretty much what it is, Is a place that they found a whole bunch of petroglyphs that were found by some pioneers. They were really interesting.

You could see that they were telling stories about something. It just made me think about the past and all of the hardships that went on.

they really are so cool. look at the hard work.

I love how in this picture the boys are randomly looking around. but i still think it is cute.

well another great trip and i hope we can find more places to go.

Well not much has been going on, but i guess i could update on Brody. He is doing very well with his asthma. he had a cold last week and that made his cough a lot worse. but now he doesnt really cough during the day, but just at night. Once we do a treatment he is great with no coughing through the night. I am so glad that we found something that worked. Anyway this year will be the first ever that we haven't had thanksgiving with our families. BUMMER. i am very dissapointed about it, i am missing my moms amazing parsnips, but oh well. I guess i am going to have to pull out some Betty Crocker moves and cook up some thanksgiving dinner. yea i am a little nervous. Or we could just hit the local sizzler???
Really i can't believe how fast this year is going. Bently is 9 months old, brody turned 3, in january have lived in this house for a year, everything is going by so fast. So sad.

the 5 month cough mystery has been resolved

So towards the end of July Brody started to cough. Just a non productive cough here and there. Also with red eyes and stuffy nose. I took him in and we were told he had allergies. (all of us did this summer) So we did an over the counter antihistamine and that was that. Well during the last two months he cough has gotten worse. He cough so hard that he almost vomits. I started to pay attention to when he was coughing . And i realized it was when he was running and being rowdy and usually before bedtime and during the night. So we went to the doc and just as i suspected my lil brody has ASTHMA. well the doc called it RAD (restrictive airway disease) He didn't want to ruin his medical record.

So tonight we tried our first nebulizer treatment. He did very well. held the mask on the whole time. i was very impressed.

The cutest thing ever. His nebulizer is a PANDA. So much cuter than the one at Dr. Brown's. Not scary at all.

Brody did very well but Bently was quite mortified about what was on his brothers face.
The dr told me that brody could very well grow out of this. And he also said that when he listens to him he hears no crackling or wheezing. He said it is very mild. And his treatment is only to do the nebulizer one time before but unless other wise needed. So i am remaining hopefull.

One thing i do have to say that i learned is... Did you know that asthma is Hereditary? I didn't know that.

don't forget the cake

So i had to post about this adorable cake. My wonderful mother in law had a picture of this

guy and she had a great idea to make him for his bday. Brody was really surprised.

What do you think?

Long post got lots to share

This halloween was the best. we were able to go to cache valley. We went to my mom's

work then over to my dads.

Brody was so so so excited. he couldn't wait to trick or treat.

He even learned the song to sing. "trick or treat, smell my feet"

After we visited the gparents, we went to the mall. It was complete chaos. Lin and I just, walked as fast as our little kids would go. After that we decided to go to Ryan's Park and let the kids burn some energy.

I was so surprised how perfect the weather was. I can't remember a halloween it wasn't freezing or raining. so fun.

Before we left i had to practice my mad wall climbing skills.

That next sunday we had a bday party for brody at my parents. The big 3, can you believe it.

Later in the week we celebrated his bday with the browers so that everyone could be there.

Here he is in his new Diego Jeep ( He is really into that right now) Above he is sporting

new Diego Binoculars. Me too.


Brody got to spend a lot of time with his gpa's fourwheeling. It is his most favorite

thing to do. What a wonderful week. I love spending time with my family. On sat, Caprice took some amazing family pictures. I can't believe how well they turned out. And can't wait to post them. She is very talented. Anyway now time to get back in the swing of things. Man time flys.
