Saying Goodbye

Best Friends from the beginning!

We had a really rough week dealing with the lice and then our dog Max passed away. He was just one of those great dogs people talk about. He was great with the kids, always very loyal and just loved to be with us. He got sick over the weekend, last week and just never got better, the vet wasn't really sure what he had, but thought he had a major GI infection or a tumor/blockage. He just went downhill so fast, that we had no choice but to put him to sleep, which was heartbreaking for are whole family, I cried, Billy cried, Lynlee cried, and Regan cried.





The worst has also been are other dog Gus, has lost his best friend and older brother, and just doesn't know what to do. He's never been alone before and just roams around the house and the backyard looking for Max. So SAD!! Billy and I got Max, right after we got married so he has been with us through everything, all the kids being born and moving a bunch of times. He was a great friend and we will miss him in our family.

Nit-Wits

Horrible, Awful, the worst thing ever....We all got LICE!!! My head itches just thinking about it. We've been dealing with it for about a week now, and I think with one more treatment and head checks for months, we will be rid of it. Lynlee's school has had a major outbreak of it so I'm sure she got it there. But it is awful, washing everything, stuffed animals in quarantine for three weeks, using that shampoo, and picking out all those eggs.

I had a friend ask, "what can I do?"
My response, "Nothing, STAY AWAY, and pray for US!!!"

Are battle weapons: The shampoo dried my scalp out so bad it made it itch worse than the bugs. I had to treat the baby too, and there was no way I was putting that stuff on her head, so I found a natural oil to use and it worked great.

Heather & Scott's Wedding

Over the weekend Billy's oldest brother got married to a friend of mine down here in Texas. We had 10 people from Billy's family staying here, it was a FULL house!! We all had a great time laughing a eating way too much food.

Heather looked beautiful at it was a gorgeous day at the Temple. So happy for them!!

Halloween 2010

We had another fun Halloween this year, Friday we did the Trunk-or-Treat at the church, where Billy ran around scaring all the little kids and the missionaries used the baby to get candy for themselves. Then on Halloween night we went around the neighborhood with some friends.
