Thanksgiving and more!

We had such a fun Thanksgiving holiday! We got to go to NM with the Brock's (minus Amanda who we wished was there so badly) to visit Andrew and Lenzie. We stayed in a cabin at Glorietta and it was just such a nice break from reality! It snowed on Thursday night, so we got to wake up to snow on Friday morning! Riley thought it was raining! Emily, Lenzie and I went sledding for 3 hours and it was awesome! It had been years since I had been! I took Riley down and the first time, she loved it and said it was fun, but the second time, she did not like it for some reason and was done! Here are a few pics from our trip...I am sure there are more to come!

Since we have been back from our trip, we have had many doctor's appointments. Aydia had her shots and well baby check-up yesterday. She weighs 21 lbs...3 lbs less than Riley...she is so big! She hates getting shots and screamed through the whole thing and then fell asleep because she was so exhausted from screaming. Riley has been sick for about 3 weeks now. I took her to the doc weeks ago and she had pink eye in both eyes, a left ear infection, and a sinus infection. She got some medicine and finished it on our trip and was seeming to do better. The day after she finished it, she started everything over. I knew if I did not go ahead and just take her to the doctor again fast, it would just get really bad, so I took her on Tuesday and she now has an ear infection in both ears and still has a sinus infection. Ugh, I just feel like the sicknesses are never ending since September. Josh also had a physical done so that he could get clearance to take the firefighter physical exam on the 14th of Dec. He is good to go, now it is just working out to prepare for the test!
Well, I will try to update a little more often, but it will be a busy month this Dec! We have a lot going on in the next 3 weeks and then are going to spend Christmas with my fam in CO!

Busy, busy!

Sorry it has been a while. We have been so busy. Every year, it just seems like October just flys by! We had a good Halloween. We went over to some friends of ours and handed out snacks and candy while the kiddos played! We did not take the girls trick-or-treating...they just would not get it yet...maybe next year! We did dress them up though, here are a few pics!






Just like October was busy, this week is sure going to be busy. Riley is sick. I took her to the doc yesterday and she has pink eye in both eyes, a left ear infection, and a sinus infection. Poor girl. Aydia is having some tests done at the hospital tomorrow on her kidneys and bladder. That will be a long day for her. Nonnie is watching Riley for us, so she won't have to be there while we are just waiting. We are thankful for Nonnie offering to watch her! So, if you think about Aydia tomorrow, say a little prayer. There is a small chance that she may have to have surgery if things do not look right.
This week has also been busy because Josh has been busy at work. He went to Longview on Monday and they called him while he was there and said he had to spend the night. Yuck. So, he was gone all day Monday and Tuesday and was supposed to have today and tomorrow off, but of course, they called him in about an hour ago to go to Fort Worth. I am so ready for him to have a job that allows him to have a family! The last 2 years, every job he has ends up taking up all of his awake time...no fun! Needless to say, we are so excited to go to New Mexico for Thanksgiving and get away from reality for a while!
