Last Weekend

So, I seem to be running about a week behind updating my blog lately! Last weekend, we enjoyed what appears to have been the last warm day of the year here in Helena by roasting hotdogs and making s'mores at my parents' house.



It was a perfect Montana Fall day and we had a great time! Here are some beautiful images my favorite twin sister captured in my parents' back yard:


Megan and Kellan are still really enjoying basketball and school....we have parent-teacher conferences this week and are looking forward to a couple excellent report cards!

This week will be interesting....I am going in for a little surgery on Tuesday morning....just a hysterectomy and appendectomy....nothing major! So, if you think of it, would you please say a prayer that I recover quickly...I really want to be able to go shopping on Black Friday! A girl's gotta have priorities, right?!

Catch Up!

I can hardly believe it's been two weeks since I last posted anything....I guess that says how busy life has been lately!

I guess I'll start with Halloween....Megan was a ninja, Kellan was an army guy, and Jacksen was Captain Rex from Star Wars. Because the Steelers were playing that night, we had to be creative about trick-or-treating - it worked out just fine, though! All three kids definitely got their fill of trick-or-treating...and they got a PILE of candy. The night before Halloween, we had a little dinner/pumpkin-carving party at our house:






We've also been really busy with basketball lately. This is Kellan's first basketball experience, and he is lovin' it! Both Kellan and Megan have been playing really well and they are definitely improving from week to week! I've taken a few pictures with my blackberry, but they aren't very good so I'll have to wait to post some when I remember to bring my camera to a game!
This last week, Jacksen had the stomach flu for a couple days and Kellan came down with it this weekend. They're both back to normal, but I'm just waiting for Megan to start throwing up in the middle of the night....why does it always seem to hit around midnight?!
And speaking of sickness, Megan's poor little bunny seems to be under the weather as well. She isn't eating and is very thin. We finally got her to drink some water this afternoon and she seems a little more perky...we are praying she comes around soon.
