SNOW!!!!

Well, the past week, we have gotten 2 great surprises.  #1  Hailey has decided to relocate to Great Falls with us from Vegas.  She is really enjoying her new school.  #2 We finally got lots of snow!  This snow is way different from TX and NM snow.  It is very dry and powdery which makes it kinda hard to make snowballs.  I really hope we can get used to this weather and I can get comfortable driving.  So far, I haven't gone anywhere but the kids' school (6 blocks) and Aikido (a block from the school).  

Finally have all 5 of them together for pictures.  

Of course, Korbyn wanted to pose and look cute.

Hailey, not so much wanting to be there.... It was COLD!

It took Bryan and Tim a bit longer to get to the Tahoe.  

Bryan was having so much fun.

Leaves!!!!!

Ok, so I noticed the spot beside the porch that I have tried so hard to get grass to grow, was covered in leaves......

I had to save my grass for next year.

B didn't know what to think about it at first.... Thought it was great!

Of course Sean just had a ball throwing leaves.....

Korbyn loving having her picture taken as usual.

Bubba threw the leaves too high.....

It has been a rough week.....

I had my wisdom teeth removed on Friday.....  

How insane is it that I am 29 year old and just now have to get them taken out!?

I immediately started swelling and ended up with 2 dry sockets.  I should be done with appointments on Monday..... (I hope).

Luckily, a week later, I am almost back to normal and the kids are no longer staring at me.

I asked them if I looked funny or scary and they all said "No."  But, they couldn't stop staring at me.

Everyday it was, "Your face is looking better Momma"

Korbyn didn't want me to stay home on Halloween and hand out candy.  

She was worried that the other kids would be scared......

We had 4 Smurfs for Halloween! 

 Korbyn- Smurfette;  Bryan- Popa Smurf;

Sean- Clumsy Smurf and Tyler- Smarty Smurf.

Every house we went to commented on how cute they were.

We tried to go the cheap way this year....... That didn't work.

This was the first year we had all 4 kids for Halloween.

Think next year we should start thinking bout costumes in August.

To add to my suffering this week, all 4 kids tested positive for strept throat.

Took Tyler in on Tuesday with a fever and very sore throat, positive.  

So, the Dr suggested I bring the other 3 in to get tested.  I am so glad I did.

This week has been the best experience this far with the clinic on base.

Now, they are all on antibiotics and hopefully we can keep them well.
