October 2015

Out cute friend is on the Herriman High Drill team and so Bryn did the little drill team camp and got to perform at the half-time show of the football game.  Her cute little friends Kristine and Lanea both did it too.

After the performance we stayed and watched the game and took selfies of course.

Our friends the Gray family were in town for general conference weekend and were were so lucky to finally meet the girls Ellie and Rachel.  Ellie is Kaelyn's little twin, they were both born under two pounds, heart defects and spent over 100 days in the NICU.  Ellie is a year older than Kaelyn and about twice as tall but they are two peas in a pod.  Its so comforting knowing that we have a family who can relate to us with our special little girl.  Little Rachel fit right in with our girls and they all played so well together.

After conference we walked to to park to enjoy the warm October weather.

Bryn finished up her little soccer league with her cute girl-friends, Elle, Sophie and Harlow.

Kaelyn relaxing while listening to her favorite tunes on daddy's shiny new phone, but has since been banned from using it because she cracked the screen.

Love this quote!

This cutie is growing out of her clothes!  Yay for growing.

Kaelyn chowing down on chili at school.  She has been taking more tastes of foods these days which is excited for us!

Jaymi and our buddy Blake hanging out after school.

Jaymi showing us how tough she is after she just completed the whole P90X3 workout with mommy.

We went out to dinner with the Jackmans for our annual Halloween Flashlights.

Jaymi had to get surgery on her neck due to instability in her cervical spine.  They had to take part of her rib to connect to her first to vertebrae so that it will fuse to the bone so that she will no longer be at such a high risk for spinal cord injuries.  She was so brave and tough and did amazingly through it all.  

A few hours after the surgery she was even able to give a little smile to the camera even though she felt so crummy.

She was loving the all she could eat mac and cheese at the hosipal.

Bryn was so concerned about her big sister and insisted on visiting her at the hospital and helping to nurse her back to health.

Jaymi was so sweet with her "baby" and made sure she got to fed, medicine and everything else she was getting while in the hospital.

I was sad that we had to schedule Jaymi's surgery the week we had planned on attending Breakfast with Witches and she wouldn't be able to go with us.  Of course she surprised us all and said she felt well enough to go with us and she did, just 4 days post major surgery.

She was beyond thrilled to see her best buddy and soul mate Mia.

And then the next evening she begged to go to the Utah Volleyball game with me, how could I tell her no?

She even made it onto the jumbo tron with her sweet dance moves and cheering.

While Jaymi was recovering at home Bryn got to spend the weekend with her cute cousin Maddie.

Free dinner at Chickfila for bringing in books to donate.

Jaymi was so excited to return to school the week after her surgery and her friends all came running to give her hugs and welcome her back, it was so sweet.

Jaymi's school pictures turned out adorable this year.

Kaelyn riding in the pumpkin wagon at school.  I love when her cute teacher sends us pictures and videos from school!

The pumkins were grown at the state prison and donated to the kids at the school and Kaelyn's picture was in an article in the news paper.

Bryn's little preschool class had a field trip at a local pumkin patch.

We spent the afternoon and evening with our friends the Andersons in Park City for bowling, pizza, movie and the Utah football game.

There is the cutest house in our neighborhood decorated at the "Dead and Breakfast Inn" we had to go check out.

Bryn and I got to go to a little cookie decorating party at my friend Brynley's house.

Bryn dressed up as a mummy, or as she says "Memmy" at the Bonner cousins little Halloween party.

The girls were quite the troopers and trick or treated for a couple hours and walked about 2 miles.

I told the girls to pick a few treats before bed and Jaymi knew exactly what she wanted, this cute little packet of gold fish crackers, ha ha, the snack she has every day!
