Our trip to Tombstone

The day that we left Tuscon we didn't come straight home. We went to Tombstone. It was so neat going up there. The first place we went when we got up there was a reptile place. My brother in law loves lizards. So they had to show us what the place had.

After we left the reptile place we went and walked around and looked at a lot of the old buildings. Got to see lots of people wearing old time clothing which was pretty cool to see.

After we were done looking around we went and ate lunch before we headed home. Once we left it felt like forever before we got home. It was dark and late when we got back. It was a bunch of fun though.

University of Utah football game

In November we went to Tuscon to watch the University of Utah play against University of Arizona. We went up there for Scott's birthday. We went and stayed at a resort in Tuscon. It was a nice resort. We got there pretty late that night. The resort had wild pigs on their grounds. It was so cool to see them. Once we had finally got to the room i was more then ready to get out of the car and unload the car. It was nice to get out and stretch and relax finally.

The next morning we got up and realized that we did not have any food what so ever for breakfast. Needless to say my husband and his older sister went into Tuscon to get us some breakfast. They went and got some really good muffins from Costco. Once they got back everyone was ready and dressed for the day. The two other men were still golfing so we ate and waited on them.

Before we left the resort we got pictures of the kids in their outfits for the game. Harper of course loved getting her pictures took.

Once they got there we all got ready to go to the mall. Once we were at the mall we just mainly went to waist time before the game started. So we just walked around and looked at what stores were there.

Finally when we were at the game we got our seats. We were right behind the one of the end zones. So it was not too bad of seating.

The game was very good. We all enjoyed it. Even Harper loved the game. Her favorite sport to watch is football now.

Harper's 2nd Halloween

So this year for Halloween Harper was Minnie Mouse. Even though she is still not to sure what Halloween is she loved being Minnie Mouse. She loved getting dresses up in her costume. Too bad I should of thought about it and bought her a bigger size of costume. It was too small. Which was a bummer.

So for Halloween our Church had a Halloween party so we had that and then two nights after that Kolby's parents ward had their Halloween party so we went to that one also. So along with the actual trick or treating she had a pretty adventurous Halloween. I would say.

So before we took the kids out Trick-or-Treating we got some pictures of them all in their costumes. All three of the girls were Minnie Mouse. Kernan was Indiana Jones and Stockton was a motorcycle rider.

Harper, Jaxin, and I were the ones who had got the most candy. We walked all together about 5 blocks and got in one bag more then all the other three kids did. And we had two bags that full. I would have to say that we had a very good Halloween and cant wait till next year to do it all over again. Just not to start slowly thinking of what Harper will be dressed up as. 

Harper meets Tyler Oct. 5th

Kolby had a friend that was still on his mission when we moved to Arizona. So when he came home we were all waiting to meet him. Poor Harper still had a bandage on a stitches the first time he met her. At first she was not so sure about what to think about him. She was being so shy. But later that night it all changed.

Harper sure does love Grandpa (Tyler's dad Russell)

She warmed up really quick once we were at Tyler's parents house. She warmed up to much that she was being the center of attention. Even when it should of been Tyler since non of them had seen him in 2 years. Harper was having everyone sit on the floor and playing paddy cake.

She had everyone sitting on the floor. All 11 people in the house. It was so much fun though. Harper loved all the attention that she was getting.

After playing paddy cake Harper thought that it was time to go around the room and beep everyone's noses.

Harper warmed up to Tyler so quick once she was at his parents house. It was one of the cutest things ever. Tyler became her best friend. She loved giving him hugs also.

Needless to say Harper is best friends with everyone she meets and they all love her.

Harper's 1st ER visit Oct. 3, 2011

So we got a great big scare from Harper and had to take her to the hospital. We were at a friends house and the kids were playing and next think you know Harper is screaming and our friends daughter is carrying her inside. Then I see all the blood coming out. I thought it was just from her mouth till I saw her forehead. Right then I knew we had to go to the hospital. Where she hit her head was on the bottom of our friends door frame.

With all the pain that I knew she was in she was in a good mood after we got settled in the ER room. Good thing because we were there over 3 hours before they stitched her head up. Poor baby hated having to get it cleaned out and having to be held down.

After they stitched her up she had a final count of 2 dissolveable stitches underneath her her skin and then one running stitch that looped 6 times. I felt so bad having to have them hold her down so that they could get the stitches done. She HATED it. I would not blame her. I know if there is a next time that something like that happens I am not going to be in the room. I could barely handle it.

The next day she was a very cuddly baby girl. I figured she would be after the night before. She had to of been in pain. 

After the 24 hours of leaving the bandage on like the doctor told us to we took off the bandage.

The doctor told us to get the stitches took out 5 to 7 days after the day she got them in. Of course both days he told us to were either a holiday of the weekend when most places were closed. So we had a dentist we know take them out since he has all the tools to take them out.

Day the stitches came out.

I guess this is where she thinks the bandage goes.

All healed up and looking great.

Family time at Manito Park

So while we were up in Idaho we were trying to get everyone together for a play date. So we decided to have it 2 days before I flew out. It was so nice to get all of the family together. Even my dad went and he usually doesn't do things like that. We even had my Aunt Linda and her husband and foster kids. It was so nice to see all of them.

We made salads and had hamburgers and hot dogs. When we were there all the kids enjoyed playing together. All the kids were getting along so well.

 

Auntie Daunie got to meet baby Sabrina for the first time that day. But after we were done at  the park Daunie left for Washington.

Uncle Kolby also got to meet Sabrina for the first time also. Now if only she was mine I would be happy. Hoped it would strike baby fever with my husband but it didn't.

Harper loved all the attention that she was getting also. 

It was the first time in a long time that all of the family was together. Minus one because one of my brother in laws was not there. So we finally got a family picture of all of us together.

That day was a good day and a lot of visiting that was well needed happened. I love and miss all of my family up there.
