this month so far...

On Wednesday morning I took my kiddos up to Sundance and my Mommy  came along too. I wanted to see how the leaves were coming and I am sad to say they are not changing yet which worries me that they are all going to die. Last year we didn't get very vibrant colors and what colors we did get didn't last very long, so I have been hopeful for this fall, I am still keeping my fingers crossed mostly because I love fall colors, i love the smell, the change of season, the weather, I love everything about fall!! anyway the kids had fun running around like crazy and i snapped some pic's while we were there. It was only 57 degrees up there tho! ah cold! After running around Grandma bought us all a sucker you know those yummie suckers that you can get at brick oven ohhhh i love them!  I had an amazing birthday! When we got home my sisters brought me yummie cafe rio for lunch and hung out with me for a while, poor Jake had school so we will have to go out later this week. Jacob gave me a wedding band for my birthday and our upcoming anniversary! He is such a sweet heart and I love him to death! I had no idea it was coming and it couldn't have been more perfect! It matches my ring amazingly well and I am super excited about it! now on to some icky news I just got word from my Dr. that I will be having surgery on Tuesday to remove some kidney stones and they have caused a big cyst thing in my bladder as well so they have to slice that out..... = (   yuck!  the good news about it is I will feel better soon! And I am so glad this is something they can fix. I can't wait to be up and going back to my full energetic self i once was. I have been sick for a looooonnnng time! My poor kids and husband have suffered the most because of it, i am have constant back pain for the last couple of months and other issues along with it and being just plain exhausted all of the time! Also the Dr. said the cyst has been there for a couple of years so ya those back pains during Allie's pregnancy were not pregnancy induced pains people (dr. people i mean)!!! but there is light at the end of the tunnel and I am excited about it! Thank goodness my parents and especially my Mom have been here helping me with so much!!! so here are the pic's and hopefully before too long i will be good as new! yay!
