Pictures galore!
























































Oops

So I am a slacker and have not updated my blog in a long time! So much has happened that I will just have to give a quick overview of it all!!! I will start with Halloween, it was so fun this year! We ended up spending it in Cali. and well poor Brock's costume was made for Utah weather. He was super hot and sweaty! Shane was Optimus Prime and LOVED to tramsform into a truck for everybody, it was super funny! Shane found that having to wait for us was such a pain, he wanted to just run to every house as fast as he could! Brock was a bear and a boy in a skeleton costume scared the life out of him and he spent the night in the stroller with his little paws covering his eyes. He couldn't be bribed to move them for most of the night. Near the end he started to relax and finally would walk up to the doors by himself. After about three houses he tripped on a small step and his nose broke his fall. Brock and I ended up rushing home to stop the blood. So it was eventful but fun!

Shane had his birthday while Dan was in Cali. Uncle Brad and Aunt Kim threw him a fiesta that Shane had so much fun at! He really loves all his cousins and family! I cannot believe he is 5 already! WHere did all that time go?

Let's see, Dan got a job here in Lehi at a company called DiVinci Doors as their GM and so far he really likes it. We are so grateful after all the turmoil we ended up with a good job because we are so aware that there are so many out there not as lucky as we were. We feel very blessed. On Dan's time off we did a lot of canning to pass the time. The poor guy was climbing the walls with boredom and we are both super excited to have things back to normal!

The absolute best news of all is that Brock is FREAKIN' FINALLY potty trained!!!! This has been the most frustrating experience of my life! We are not 100% perfect yet and night time is going to be a WHOLE different battle but at least we have started somewhere! I am feeling so relieved!

For right now I think that is about the main highlights! Shane is doing really well in school, they had a mock Thanksgiving Day meal at there preschool the I went to that was really cute. Shane was so excited to have me at school, he kept looking at me and blowing me kisses. What a sweet boy I have!
