Thanksgiving Day.
Thanksgiving was a little different this year being that we had it at the hospital, but it was nice that we were able to be with family. My mom was able to reserve one of the hospitals conference rooms for our Thanksgiving dinner, and thanks Shelley for getting us all the food! The kids were finally able to go back to see their aunt Taylor, and was Taylor ever excited to see them. She is not able to show any expressions on her face yet but as soon as the kids came in she started to wave at them. She was even more excited to see Brynli. Every time Taylor would look at Brynli she would start waving, and then she put her hand up and gave her a high five. It made our day and I think Taylor's too. Taylor also got her drainage tube removed from her head which allowed her to be moved out of the PICU yesterday. We were happy that moving meant she is making progress, but sad that we will no longer have Sarah as her nurse. Taylor still has a long road ahead but we have faith that the outcome will be a good one. Taylor will start her rehab on Monday and we can hardly wait to see the changes it will bring. Thank you to all who have been praying for Taylor and our family!

Update on Taylor
Yesterday was a really good day for our family and Taylor. She was able to finally get her intubation tube removed. They also took her off of her sedation so she was actually able to open her eyes, and she waved at my dad, Shad, and Sydney. Today when I went to see her she waved and shook my hand. When we asked her if she would wave to Chad she shook her head no, but she did give him a thumbs up! She made my Dad's day by doing their little wave that they do to each other. Way to go Taylor!

Carving the pumpkins!!
So for family home evening we carved our pumpkins and decorated cupcakes. The kids are funny because they beg to carve pumpkins but when it comes time to take the seeds out they don't want any part of it. Last year they helped but they had to plug their nose with one hand while scooping the seeds out with the other one. Once the seeds are out then they want to help again. We had a lot of fun, but I think I will leave the carving to
Chad next year!

Benefit Dinner
Carli and Emery enjoying one of the many cupcakes they ate that night.
The Happiest Place On Earth!
Here we are with Pluto!!
Carli was trying to get Tiger to sign her book but instead she got to take a walk with him. It was the cutest thing ever!
Here we are with Tawni, DeWy, Brock, and Britton. After we went to Sea World we headed to Disneyland for 3 days. We took the kids to Disney World when we lived in Florida and they have been asking to go back ever since. When they found out we were going to Disneyland they could hardly wait to get there. Cole loved the big rides at Disney World but for some reason we had a really hard time getting him back on those rides this time. I had fun because I wasn't prego this time so I was actually able to ride the fun rides. We had lots of fun and can hardly wait to go back!
Sea World/Newport Beach
Tuesday after Labor Day we packed our bags and met our friends Tawni and DeWy in Newport Beach, and then on Wednesday we drove to Sea World. Newport was beautiful, and the kids loved the beach. Cole and Carli have really missed the beach since we left Florida so they were in heaven. I was really excited about Sea World, because it was our first time taking the kids. Brynli loved having Britton there to play with.

Brynli's 1st Birthday!
On July 27th Brynli turned 1, and because her nickname is bumble bee I decided to make her a bumble bee cake. She was not to interested in eating the cake, which is funny, because she is my kid who will eat anything! After she got done nicely picking the flowers off she decided to eat the black frosting. She looked so cute by the time she was done with her cake. Ashley this scrunch face picture is for you!!!
