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!

Tay Tay we miss you!

A week ago last Saturday my two youngest sisters Sydney and Taylor and Taylors two friends were in a car accident. Taylor had to be flown to St. Joe's Hospital in Phoenix because of head trauma. She has been there for just over a week now and not much has changed, but she hasn't gone backwards which is good. We are hoping that this week we will start to see some good changes. We really miss you Tay Tay and hope that you will be able to wake up soon!

Halloween!

Brynli decided that she was going to ride in the trunk with all the candy. She was not about to let it out of her sight for a second.
By the end of the night Brynli had had enough of the bumble bee costume.

She was so cute walking up to the door with her bucket.

By the end of the night her bucket was pretty heavy, but she was not going to let anyone help her with it.

Last year Brynli didn't want anything to do with her costume, but this year she was so excited to put it on. Halloween was a little warm this year, but over all it was fun.

Trick-or-treat

This is a view of Brynli's costume from the side. I love the stinger!

Carli's favorite thing she received was her green vampire teeth. Pretty scary!!

Carli and Emery trick or treating. They had lots of fun together.

Here is our storm trooper. I have never met a kid that was so into star wars.
