Ward Halloween Party

  

Emmy is hilarious

Emmy is a funny kid. She asks the weirdest things. 

. Imagine some real urgency. "Mom mom!!  I need to ask you something!!!!" 

Me: ok. What?

Emmy: can ants read?

Emmy is a healer as a part of the Halloween family clash of clans. Bridget told me the following :

We found this skeleton guy. Emmy is worried. "How did he die? He's so ugly now but I bet he was a pretty nice man. I wish I could heal him!"

 

Halloween Party

I have to have the cutest kids in the world. We are all dressed up as Clash of Clans characters. I'm at work right now as I post this but the kids are at the Children's museum Halloween party. 
 

     

Pool!

We built a pool. It was annoying but it is awesome. We had a pool at the last two houses. In Texas it is a Must. Especially with kids. 

Pool builds go like this 

1. Meet with designers  

2. Sign contract 

3. Pay a little money

4. Get them to dig a giant hole in your yard and destroy all of your landscape and sprinklers. They won't be around to fix the damage on the back end. 

5. Rebar and concrete pour

6. Wait a month or so until the contractor needs more Money. Pay more money. Wait another week. 

7. Tile coping and edging. 

8. Wait more time

9. Pour the decking

10. Wait for "everything to dry" (that is contractor speak for let your guys finish all other projects take a week vacation then after they are good and rested come out to look at it and the mess of our yard and wait a few more days)

11. Coat the decking. 

12. Repeat number 10

13. Spray plaster coating

14. Fill the pool for three days

15 break your back and shoulders scrubbing it with a 12 foot pole. 

16. Pay more money

17. Come out and scoop up excess dirt. Leave your yard like an eye sore. The more trash left around your pool the more the better the "deal" you got because of the savings on clean up. 

18. Pay more money while they dump acid in it and continue scrubbing. 

19. Wait two more days. 

20. Pay more money. scrub more. 

If your lucky at the end of this 5 week process that takes 8 weeks then you can pay more money. 

21. Go swimming

22. Hite a yard guy to fix the sprinklers and pay more money. 

 

 

 

     

Daddy Donut Day

I'm working this weekend but Bridget is being supermom taking all the kids to church. She sent me this picture. It made my heart happy. What a bunch of cute kids.  

I got to go to daddy donut day at Tessa's preschool. She made me some super cute stuff. 

Also our pool is finishing.    

Fun Weekend

Sammy is my little buddy. He's such a good baby. He is cute. He laughs. He's always happy. He is such a smiley guy. My little man is getting bigger.   

We played with Dora's hair chalk. We made Little Rock Stars out of Emmy and Dora.   

Anthony James and family came in to town. I really wish I had taken more pictures. It was so good to see Anthony again. We have known each other for 13 years. So much has changed but he's still the same. It was a lot of fun. I feel really lucky to know them. All of these kids cam  along after residency.  

Eli and Jonathan got along really well. It was sweet of Jonathan to be so nice to Eli. Eli was the age of Jonathan when We were in medical school.    

 

Eli and no fear

When we were at Great Wolf Lodge Eli got to do the ropes course. He has no fear. I love that little man. He did this ropes course 4-5 times.
