cooking lessons are in session

The kids took turns helping me with the rolls and pie crust for Thanksgiving dinner.

Jackson's looking better

Jackson today at the Turkey Bowl wishing he could play.

Jackson yesterday after his bath and before we put his bandages back on.

Turkey Bowl

Jeremy and the guys from Mckinney 2nd ward got together and played a little football. All of us wives came to watch, I mean only this wife (ME) Where were you all:)

I always love going and watching when I can.

One last quick story

I know I've posted like 10 posts in 10 minutes (catch up time)

Makayla and Isaac have had a hard time watching Jackson be misreable the last few days. Everytime we have to change and clean his bandages and nose the kids leave the room. They both cry along with Jackson everytime. This picture was taken Saturday after Jackson had to have his nose cleaned and Isaac started crying. They're all hugging after all the craziness had calmed down.

Thursday when Jackson got home from surgery, Isaac kept bring him toys, blankets, and drinks of water. He even started crying when dad was trying to get Isaac and Makayla to go to dinner with him. Jeremy was going to take them to mcniel spirit night at Chic-fil-a and Jackson and I were going to stay home and watch T.V. Isaac started crying and said he didn't want to go. "What if something happens and we aren't here to help mom take care of Jackson" it was really sweet.

Isaac and soccer

Isaac last minute joined a indoor soccer team. The Blackhawks. He's so excited to be playing indoor soccer. They won their first game on Saturday 3-0. Isaac score the first goal! It's amazing to me how much he loves soccer. He's always been quick, but this last season his foot work has gotten so good. He's so much fun to watch. I love watching him play.

A typical Sunday morning (Everyones ready for church but Mom:-)

This morning, I was taking pictures of Jackson and everyone decided they wanted to be in on it. Of course the camera is always out when my hair and makeup person is out of town.

The Last Few Days

Jackson has been amazing the last few days. As you can see in the pictures, it's been rough. This is so typical Jackson, you can see he's upset and then he tries so hard to be happy for you and then as quick as the tantrum started it's over and he's back to what he was doing.

It breaks my heart. Those big crocadille tears coming down his face. He hates it when we have to change his bandage, clean his nose, and spray his nose with saline. I mean he hates it. He puts up quite the fight. It breaks my heart everytime. I'm so bad. I only make him clean and spray it about every other or even every third time I change the bandage.

Sunday Morning (three days after surgery)

Saturday afternoon (two days after surgery)

Cabo San Lucas!!!

Jeremy and I at the marina in Cabo.

The catamaran that took us snorkeling on Tuesday.

My big buff Honey

These are the only pictures I have from Cabo. All the others are trapped on Jeremy's phone. When we figure out how to upload from our phone to computer, I'll share some more. Maybe even the video of me getting completely taken out by a huge wave:)

I don't know why everything is underlined!!!!!!

We had such a good time in Cabo. The weather was amazing. The water was warm. It was great.

There were a few highlights: Jeremy being a hero and saving someone, riding the public bus, and repelling. Oh yeah and sleeping as much as I wanted:)

Have I ever said how much I love love love Halloween

Jackson laid down on the ground and didn't want to get up, he was to tire to go on. Even with candy waiting at more doors, he was done.

Makayla went back to Grandma and Grandpa Schultz's because she was afraid there might be dogs at the homes we were trick or treating at.

Pumpkin patch in the Tri-Cities

Some of the cousins we went out trick or treating with

We spent halloween weekend in Washington. It was a little cold for me, but I loved it so much. Makayla was Hermione Granger, from Harry Potter. (my kids are inlove with Harry Potter, they let me start reading it to them this summer. We're on Book 3) Isaac was a skeleton, because it was on clearance two years ago. Jackson was a green Power Ranger, because Power Rangers are soo cool, and Isaac wore it four years ago:)
