Thanks to our ward family who brought meals and made sure I wasn't too bogged down the first few days. Thanks to Connie for the awesome waiting room bag full of fun games, magazines and treats. And a special thanks to Jed and Rhonda for being AWESOME! Thanks Rhonda for sitting in the waiting room with me for hours then rushing home just in time to finish up making dinner for your 6 kids and my 7, and Jed for calling and visiting the Man all the way out in Scottsdale. We are so blessed to have such amazing friends. Thanks to everyone else for phone calls, cards and visits.

Second, we celebrated out 14th Anniversary
We actually celebrated a couple weeks early because of Dan's surgery. Thanks to everyone who took our kids so we could have some alone time. Especially Steph for taking the girls. I had such a hard time leaving Briar. But since she loves Steph so much, it made it easier.

Third, we had a fun Halloween.
We went out to my brothers house, we took Red Riding Hood and her Gramma, a goofy looking nerd, An Army Man, Count Dracula, Bat Girl and Buzz Light year with us. They had a lot of fun and being with family is always Great.

We (and by we I mean ME!) have loved the weather cooling off just enough for the kids to play outside.

Tate had a special Day.
Tate had a special Day.
All of the Mesa Elementary Schools participate in a music program every year, where the teachers each pick the top 14 singers and then they get together with all the other schools and put on a big program. I got to be a parent volunteer the day of the program. These guys worked really hard, and did an AMAZING job. Performance day they were in rehearsal for 7 hours. TROOPERS! Then Dan and the kids came for the actual concert that evening. It was GREAT! Good job Son.

Tanner went on yet another camp out.
He came home yesterday, dirty and tired, but said he had a wonderful time. =o)

And last but not least....Game Night.
The first of hopefully many! We had so much fun. We played games and ate yummy food. Ahhh Good times. We all realized that Dan and Jed are connected in some unearthly way, like the live on the same brain frequency and all 12 of us now have new appreciation for the words...Boy and Toilet Training. Thanks guys for hanging out. We had a blast!

we had so much fun! can't wait until the next one.
Thanks for inviting us! We had a blast! Why arent any of the embarrassing pics posted?! (jk)
Kristi just wants the embarrasing photos posted cause she didn't do anything humiliating! I'm not posting any either. Though I do want to rig the guesstures game next time so Deli has to dance like a ballerina or something. It would make me happy. ;)
Was a lot of fun, thanks for having us!
Hey what exactly IS a toilet train?
Seriously the party was a blast and thanks to all that came and made it so fun!
Thanks to my sweetheart for putting up this post :)
You are bunch of party animals! Congrats on having your sister and her family close and in the ward :) I think it would be fun to see Deli ballerina dance or something like that, too!!! Tell Dan I am sorry for taking up 5 minutes of his Gosple Doctrine lesson last week on family and paper deligating... he totally had to wait for us and I felt like a jerk. He is such a great teacher. congrats on your anniversary, you make a great couple.
Yeah! It's so great to have another post from you Rach! It looks like you guys have been doing great and having fun this last month :)
I cracked up over Tanner's Halloween costume--lol--and giggled over the way Emma was showin' some leg in her Batgirl outfit! Such cute nieces and nephews I have!
Love you guys...
Yay!! Rachel updated her blog! I've been waiting!!!
Looks like you guys had a blast! Congrats to Dan for doing so good post op. We were glad we were able to come see him in the hospital, sorry I was sick and couldnt do a whole lot more.
Your kids ended up all looking so cute for Halloween, sometimes last minute things work the best!
