Sorry i have not posted in a while.
John is gone often and i get super busy with mady, my callings, and looking/closing on a house!!! more on that later. We are going to try and get all that done before we go home for xmas... so here is whats been happening lately.
Before Halloween we went home to visit my family. It was johns idea. I had had a very rough couple days. It was fun. We surprised them. It was so fun. I had called Tyrel to make sure they were home so he told them that he wanted to have a game night. We sent mady up to the front door knocked and ran. My dad answered and was quite confused to say the least. My mom heard mady at the door and was like... "Oh that sounds like Mady!" haha it was a fun little get away. Then i threw a Halloween party at my house. It was fun i decorated the house, invited a bunch of friends (its so wonderful that we made so many friends so fast in scottsbluff!), and lots of yummy snacks. I made mummy hot dogs, ghost cupcakes, cookie witches hats, and rice krispy treat pumpkins. Sorry no pictures. i had been sick right before the party and totally spaced taking pics. But it was a lot of fun, we took a quiz, played games and had a blast.
Then comes Halloween. We had fun. Mady loved holding up her bucket and saying trick or treat! Everyone thought she was so cute they all had to give her more than one piece so her bucket filled quick, which was a good thing. John decided to give mady a piece of snickers and she had quite the allergic reaction! Was so grumpy the rest of the night. Her face was swollen for a couple of days. No throwing up though so we were good. The crazy thing is if she even tastes peanuts she spits it right out. Never even is in her mouth for more than half a second, and that is her reaction. I don't even want to think about what her reaction would be if she actually ate it!
Here is Mady modeling my bracelets for me haha silly girl



These are some pics of our trip to mom and dads before Halloween. Mady loved playing in the park :)



Here are some pics from Halloween. Mady was spaghetti and meatballs :)



Here are some pics of Mady's swollen face. You can't see it very well but oh well....



Here are some pics of our first snow fall in Scottsbluff! I only put down a inch or two and it only stayed on the ground for a few hours but it was fun for mady to play with for a little while. She loved it and after 2 hours still didn't want to go inside haha :) she needs new gloves though, these ones don't let her do anything! Enjoy!!! :) hehe




I finally have time to post now because i am sitting in the hotel in Casper while john works haha. We will drive the rest of the three hours when john is done. I will post about thanksgiving and house stuff later. I think this post is long enough haha :) Happy Holidays EVERYONE!!!!
