October-- a big month!

It looks like a once-a-month update might be all I can manage right now. But October was a big, fun month, so I don't want to skip it!

The month started with Doman's first experience with anesthesia... probably the first of many, but it went really well. We have to go down to the children's hospital at Stanford to see a specialist, but hopefully it will be worth it! This was to do an EMG... something about finding out if his nerves or muscles are what need to be biopsied. The results showed that his nerves are fine and his muscles definitely have a problem. So he will be having a muscle biopsy soon.

A trooper as usual!

This is exactly why Dan went with him instead of his Mama... I'd be so freaked out waiting for him to wake up!

Then a few weeks ago I took a trip back home to go wedding dress shopping with my little sister, Annie. She is getting married in December to such a sweet guy and I was so happy to get to meet him and be a part of some wedding planning. This was so much fun! We had a great time, plus it was quite relaxing to be on a little trip with just Cali. I wished we could have stayed!

This is what we'd look like if Anner got this dress with the crazy train. I didn't put a picture up of the cute dress she ended up with in case Parker still hasn't seen it. ;) But it was the very last dress she tried on at the end of the day and lets just say they're MFEO. :)

Cali saying goodbye to her grandma...

In preparation for my fun trip home, my friend Melissa and I did something we've been wanting to do for quite a while... feel free to laugh out loud.

While I was in Utah, Dan braved taking the three boys to the ward campout... I wasn't actually sorry I missed this! I'm so glad they had fun!

Smores... yummy!

Max with his best buddy Matthew. I feel like I should actually do an entire tribute to Matthew since he moved just this past week and we're going to miss him terribly!

Lincoln in his very own tent with his own crib... no wonder he slept the best!

And last week Doman had a field trip to an awesome pumpkin patch in Half Moon Bay. I got to go a couple years ago with Max, so this year Dan went. Max and Lincoln didn't want to miss the fun, so they tagged along. The place had a train, jumpers, a pumpkin patch, corn maze, pony rides, a petting zoo... the kids obviously loved it!

On the way home Dan wanted to drive up Highway 1 for the nice view of the coast. They stopped at the beach and even though it was cold, Max and Lincoln couldn't resist playing in the water. :) They both got soaked and Lincoln actually fell right in, clothes and all!

And here's miss Cali picking out her pumpkin for Halloween. :) The Village sells them every year for a dollar each, which is a steal around here.

Whew! I guess that's all I can manage for one day. Coming soon(hopefully)... Halloween!!!
