Great title huh? We had a good Thanksgiving at our friends the McCreas. There was tons of food and ate our feel. The McCreas have become great members of our family, helping me with the kids in worship, babysitting and so forth. We are very blessed. Thanksgiving took a slight turn for the worst when Peyson threw up. Within the next 24 hours everyone but Bryant (Colby and I included) had joined the party. I was pretty sure by sat night that it I was thrown up on one more time I would cry. The last time I had just changed again and peyson blessed me, again. I just handed him to Colby and went to the shower. Everyone got over it fairly quickly except Peyson, who continued to be sick and by Sun. night his urine had turned brown on monday and tuesday he just stopped peeing all together so we spent hours at the doctor and after 3 ear infection shots, 1 fingerprick, 2 vein draws adn one catheder it has been decided that is liver enzyme is higher than it should be so they are going to test it again in one week and maybe send him to a specialist. They have considered Hep A and Mono but he is feeling much better and is eating whole food again without giving it back so we feel that he is fine. We will let you know next week.
I will post pics later, our internet is down and I am at the library.

Cuties
The kids made cupcakes tonight with some stuff that Ryan and Giao gave Rosa for her birthday. Giao made a beautiful apron for Rosa, but I did not get a pic of it tonight because she thought she might get it dirty.
Peyson was angry when he saw they were getting cupcakes and he had green beans
Here is the best pic of Bryants stitches he would let me take, but he got them out today without so much as a tear!

ICE
This morning when we went to take our kids to Andrea and Lyneil the compass and thermostat on my mirror said ICE-ICE-ICE and welcome to winter. On Tuesday it was in the upper 70’s, today high 38 with change of snow showers. I love fall, Iowa has a beautiful changing of the leaves, but winter, I like in moderation. But fortunately for us all I am not in charge so again, welcome to winter. Well my blogging abilities are decreasing by the moment because not only can I not see the pictures when I post them(Colby fixed this within minutes of looking at it) it will no longer let me turn them, so prepare for a sore neck and tilt left! We are all doing well here. Bryants stitches do not seem to bother him at all. He actually likes to have the band aid on there. Here are a few pics from this week.
Bubble bath! I had not planned on giving Peyson a bath with everyone else, but he crawled in and pulled up at the tub and within seconds was covered in bubbles, so in he went.

Dress up time at our house yesterday. Lyneil bought Rosa some halloween costumes, that they all thought were great. I think we might need to invest in some boy costumes if we want pictures of Logan in something other than a dress.
After a day at home with the kids.
What a smiley baby
The kids got to pick out new shirts at Target. I love Bryants Charlie Brown shirt. I tried and tried to get Rosa to pick a Christmas shirt that said "My Brother is the Naughty One" but she refused.
The kids have been collecting pinecones for months so I finally gave in and we made bird feeders.

more fall
Sorry it has taken me son long to update. We have been fairly busy. The kids are all doing well. Rosa has learned the books of the new testament and Logan can do all but a few. I could hardly believe it, when they started sining it. Rosa is really into writing and is doing great the other day she saw the word cat on tv and sounded it out. She is still along way from reading, but is trying. Early Access came out last week to see Logan and again he tested pretty much off their charts, which just means that he is testing older than his age, which is great. He now thinks he is a lion and I spend half of my day telling him that we do not lions roar in the house. Poor Bryant has had a busy week. Earlier this week he chipped a tooth trying to drive a tractor with a little help from his brother. Then he busted his mouth and yesterday morning he fell and cut his ear and head on the vent and had to go to the doctor and then to the platic surgeon for stitches. he got 4 in his ear and 2 in his head. I did not win mom of the year awards yesterday because I said, he is fine, put a bandaid on it and lets go. But my dear husband insisted and within a couple of hours my poor son was in a hospital gown waiting to be put under so the could stitch him up. But on a bright note we did meet with 2 of his biological brothers today. The pic of the 2 boys sittin on the ground are Skylar 7 and Liam 10 months. Bryant looks a lot like Sklyar and we are blessed to be able to start this relationship. It is a bit difficult to explain to our kids and for Skylar and Liams dad to describe to them, but we think that he will be better for it, knowing from the beginning. It was funny because the first think Skylar said was that Bryant had the same hair and eyes as he did. Their dad has also adopted 2 other children so he has 4 kids too. Although his are a bit more spread out.
Peyson is growing like a weed. He is crawling everywhere, finally pulling up and eating everything.
We had a great Halloween ,the kids thought getting all that candy was great until we told them they could pick 7 pieces each to keep in a bag and then we were going to get rid of the rest. Rosa got up later that night and caught Colby and I playing games and eating the good stuff. She was not super happy! We went to the pumkin patch 2 more times and the kids loved it, what a great find! Pam came to visit and the day she left Logan woke up and said "Where is my Granmda?" I said she had gone home and he said "Mom I want my Grandma right now!"
It is very hard to describe the pics because I cannot see them, but I think you shall figure them out easy enough! The pic of pumkins the kids painted, the tall one with the 2 people on it is Rosas and it is her and Grandma. Hope you are all doing well, I will try and do better!

on our mind
I cannot comment on these pics at all because they do not show up on my screen, just a bunch of random letters. But I think the collage is on there, a picture of Rosas Happy Birthday card to our friend Jerin, Rosa is realling loving learning to write her letters. She can write hers and Logans name on her own and everyonelses if we tell her how to spell them. she is going to love school some day. There is also a picture of the kiddos in their feety p.j.'s it is getting colder! I think the other is of the kids playing dress up. There is not a ton going on around here. Colby spent 3 days at a preachers retreat this week so the kids and I were on our own. But we survived great (we might have had a little help from Lyneil!)

Life in pictures
These are some pictures our friends Sherry and Katherine took while in OK, arent they great. I love their expressions. SO here are some funny things my kids have done lately.
We have started our nightly charts for behaviors we appreciate AGAIN! On there is having good manners at the table. So this means not saying “I don’t like .” They do not have to eat it but they cannot complain. So the other morning Colby gave them oatmeal and before she saw that she had fruit coming to, she looked at it and almost cried, but she bit her tongue! And one morning this week while we were at the beck house, Braxton ran out to greet us and took one look at Rosa and said “Good morning sweetheart.” So sweet!
Logan is still potty training so one day this week he decided that it would be good if we could pee at the same time, I have no idea where he got this, but I chalked it up to him being a boy. Anyway in my trying to explain the problem with this he said “Mom you are not a girl! Not a girl! You are a mommy!” I thought this was hysterical.
Bryant is an funny boy and he loves to laugh so last night while we were reading books I asked him how old he was.. I said “are you 1?” and he says “no 2” it is so funny to hear him say No because of the way he accents it. But he continued for the next 30 minutes to insist that he was 2.
Peyson may be my orneriest one yet because the boy refuses to eat for Colby or I, he will sometimes eat for others but seldom. So this morning I tried to feed him cereal for breakfast and he clams up and sticks his tongue out, he is not budging. I give up, now his loving sister comes along and says “I’ll do it mom” and sure enough the boy at the whole bowl!
