Go Devils, what we've been up to, and Kamden is 4 months!

I have a lot of catching up to do! We were able to go to the Sun Devils game with Nic a few weekends ago, most the boys on the Despain side have season tickets and so he goes to every home game. Randy had an extra ticket so I was invited to go and of course we had to bring the kids in their ASU gear LOL. Here are a few of my favorite pictures!

We are loving this weather! Lots of Park Days and bike riding! I also got to watch my friend Amanda Hall's two boys while she went visit teaching and they are about the same age as my kiddo's so we had a lot of fun!

Taya and Madden




Kamden and Kolten




and Marcus of course


Here is a picture of Kamden at the doctor yesterday.

Doctor says he looks great. Still chubby as ever. He got three shots and an oral vaccine. He was not a happy guy after that, he ran a bit of a fever and has slept a lot today.He weighed 16lbs even and 26 inches! Taya was 14lbs 2 oz and 24in at this age. Kamden is in the 75% for weight and 80% for height!

Comparison... Do you think they look a like??

A New Neighbor-Grandma-Costumes-Halloween

The month of October flew by. I am still amazed that it is already November and I know by the time I get use to the idea of it being November that it will be December!!Any way, we had a new neighbor move in for a little bit this month... Taya calls him batty!


Yes it is a bat!

On October 20th my mom called me and told me that my Grandma Bigler was not doing well and if I wanted to see here then I needed to come now. So I called Nic and started getting the kids packed and then I received a phone call not an hour later from my mom letting me know that grandma had passed away. I was really upset at myself that I didn't try to visit her sooner. She had been battling Breast Cancer for a couple years and had been living with my Aunt Penny and Uncle Cleon in Idaho. Her last treatment of chemo they told her the cancer had doubled and that there was really nothing more they could do. So she returned home to Heber. She had missed home! She was a loving and talented woman. I wish I would have continued with the piano lessons she taught! She was very strong in the gospel and an avid D-backs fan! I had the great opportunity to curl her hair for the funeral. I know she appreciated it and as I did this service for her memories flooded back. I could almost hear her telling me how she liked it done just like when I had curled it and rolled it for her when she was alive. I will miss her dearly but I know she is not in any pain anymore and she has been reunited with 3 sons, a husband, and grandchildren that have gone before her. I love you Grandma.

So October brought a lot of dressing up for Miss Taya. She was a fairy for my sisters Trunk or Treat in the valley. Kelli got her a ASU cheer outfit at a yard sell that she had to wear all day one day. She then was Dorthy off of Wizard of Oz on Halloween. My mom made the costume and it was adorable. She was the cutest Dorthy you ever saw. Kamden wasn't going to be anything. I really didn't want to spend money on a costume for him and I didn't really want to call around to see if anyone had one I could borrow either. So I had decided he wasn't going to dress up. I went to one of my moms neighbors to borrow a slip to go with Taya's dress and she insited that I take a costume she had for Kamden... so he was "the cutest skunk you ever saw" and he smelt good too!
