The Many Adventures Of Us

I have finally realized that October will always be a busy month for us, but I feel like this month has been crazier than I expected. A lot of ups and a few downs. It's definitely been exciting at our house the past couple of weeks and it will only get more exciting. Here is some of our adventures so far ...

The Party Thing
We did a little birthday party for Caroline with her friends. She was so excited and helped color the invitations. It's amazing to see how fast your kids grow up. I am enjoying this little girl so much. She has so much fun at the party. We played pin the smile on the pumpkin, we had a scavenger hunt, we decorated pumpkin cookies and did the whole cake and presents thing. What a fun day and Rex was loving it just as much. He adores his sister and wants to be just like her.
My birthday Boy
It was Nathans birthday and I surprised him with a getaway to Dallas to see the U2 concert at the new Cowboy stadium. It was so much fun and the best concert that both of us had ever been to. We both love creating memories for one another and this is one we will always remember. We knew every song which made the performance even better. Most of all it was so fun to be with Nathan. Not very often do we get to sleep in together and spend time with just the two of us. I love Nathan so much. He is my best friends and I am so grateful that he is my partner forever. Thanks Nathan for being the man that you are, and being such a wonderful husband, father, friends, worker, leader, brother, son and everything else that you are.





No More Rigby's Jumping On The Bed
We returned home from our fun getaway picked up our kids at the friends house and within ten minutes Caroline decided to jump off the bed and break her arm. She was so sad. We asked her if she wanted to get a toy or candy after it was all over and she said "I want you to take my hurt away". That just about made my heart break. She broke both bones between her wrist and elbow on her right arm and it almost broke through the skin. Thank goodness for drugs, because her hurt was gone really fast. She was a champion and she seems to be adjusting really well. No more monkeys jumping on the bed for this family.



Birthday Girl
It was our Lina Lou's birthday and it was so much fun spending this day with her. She is such a fun little spirit in our home and we can't imagine what life would be like without her. She loves to play dress up, play with barbies, run around and wrestle with the boys and sing and dance. She loves going to school and playing with all of her friends. She is always the life of the party. She is such a curious little girl who always so excited about life. Sometimes it is hard to keep up with her, but we wouldn't have it any other way. She weighs about a whopping 23 lbs right now, but what she lacks in bulk she makes up for in personality. She has got this little smokers voice right now, that we hope she grows out of, but it makes us laugh. We love her so much and are so proud of who she has become so far. We can't wait to see what she has in store for us tomorrow!
