I know my family and friends have wondered where I have gone since my last post was in March. I'm still here and much has happened since. Life has a way of doing that! I have been really sick trying to function normally with a smile not wanting anyone to know. My digestive system has had problems here and there. It eventually go worse and worse. I will spare you the details of my digestive system's woes however! So I decided to be my own doctor because of lack of insurance. Through talking with good friends and family I decided to go gluten and dairy free and then see what happens.If you know me giving both up is a big deal! I love homemade bread and a big glass of milk. I mean who doesn't! After what seemed like an eternity of mortal pain, my digestive system is feeling much better. Even though it doesn't solve all my health problems, I can function at a higher level. I'm so grateful for that! So instead of catching up with everything through the summer I thought I would post the most recent events.

The air show at Nellis Air Force Base.
It is really cool to see the planes. You even
get to go inside some of them. We did loose
Brittany for a short time period. It was a little
scary. A family found her crying. I was so glad
she was o.k.

St. George

We went to see our friends the Groomes get

sealed as a family. It was wonderful! Not a

dry eye in the room. My aunt Marianne lives

there and was so nice to let us invade her house.

She also took us to see her horse at her friend's

place. The girls loved it! My aunt had surgery

five days prior on her leg. It was nice of her

and my uncle to spend time with us.

Halloween Fun!

Disneyland

We went to Disneyland! We were excited!

This was my kids first trip. We did service as

a family and received free tickets to Disneyland.

We had a great time! We also went to the beach.

I decided you can't go to California and not go

to the beach. It was a much needed trip and so

fun!
