My new hair cut

I decided to get a new hair cut on Wednesday. I was sick of my hair and not being able to do anything with it so here is my new dew. I really like it. It is a lot lighter on my head and I don't get headaches as much. I meant to take a before picture so you could see the difference, but I forgot, but the lady took about 6 inches off. The pile of hair was huge!!

Being Tagged

The rules of the game should be posted at the beginning of the post. Each player lists 6 facts/habits about themselves. At the end of the post, the player then tags 6 people and posts their names, then goes to their blogs and leaves them a comment, letting them know that they have been tagged and asking them to read your blog.

1. I am a mother of a VERY special little boy. Tyler is doing great after his surgery and will hopefully get out of his cast in about 3 weeks. I think he is missing school, and I am missing him going to school so I can have a little break. I love being at home with him, but it is nice to be able to run some errands while he is at school. I hope to have more children in the near future, but we will see what happens.

2. I live in Henderson, Nevada and I actually like it. I never thought I would like it here, but it is actually nice. I love being near family and the weather this time of year (fall) is awesome!! I love the church here. The members are great and have really strong testimonies, and that helps my testimony.

3. I am married to a great man. He is a hard worker and a great father and friend. His business is doing great and it is growing every month. Sometimes I wish he would start working before noon so he could get home earlier, but he gets his work done so I guess I shouldn't complain.

4. I recently got my hair cut and I love it!! I will post pictures soon. It was getting long and it drove me crazy so I decided to go for it and get it chopped. The lady cut about 6 inches off.

5. I love to try new recipes! Especially Rachael Ray recipes. They are really simple and most of them only take 30 minutes. If you have not tried any of her recipes I think you should. Some of my favorites are her Cowboy spaghetti, Ultimate Spaghetti and meat balls, Firecracker Enchiladas. I can get you the recipes if you would like.

6. I like to scrapbook and quilt, but I haven't had the time to do any lately. We should be getting into our house in the next week or so and I hope to have more time to do these fun things then. In my own house I won't feel bad about leaving everything out so I can work on it again the next day.

I tag Linda (and you better participate!!), Debbie, Kistena, Tannielle, Marcie, and Lisa.

Tyler

Tyler is finally starting to feel better after his surgery. He was doing well after the first two weeks but then he started fussing every time we would move him. Last Monday when I changed his diaper I noticed some funny spots at the top of his diaper so I went looking for the culprit. I found two pressure sores inside his cast. They looked REALLY bad!! Monday night after the doctor did not call me back we decided that we needed to do something so we cut his cast away from them and put bandages on them. Tuesday evening the doctor finally called me and we got in to see him on Wednesday morning. He gave us some medicated pads to put on the sores to help them heal and sent us on our way. Since we have cut the cast away form them and put the medicated pads on them, they are doing a ton better! Tyler is getting back to himself again too. We caught these smiles yesterday morning when we were getting ready for church.

Red Rock

Mike & Tyler on the way home

Mike, Tyler and I drove out to Red Rock on Saturday. We had a great time and it was so pretty out there. Mike and I decided that we need to go out there again when we don't have Tyler though so we can do some hiking around. If we are not moving this weekend we might give it a shot!

Halloween 2007

Tyler getting ready for Halloween

Dressed up and ready to go

This trick or treating is hard work!

We hope all of you had a great Halloween. We went to our ward trunk or treat then went and visited with some family. We had a great time and Tyler looked SOO cute as a mummy. He got warn out though and had to take a little cat nap. It was great to be out of the house though!

Tyler's Surgery

Tyler had surgery on his right hip on October 11th. He did great and is recovering well. He will be in this cast for 10-12 weeks. We are hoping for the 10 weeks because then he will be out just before Christmas, but that may not happen, we will have to wait and see. We are giving him less pain meds so he doesn't sleep quite as much as he was, but he is still pretty sleepy most of the time. Tyler hangs out in this chair and sleeps here because it lounges, but he is not flat on his back. He actually looks pretty comfy most of the time. This was taken when he first got home.

The Gorge near Portland

We also saw some beautiful waterfalls and sites in the gorge area near Portland. The leaves were changing and it was very beautiful. And can you believe that we got Bill out there with us too!! We have the picture to prove it. We went on a hike and saw some wild life too-mostly slugs but we don't see those in Las Vegas so they were a little exciting. We thought this picture of Tyler with the caterpillar turned out way cute so I wanted to share it. If you ever get out to Portland I would definitely recommend that you drive out here because it is worth it!!
