3rd Typhoon for Devin

We received an e mail from Devin's mission President telling us a typhoon was going to hit his area.  The missionaries are being evacuated.  They are to take a 72 hour backpack with them and some small cash.  He will let us know more information.  We thought that was so nice of his President, because he has never e mailed us on the other ones.  We feel very blessed to know that our missionaries our protected and that they will be safe.

Thanksgiving at the cabin

We love to go to the cabin for Thanksgiving.  This year Dustin and Rochelle's family came and spent the weekend with us.  We had a fantastic dinner and homemade pies.  The weather was in the low 50's so we were able to sit on the beach and enjoy the sun while fishing.  The fishing was excellent!  We decided not to cut down a real tree this year.  Cal has torn the muscle in his arm and we didn't want Dustin to drag 2 tree down the mountain.  We had a blast we were sad to see the weekend come to an end.

My experience with botox and nerve blocks

The reason is started using botox for my migraines is because nothing else had worked.  I went to a pain and spine Dr, his name is Dr. Davis.  When he gave me my 2nd injections they only worked for one month.  They are quite painful, no numbing medicine they just go in with the needle and shoot the meds in.  I have to wait for 90 days for the next injections so I had to have nerve blocks.  These were twice as painful they use a lot bigger needles.  My forehead swells up and Cal teases me that I look like Frankenstein. HA HA   I get injections by my temples, above my eyebrows, between my eyebrows, down the back of my skull, across the back of my shoulders, and the back of my neck.  The first nerve block lasted 3 weeks and the 2nd one only lasted 2 days.  My next botox injection didn't work.  I was so sad.  Now I am back to the beginning and don't know what to try for my migraines.  All I can do is to keep praying every day to my Heavenly Father to help me each day to ease the pain.  I keep my chin up that one day I will figure it out.

Train Ride

The kids talked Uncle Dustin into driving the train for him.  They love riding in the train!  They could stay in it all day!!  Thanks Dustin or being a good sport and driving the train.

Halloween

The kids looed so cute on Halloween.  Addie was Cinderella, Kolten was Olaf, Paityn was a Rapunzel, Paisley was a Mermaid and Kaydence was Flounder.  All Disney Characters, so fun!!!  They went trick or treating around our neighborhood and then met back here for pizza and burger beans.  Followed by root beer floats.  We had around 140 kids come by our house this year, we gave out the big size candy bars.

Paityn, Paisley, and Addie's Birthday

Well I kind of forgot my camera for the girls birthday parties.  I felt so bad.  Each one of them did a cute theme.  Paityn age 2 did a Minnie Mouse party, Paisley age 2 did an Under The Sea party, and Addie age 4 did a Frozen party. 

Manti Temple

Our ward has put together a Temple outing every other month.  We pass a sign up sheet around.  Whoever signs up, we get together and attend a Temple.  This month we went to the Manti Temple.  We went on Friday.  Everyone got together for dinner  and we ate at a really good Mexican restaurant, then we spent the night in a hotel that was right across the street from the Temple.  We did a live session and the rooms in the Temple were breathtaking.  The spirit was very strong.  I know I was suppose to be there.  After our session a Temple worker showed us the spiral stair cases.  They go up so high I almost did a backbend to see the top.  It was such a wonderful experiences and a great way to become closer with our friends and neighbors.  I can hardly wait for the next one.
