Puttin' Down Roots: Catchin' Up

OKAY....I know I've been away from the blogging world.

SO, here is a quick update.......

Halloween was FUN! Noah really enjoys all holidays. He gets very excited. So we had a ward party on Friday night, October 30th. It was a carnival with games for the kids, dinner (chili & hot dogs) and pies for dessert (this was a contest that I chose not to participate in). We had a great time.

Saturday, HALLOWEEN, we had dinner with our friends The Ryan's & then off to Trick-or-Treat. The kids had a great time. It wore Noah out and then we came home. He was asleep 15 minutes later.

Sunday, Scott wasn't feeling the greatest and Noah was actually a little under the weather. SO, I went to church by myself. I had to go....I got a new calling on this day. I am now the 1st counselor in the Primary Presidency. Yay. So, I came home & nursed my two sickies.

Monday, I kept Noah home from preschool because I just wanted to make sure he was fine. He was great, ate breakfast, threw up, played, ran around. And the day went on. By evening, he was completely normal (whatever that may be).

So Tuesday, HAPPY BIRTHDAY TO ME! Noah & I went to Disneyland with my Mom & my niece Savanna. We had a great day. The park wasn't crowded & we were able to go on a lot of rides & have a fun day. Later that night when I was driving home....Scott called & told me not to come home because he was SUPER SICK. Too late, we were on our way home already.

The next morning Noah & I evacuated our home. Scott told me to take Noah & leave and go stay at my parents house. We actually stayed at my parents until Tuesday of the following week. The diagnosis.....THE SWINE FLU! Ugh. (I think he got it from the Ward Halloween Party). There are a lot of people at church who have it that were at the party.

We are glad that Scott is doing a lot better. He was really sick. Really sick!!!! He is slowly getting better. It is amazing to me how it has just taken all of his energy. I've never seen him this sick. Noah & I were able to escape this nastiness (that is word, right !?!?). I'm sure that we have been exposed to the swine flu, anyone who has gone out in public has been exposed. That's just my opinion. Did you know that you are contagious for 7 days!!! That is insane.

So, now life is slowly getting back to normal. Whatever that may be. The holidays are so quickly approaching....it kind of scares me! Who can believe that Thanksgiving is next week?? Crazy!

So, we are in the Christmas Decorating Mode. Those who know us, know that is will be great when it is completed...but oh, the process!!!
