Surgery time

The girls both had their tonsils and adnoids removed this month, and Kaitlin got tubes in her ears.

It was quite the experience. When the girls were given their first sedative they acted so goofy. Kaitlin just laughed at everything and couldn't even sit up. When they took her away in her wagon she just layed down and laughed. She didn't care one bit.

Cadence wanted to push a toy stroller around even though she couldn't walk, and she thought it was funny. She had a little more time in the waiting room than Kaitlin so she got tired and layed in her wagon until it was her time to go back. We got to follow her a little further than we did with Kaitlin, so Cadence went one way down the hallway while Steve and I went the other way. She cried "I want my mamma!" and I had to hold back the tears cause I was so nervous and felt so bad.

Kaitlin had to have her anesthesia reversed because she kept holding her breath and wouldn't breath. She ended up being on oxygen for most of the day. Steve got to be with her when she woke up and he said she just kept crying, but wouldn't breath in.

I got to be with Cadence when she woke up, and she was upset and crying so hard. Once again I had to hold back the tears. I don't like to see my girls upset. It was also hard that they weren't next to each other, & I couldn't see Kaitlin. Steve brought her over once she was calmed down though and they put us next to each other in the second recovery room. Cadence ended up being on oxygen for several hours also. It ended up being a long day, but all is well once again and they can breathe so much better. Their room is so quiet at night without all the snoring and gasping.

Halloween

I got ambitious and made the girls halloween costumes this year. Mainly I did it because I couldn't find any I thought were cute, and we were stuck with the cow and lamb idea. (which the girls thought up all by themselves, I was suprised when they came up with coordinating costumes.) My mom helped me a ton, so thanks mom! I think they turned out really cute, and the girls had fun trick-or-treating; even in the rain. Kaitlin did get mad every time we stopped at a house and they didn't answer the door. She would start yelling "they are home, they are home" when I told her no one was home.

Fun at the Pumpkin Patch

How did Grandma end up pushing all the kids in the wheel barrow? That's quite the load.

It's nice to have pictures with smiles!

The cousins having too much fun!

Our Disney Adventures

The girls and Pluto. Cadence doesn't really like the life size characters, but Kaitlin thought they were great!

Mickey and the Family

Steve and I got to celebrate our birthdays at Goofy's Kitchen. If I have to turn thirty, I guess doing it in Disneyland isn't a bad way to go.

So Many Princesses, So Little Time

California Adventure

The girls hugging Pooh Bear. Cadence didn't like that too much.

Petting The Goats

Cadence Loved the Dumbo Ride

The Night View from our room. Pretty Cool Huh?

Knotts Berry Farm

This ride wasn't motorized, the girls had to push the bar back and forth to make it go, it was pretty funny. The ride attendant had to push them because they couldn't figure it out.
