What a ride!!!

WOW!!!  I am really bad at updating this, but oh well....it is my blog and I will update when I want :)! 
We have had a crazy few weeks...I feel like we are on a rollercoaster (but I guess that is life right).  Here are a few bullet points of things that have been going on in the King House.
* Chad was very very sick for about two weeks at the end of September.  He had that flu and let me tell you it was mean.  He was down with that for about 4 days and I mean down like he could barely move.  Then just as he was recovering from that he got bronchitis (sp?).  And that really took a toll because he wasn't fully recovered from the flu.  We are glad he is well though, we missed his crazy playful nature. 
* Luckily no one else got sick.  While he had the flu I took the boys to my parents for most of the day and just hung out so we wouldn't be around Chad very much.  I am sure he was lonely but I didn't want to take a chance and get the boys sick. 
* Three weeks ago my Grandma Lambert was put in the hospital and is still there.  They weren't sure at first what was wrong and finally figured out that it was an infection in her blood.  She went septic and her kidneys started to fail.  They discovered that the infection was centered around the pace maker in her heart and they would either need to do surgery to remove it or she would die.  Well they decided to do the surgery even though that was also risky.  She came out of the surgery fine but was still not out of the woods.  The infection is doing better but her kidneys are still failing and she has to have dialysis about three times a week.  She is getting very tired and run down.  Some days are good and others not so good so we just take it a day at a time.  We have gone to Utah twice to see her and we hope and pray that she will make it through this.  She is such a strong and amazing woman!!!
* Saturday we celebrated Daniel's birthday!!!!!  He is now 1 and I can't believe it.  We were in Utah in the morning but drove home and just celebrated here with just our family.  We did cake and ice cream and then opened presents.  The crazy thing it the boy who will eat just about anything wanted nothing to do with the cake.  I even put some in his mouth and he spit it out.  He ate the ice cream but was still not sure how he felt about it.  We were very surprised! 
Well that is the last few weeks in a nut shell now for some pictures!!!!!

Bath Time!!!


Munching on some corn.  Is it just me or does he look very old in this picture?


Just chillin'


While in Utah we went to Gardner Village. They had is all decorated for Halloween.  It was tons of fun.  We went with Tia, Karter, Grandma Poulson, Carrie, and Kylee.
