Happy Halloween!
It was Julia's first Trick or Treat experience. We went to 2 different "Trunk or Treats." Friday night Julia and I went to the Trunk or Treat we had at work. She went right along and picked out her candy and put it in her bucket. The first thing she got was a sucker.....she saw that and there was no stopping her. It was in her mouth!!! She was more interested in her sucker than finishing 'trick or treating'. It was fun to see her stop and look at everyone dressed up, she couldn't quite figure out what was going on?!
Saturday night we went to our ward Trunk or Treat. Daddy was able to come with us and join in the festivities:) At the carnival, Julia and I did the cake walk. She walked right along and enjoyed the music. She was dancing more than walking:) She loved to walk around and see everyone dressed up. She kept walking up to all the other kids and kept trying to grab their plastic pumpkins. We had a great time as a family. It was a great trick or treating experience!! She was certainly a cute little bug!!

Enjoying the Fall Weather!
On Saturday we all made a trip down to Thanksgiving Point to enjoy the festivities going on. We went to the Barn Yard Boo where they have all the farm animals to see. We took Julia around to look at all the barn yard animals. She was excited and wanted to pet all of them. She loved the horses the best. We had a good time as a family and really enjoyed the great fall weather. Below are some more pictures of our day.

I LOVE this time of Year!!
Its my favorite time of year. The feeling of Back to School (even though I'm not in school or sending anyone to school) College Football , Halloween, All the Fall colors. I put up my Halloween decorations the other day and so the House feels like Fall. And it feels like it is finally Fall. I was out on a walk with Julia the other day and it was so beautiful outside. It was the perfect cool temperature. The tips of the mountains had snow on them and you could see the colors changing on all the trees. What a great time of year. The Holidays are approaching fast but despite all the hussle and bussle, its a great time of year to be with friends and family. To enjoy the spirit of the season. To give thanks and serve! And enjoy the true meaning of the Holidays:)

I've Been Tagged!?
5 things people don't already know about me??? That's a tough one but I will see what I can come up with.
1. Well, I work at home for 1-800 Contacts and I work super early in the morning for most people. I tend to get out of bed 15 mins before my shift and work in my pajama's all morning. Definitely beats getting dressed and driving 30 mins to work!!
2. Lately, I do a lot of reading in the bathroom:) Good time to read the Ensign:)
3. T.V. shows that I can't miss, a guess I have a few guilty pleasures. One Tree Hill, America's Next Top Model ( I really just watch it for the photo shoots and the final results), and Project Runway!!
4. I think out loud and do most of my problem solving talking to myself while either driving in the car, taking a shower, of just getting ready in the bathroom. My husband will occasionally ask who I'm talking too?!
5. My husband and I love to watch the "Office" together on Thursday nights. We usually wait until we can both sit down together for the evening and watch it. We record it and a 30 min show can last 45 mins-60 mins because we rewind it so much. We love that show.....Hilarious!!
Well, I did it, 5 things.....its hard to come up with something people don't know about you??
Well and here is a 6th thing I will include in this tag:)
6. Health Update:
Well, I don't have Celiac Disease, which is when you are allergic to gluten and wheat products....so I won't need to change my diet to much. I guess I am still border line for Chron's disease and we are treating it as such. I still don't have things completely under control. I am doing intravenous treatment called Remicade, every 2 months now and we will see if that helps.
The doctor might think that I have an infection because of all the previous antibiotics I have been on so we are doing tests and waiting for results for that. If they are negative I am scheduled for another scope to see if things are healing at all and then I guess we go from there.
I am still trying to build up my iron because it is really low at the moment. I am doing a round of iron infusions to try and speed up that process along with iron supplements.
So I am trying to hang in there and trying not to become overwhelmed with this disease. Its just really hard to get things under control when you've had such a bad flare up as I have had. It certainly gets discouraging and frustrating for me but I try and take one day at a time. Slow and Steady wins the race!!!
Thanks to all my family that have helped me out!! I wouldn't be able to do it without you!! Love and appreciate all of you:)
