Here are some highlights from the week. taylor doing selfies with his iPod! He's really into his hair right now, and how he looks. I guess this his Jr High- right!?

Wednesday the boys had Dr. apps at the Fracture Clinic. Taylor had his cast removed! He was so excited to have his arm back! I am still constantly worried about him getting hurt again.

Cute Isaac had his big cast removed and got a shorter cast for 4 more weeks! Poor guy had a really bad break! He's handled it really well, and but we will all be VERY happy to have no more casts in a month. It's hard to no t be able to do sports, PE, write, ride a bike, play ball, jump on the trampoline etc.... It's worn me out!  Im happy they weren't hurt any worse, and have no further complications. The x-ray looks like their bone are healing great. 

Lizzie had a fun field trip to the pumpkin patch.  She had a blast and loved picking out her own pumpkin. Her preschool class is awesome!
I got to see cute baby James. He is so sweet, and precious!
Isaac likes selfies too. 

The kids had Fall Break this week so we had lots of fun. Danny went to China last weekend, and will be home in 8 days.
Thursday Isaac, Lizzie and a friend all went the Natural History Museum. It lots of fun and a perfect day, the kids like seeing all the dinosaurs etc.. 

Friday we went to the Zoo with cousins! It was a beautiful, warm sunny fall day and the zoo was fun! Cute little Henry was scared at the zoo and he kept saying
" I don't yike those animals."
He was nervous and a little scared but I think he had fun. The older kids love spending time with their cousins. We had two cousin sleepovers during Fall Break which was perfect. 

Here are a couple of pictures from Shanghai, China.
Danny rode in this bullet train from one city to the next.
He also visited the 2nd tallest building in the world. The floors were glass at the very top! It sounded very cool! 

Taylor and Emily headed to the Deep Creek Mountain range and hiked Ibapah Peak with grandpa Shields, Brett, Jeffrey & Mary!
They had a lot of fun hiking, camping, riding motorcycles, sleeping in the tent, eating junk food etc....

The hike was really steep and hard- 12 mile hike. They were both tired and sore, but said it was tons of fun! The views from the top look incredible ! I am so happy they had a fun coming trip with their cousin and am happy they are home safe. 

Isaac and Spencer love to go and explore at the Glen near our house. They could spend hours playing in the mud, water and rocks. We stayed for 2 hours and they weren't ready to leave yet. The girls had fun wading the water, and playing "Pioneers" with me. These kids are so cute when they use their imaginations and can explore outside. It makes me happy! 

This week is Emily's birthday! We are planning a fun party for her and her friends on Saturday night!
She is 10! I can't believe it! She's really growing up too fast!
