Tonsils and Adenoids come out for Christmas

On Tuesday Nathan was scheduled to have his adenoids removed, after talking with the Doc. we decided to consent for the removal of his tonsils as well if need be....needless to say the Doc. was very glad we okayed it because they were FULL of infection.

Heading off to the O.R.
Back in his room after surgery, he had the best nurses, they were so nice to him!
Breathing in a little oxygen while recouping before we head home. Surgery was at 7 am and we left about 11 am. Now he is home recouping during Christmas break, his throat will be very sore for the next 2-3 weeks while he heals. He gets to eat lots of Popsicles, sherbet, anything cold or soft.

Beauty and the Beast

Throughout the months of Sept., Oct., and Nov. Geoff had been rehearsing for the play Beauty and the Beast. On Nov. 12-16 they performed and it was awesome, Geoff had two parts he was the baker and one of the spoons in the castle, he loved every minute of it. Here are a few pictures from the night we went to watch.

The Art of Bricks....Legos

We went up to Park City this weekend to see an Art exhibit all the creations are made of Lego's and that is all, we had a good time with Tyler and Brigitte as well. These are just some of the cool pieces that the Artist named Nathan Sawaya does.
This one is just called Green, sorry the pics aren't the greatest I only had my camera phone with me. We are not sure if its is taking its head off or putting it on....you choose.
This is all made out of Legos including the mirror and reflection.

This one is just called Blue, but the figure was putting itself together, you can't see it but it has a piece in its hand.
I had Nate stand next to this one so you could really see how big it was.

Nathan's B-day and Goblin Valley

There are rock formations like this everywhere you look! This is where Nathan wanted to go for his birthday and so we went down and stayed with Grandma and Grandpa Eppley in there trailer, they were down there for a race that Grandma and Curtis participated in. If you have never been, I suggest making a trip down there!
Geoff and Dexter up on the Goblin hill.
We thought this one looked like a mouse, it was about 12 feet up and when Nathan jumped off it his momentum shot him head first into a little one down below....he had quite the head ache!
Chris, Nate and Annie up on the Goblins.
Christopher found his Thrown, just call him King Chris. There were lots of holes in the rock walls that the kids found and said they were beds in the rock.
Geoff and Nathan climbed up to this little area on the rocks.
Nathan is such a little free climber, he has NO fear and will look for hand and foot holds so he climb up the rock.
This is one of the narrow paths going up Little Wild Horse Canyon, it was such a neat place to hike, there were places that you had to climb up and over rocks and you would also have to walk sideways through some of the places.
