Haunted Hayride

This little lady captures my heart every second I look at her. Her cuteness blows my mind. We took her to the Springs Preserve to see all the Halloween lights and go on a "Haunted Hayride." We all enjoyed ourselves very much. The little cow or cowgirl as Roman calls her got a lot of attention!

The Light of our Life!

Cuddles before bed





1st time in the cart without the carseat. Thank you mom for making it for her. She's still a little wobbly in it so I'll probably wait a couple weeks before trying that again. She got a lot of attention though.

Picnic

Roman specifically sought out the balloon lady so that she could make this
beautiful head band flower for our little lady.

Really people?!?!?!?!

Oh that smile....

What a lovely flower you have upon your head!

Rodeo Time

We went to a Senior Rodeo with Brad and Wanda. Going into this I had in my head that it was a Senior rodeo as in high school seniors here in BC (they have a rodeo team) BUT it was a Senior rodeo as in Seniors....the over 40 variety. Even an 82 year old participated.

Roman's Family Visits

When Roman's family came to celebrate his sister's fiances 40th birthday, we joined them for a night down on the strip. We got to visit our favorite place in Vegas, the botanical gardens at Bellagio. For a better view of the whole garden go to bellagio.com.

Dinner at Paris's buffet

Sasha, Roman's cousin holds Brystol while her daughter, Greta checks her out. Greta didn't want to leave her baby (Brystol) and when her sister came to see Brystol she blocked her and wouldn't let her close. Soooo cute!



Aunt Gretchen watched Brystol for us a few days. Thanks Aunt Gretchen!!!



Heart Doctor

We went back to the heart doctor to see if the flap that was open on her heart had closed on its own and thankfully it had. A new problem was found though, again actually. The doctor originally found it when she was in the NICU but didn't see it for some reason on our first office visit when she was a couple weeks old. Today he did see it. She has a condition called ductus arteriosus. I'm not even going to try to explain it......google should work well for you. It explains it nicely. Unfortunately, this usually affects premie girls so Brystol has a double whammie she was 6 weeks early and a girl! This condition may correct itself but the doctor said it was unlikely. Nothing can be done until she's 3 years old but we'll go back in a year to check things out. As always, our little lady was good as gold through both tests!

Our always smiling, happy 8 month old little lady!
