Appendicitis Halloween

Once again Jeffrey and I made the trek back home to Roseville for the weekend. We went home for Gage's blessing, Mom's birthday, and Halloween.
The trip began with a drive with no heater. Driving through Nevada when it's 20 degrees outside with no heater can get a bit chilly in the car... Hense the following picture of Jeffrey with gloves and a blanket. We got to Roseville at 2 am and we went right to bed at 4 am I woke up with a really bad "stomach ach." It continued to get worse until finally at 3pm I went to the dr. and by 4 I was hooked up to an IV and admitted to the hospital to have my appendix taken out.
Needless to say the weekend didn't quit turn out as planned. Our plan was to drive back to Utah on Sunday, but because of my surgery we stayed in Roseville until Tuesday (I swear it wasn't planned but it sure worked out well!!) I was pretty drugged the whole weekend and not a lot fun. Hence the rest of the pictures aren't terribly exciting. But it was fun being home!!
Here is Matty as an army man.
And Alex as Jack Sparrow
Spiderman, Tinkerbell and Batman.The prettiest Tinkerbell I've ever seen.
Bennet as Dracula
Dannon as the suave Batman
Brody has his webs ready to go
The crew getting ready to go out trick or treating. I was really bummed. I had just gotten out of the hospital a couple hours prior to this and before we came out to CA I was so excited to go trick or treating with all the kids. Jeffrey and I walked to the end of the street and back with them and I came back wiped out and slept the rest of the night. Par-tay animal.
Marley wanted in on all the pictures with mom and dad
Rogue and Wolverine's brother (Seriously can't remember his name, help me out Mel!!) They looked awesome...even had dog-tags made
Mom's birthday, so happy Halloween is over! Doesn't she look great?!
The lovely Elizabeth
I didn't do much besides sit around so I was lucky enough my friends and family came to me!! Here is Kimi and Noah! He's huge!
I'm not sure where this picture came from but look at my dear - ol - pops. I just love him.
Last but not least
I'm expecting!!!
Just kidding.
No where near that. I'm just that swollen from surgery still.
The whole surgery was kinda a bummer but I was happy to spend so much time with my family. I am also so grateful for Jeffrey and how well he took care of me. It was definatly wonderful having a husband through something like this. But also, my parents and Mel. Thank you everyone for all the help!!!

Even though you were half asleep most of the trip, it was a blast hanging out with you and Jeff. Wolverine's brother is Victor Creed, also known as Sabertooth. That was fun dressing up. Anyway, can't wait until Christmas time ... it seems so far away!

What a weekend you had!!! That stinks about the appendix...but a great excuse to stay longer! :) I feel your pain, it's not a fun recovery...so sore! All the kids look great in their costumes, and I love Mel and Chris's as well! Hope you get some rest and feel better soon! :)

Hey girl...sorry about your crazy trip. I am glad to hear that you were with family and you are doing better. I totally would've brought you a care package. :) One day we will see each other again. Take care my friend!!!! PS yes chris and I are back together. The break up lasted like a month and a half. It was special.
