Thanksgiving Day

Before the race, Hyrum, who took fifth in the under 11 age group, poses with my sister Vero who took 11th for me :)
This is just after the race posing--Hyrum ahead, with red raceday-shirt long sleeves flapping in the WIND he created. Hyrum ran a 5k today with Vero. He did awesome! I was going to run with him but last night came down with fluid in my lungs so "the doctor" put me on medicine in the middle of the night and then went to work in the NICU until Friday after noon. Isaac took this picture. I didn't have the camera with me to take a picture during the race but Hyrum looked strong and ran well.

The boys went fishing on Friday

Look at all those fish!

There's a canal near our house that Isaac's scout pack fished on Tues. He came home saying they caught a WHOLE bunch of fish. Hyrum wanted to go immediately. I didn't really believe Isaac. So Friday. ...Here are some pictures. The screaming is Miriam seeing fish for the first time. I should have taken a picture of her face.

Preschool co-op for Miriam

Aren't those great looking people?

Had a great day today. I'm soo glad to be doing a co-op for Miriam. We talked about families and made marshmallow fams.

The Garden

Our tomatoes and corn are getting big.
Hyrum is the big garden helper.
Everyday we get a bag full of ripe tomatoes for about the past week. :)

Miriam burned her face :(

The blessing is that now about 6 weeks later you can barely see the burn.

Reed picked these flowers for Miriam on a hike up Mill Creek Canyon this past Friday.

She's holding her hand this way because she had fallen and scraped it. Thankfully, God has blessed her face to heal.

Miriam took this picture of herself.

She wanted a picture of the burn. I was so sad.

Lesson-be careful with the microwave.

Miriam wanted peanut butter and honey sandwiches for lunch. I tried to get the honey but it was coming out slowly so I said I would microwave it. In the meantime I started washing off Sara's high chair tray. Miriam decided she would do the microwaving so she stuck the little honey bear in, but, she didn't remove the cap and pushed 1 which meant it cooked for 1 minute. Miriam heard a pop so she went and opened the door(at 37 secs.). The honey had gotten too hot and exploded in the microwave. When she opened the door the honey splashed on her face and you see the resulting burn.

Camping up American Fork Canyon

In the middle of the night the dog barked at something. I liked having the dog in the middle of nowhere.

Cesar with Sara really early since she didn't sleep well.

By 6 am we'd had enough and began packing. We made it home just in time for free breakfast at Dan's.

This is what we did to end Cesar's vacation after spending nearly the entire three weeks working on the back yard.
