Ramblings.... and pictures of course!

Is Taylor the cutest little elf or what?! We've had a busy week again with all the election stuff, work, and house guests. Steve and Ann and DJ came from Wyoming to see Steph and Wade and the kids and stayed with us. Then we had a nice dinner on Sunday with everyone.

Bryce is healing well and the steroids they have him on are making him very hungry and buff!

Wade started chemo on Tuesday and got a pump attached to his port that will slowly feed the poison into his bloodstream... he goes in again today for a refill. He had a rough day Tuesday, a little better on Wednesday and I haven't talked to them yet today. As if they don't have enough drama and stress, McKenna broke her arm while trick-or-treating! Steph is close to the breaking stage!

Tonight is McKenna's concert and we are going to hear her sing. Only 12 kids from her school were chosen to participate and she is one of them! Good job, Kenna!

The grands are all doing great this week. Kallie has been cranky still. I think it's her normal two-year old attitude and her mom may just be stuck with it for a year or so... She got in trouble the other day for telling Abbie to "shut up!" We have no idea where she heard that nice phrase from! So her mom was getting after her and said, "do you understand me" to which Kallie replied in a very loud little voice, "NO!" yup... off to time out for that one!

But doesn't she have the CUTEST curls ever!!

Abbie has been working very hard to stop sucking her thumb at night. She knows grandma has the new Tinkerbell movie for her when she stops. However, yesterday she was having a rough day (she had just gotten hit in the nose by a flying princess!-courtesy of Kallie) and I was talking to her on the phone and asked her how she was doing with the thumb sucking. She told me she was trying really hard not to suck it. I said, "well, keep trying so you can have the Tinkerbell movie". Abbie said, "We have enough movies grandma". My plan just got shot down big time! But then she told me she wants the new Kung Fu Panda movie so we may be able to make the deal yet!

She is always thinking of ways to get what she wants... the other day she was trying to convince her mom that M & Ms are vegetables because they have so many different colors! I don't think her mom fell for her reasoning and I don't think she got M & Ms until after she ate her dinner! Silly girl! She keeps her parents on their toes that is for sure! She and Kallie love to play dress up and here they are as princesses...

The Wyoming grands all went to the dentist yesterday and did great! It was Taylor's first time in the chair and she did PERFECT! We were a little worried for the dentist and what might happen to his fingers, but she was great! Their crazy mom already has a Christmas tree set up and has been making stockings and doing all her shopping!

We are excited to get to see them all in a few weeks for some Thanksgiving fun!

Question of the day..... How many Stucki's can you fit on a bean bag???

Until next time, keep your face to the sun and bloom where you are planted!
