Too much excitement

We have had lots of excitement at our house lately. Grandma and Grandpa Frost visited, we took a trip to SeaWorld, carved pumpkins, and ended the boys soccer season. ALL of which I have lots of pictures of and was really excited to blog about. Until this happened....

No, we didn't decide to dress up as doctor and patient for Halloween. Monday I spent the day in the Emergency Room with abdominal pain. (I know I look drugged in this picture- that's probably because I was).

I ended up having my appendix removed and spending a night in the hospital. I have spent the rest of this week hobbling around the house feeling pretty useless. I am so grateful to the family, friends and ward members who have been such a wonderful support system. We have had meals brought in, help taking the boys to school, help watching Abbi, flowers and cards and emails sent and phone calls received. It has strengthened my testimony that our Father in Heaven is mindful of us and blesses our lives through those around us.

I still fully intend on posting all of my "exciting pictures," but it might take a little while to get the stamina for that!

We are in trouble...

Abbi really likes boys. And it's a good thing, because it seems like all of her best buddies are boys. Abbi is always talking about Logan, Tyke and Crew, Isaac and Spencer. It is not uncommon to see her hugging these boys, trying to hold their hands, or snuggling up next to them. As you can see, she especially likes Crew.

However, I have never seen her do this...

Apparently this is pretty common behavior when she goes to Crew's house.

When I showed this picture to Colby he said, "he's way too old for her." (he's three)

When I asked Abbi about this picture she said, "I like Crew."

All I have to say is "we're in trouble!"

F is for....

Fall

It is finally cooling down a little around here. The first morning that it felt COOL I think I got a little overly excited and busted out all the kid's Fall clothes. I have since discovered that this was a little premature as it is still in the mid 80's. This Fall it looks like we will still be wearing our shorts and T's.

Friends

One of the bonuses of it cooling off a little is that we are using our backyard more.

The kids love to go outside and jump, play soccer and play with friends. OH, and eat carmeled apples- what could be more FALL?

Fun

Last weekend we held our fifth annual Haunted House decorating party. We had chili and cheesy brocolli soup for dinner then went to work building our houses.

This year it took five boxes of graham crackers, four doctors, three glue guns and two steak knives to build the haunted houses. All I can say is these dads have some serious skills.

Carter gave the night a "thumbs up."

The Fluhman family with their cute haunted house.

The Lane's decorated a "haunted warehouse."

The kids were all happy with the finished products.

Family

Last week we were also lucky enough to have Grandma and Grandpa Stewart come for a visit. Although it was a short visit (they were on their way home from a business trip in Houston), we packed in a lot of fun.

Abbi, Colby and Grandpa on the beach at Lake Belton.

Abbi got a little too close to the water and went for a swim, and Grandma jumped in after her!

Thanks for the visit guys!

Stay tuned for more Fun from the Frost's, coming soon!

Fun with Family in San Antonio

Last weekend we took a quick trip down to San Antonio to visit my brother Scott and Aleese, who were there for a month doing a rotation for medical school. The kids were so excited to see their little cousins. It was so fun to spend the weekend with family.

Lilly, Abbi and Carter

One of many attempts at getting a good picture of the kids together. This one cracks me up!

After taking about fifteen pictures, we finally got one that (kind of) turned out.

While we were in San Antonio we had to stop by the River Walk,

and the Alamo.

I discovered that I need to brush up on my history. The only thing I could remember about the Alamo is that we are supposed to remember it.

We ended the weeked with some chocolate fondue. It was just as good as these two make it look.

Thanks Scott and Aleese for the fun weekend. We are keeping our fingers crossed that there is a residency in San Antonio somewhere in your future!
