October

October was a very eventful month for the Lay Family. Between, Keith being in Utah for 8 days for work, me losing my gall bladder and trying to fit in Halloween festivities, I think I can say we are all glad to finally be in the month of November. Thank you everyone for your well wishes during my gall bladder surgery. I am healing well and will hopefully have relief from the ongoing pain I once was having. Here is a glimpse of the month...no, you won't see any xrays, ultrasounds, or gall bladder pics(Debbie!).


We were able to go fishing before Keith left for Utah. We were just about to leave and what do you know, we caught something, a catfish.

Mason enjoys a Chocolate Halloween cupcake made by my coworker, Carmen. She is a fantastic baker!
We visited The Farm, a local farm in North Las Vegas. It was quite small, but was just enough for the kids. There were chickens, peacocks, turkeys, ponies, and of course, pumpkins. Mackenzie was on the hunt for the "right" pumpkin to take to school.

Mason followed the chicken around the pumkpin patch. He wasn't quite sure what to make of it! Hmmm...dinner?

I was able to volunteer in Mackenzie's classroom for Pumpkin Math. The students had a fun time observing, measuring, and squishing! Kindergarten is so much fun!


Our lil' firefighter and Tinkerbell get ready for some treats.

Mason enjoys his first treat of the evening. See the sticky drool?
