Broken Leg
I woke up early this morning and headed out to the garden to get some weeding done. I heard some of the kids wake up around 8 and head out to the trampoline. Awhile later I heard Carson crying, but it didn't sound like a hurt cry so I wasn't too worried, about 10 minutes later he started crying again and this time I could tell he was hurt. I walked over to the tramp and Brady was holding him and jumping, every time he landed Carson would cry out in pain. I yelled at Brady to stop jumping at ran over to see what happened. According to Brady the 3 boys were jumping and he had gone inside for a minute to get something, he came back out and Carson was crying. Beckett doesn't have a story that stays the same, so who knows what actually happened. Anyway poor little guy. I called around for advice and then decided to wait a couple of hours to see if he would start using it again, (he wouldn't walk on it.) Around 12 I was feeling around his leg and noticed that it was pretty warm and definitely swollen, so I decided I should take him in. We went to the Urgent Care place here in town, I really like Dr. Leone, and he said, " Yep pretty sure it is broken," and sent us up to hospital to get x-rays. We got in pretty quick actually and they confirmed the break, made an appt. on Monday for a cast and sent us home. No splint, or cast or anything. It was a long day and night. I called the orthopedic clinic where they were going to cast it and told them I thought it needed a splint or something, anyway to make a long story short, they agreed it needed to be casted that day and we went in at 1. Now he has a pretty blue cast that he has drawn all over with sharpie. He has been a trooper, totally not loving no mobility though, and neither am I, but hopefully the 3 weeks will go by fast! Anyway there's our first broken bone story of the family! Awesome! I will get some pictures soon!

Brooklyn or Emree?

Just thought you all might like to see how much Brooklyn and Emree look alike, its kind of scary actually! Especially that Emree wears all the clothes that Brooklyn used to wear, I better make sure I get the right name to the right picture in the scrapbooks...well photo albums anyway. This is Brooklyn when she was 10 months old!
First day of School!

My Pride and Joy!

Next to my kids this is my pride and joy, I love working in the garden! Chas likes it too, he doesn't have to weed! Actually he always takes care of the kids while I spend time there. It's so nice!
Funny Story 1
Well I haveto share this funny story about Brooklyn. There is a little girl in our primary who got her appendix out shortly after she was baptized and showed Brooklyn her scar, so here is Brooklyn's conversation with me the other day.
Brooklyn: "Mom I don't think I want to get baptized."
Me: "Why not?"
Brook: "It's too scary."
And I'm thinking she loves the water, what is the problem?
Me: "Whats scary about it?"
Brook: "I don't want to go to the hospital and be cut open after I am baptized."
I started laughing!!! "You think everyone has to be cut open after they get baptized?"
Brook: yes, Jenny did and she even showed me her scar.
So I had to explain to her that that was not part of getting baptized, it just happened that it was close to the same time with Jenny. I thought it was so hilarious, you never know what your kids are actually thinking!!
What a handsome boy!

Achoo!

Emree right before a sneeze~
