First and ONLY "Break" of the Summer

I am so far behind on postings! So this luckily I can say was our ONLY broken bone of the summer...thank goodness! And poor Abby..this is her second broken arm. We think that she fractured her arm at her kindergarten graduation party at Classic Fun on the bounce houses....let me say that I LOVE Classic, and we went back the day she got her cast off, before her appt for playgroup. Anyhoo...Abby compained of her arm hurting, and being the BIGGEST contender for mother of the year told her to shrug it off, and go play. Well, she did...for the next 5 yes 5 days! I need to also say that she was USING her arm. The only time she complained was if I was to guide her gently to her room or something like that. :)

On Monday night, I came home from running errands, and Aaron said I think we may have a problem...Karson and Abby were wrestling...swelling...you get the picture. So I took her to an IHC facility, that turned us away because it was too close to closing NICE right a six year old..I won't go into my distain for IHC now, maybe later. I took her home wondering what to do, and she started to say that her arm felt better, and that she was fine. She was using it and had full range of motion. I was so tired and confused, but decided to take her to WeeCare anyway. As we are checking in at the dest for a "broken arm" here is my angel leaning with her elbows on the counter, and her wrists under her chin...on her "broken arm" I was about ready to cry...but I was there, and the girl said that the Dr. wouldn't x-ray if he didn't think it was necessary.

The Dr. gave a thorough exam of her arm, and said I think were alright, then had her twist...that's when she felt "uncomfortable". Yadda yadda yadda x-ray...broken arm. They wrapped her arm in the standard hard splint, and I was on pins and needles until she was able to get a hard cast. You see, the girl doesn't sit still for a second. I came home one night to her riding her fourwheeler with the splint on. YIKES!! Thank you for bearing with me during my lengthy story. This is basically my journal, and I don't want to leave out any detail.

Abby got a beautiful purple cast, we went to Michaels and got some glitter spray paint to make it sparkle. Well that cast lasted for a week before she broke the cast...literally. In the kindergarten post you will see some beautiful HOT PINK wrap that they had to use to reenforce this cast. My little Tom Boy...the great thing was, was that it didn't slow her down a bit. Love my girl!

Dancey Dance Time

You see, here at our house Yo Gabba Gabba is "Top Dog", "The Cat's Meow", the "Bees knees" if you will. Luke lives for it. One day Karson and Garrett decided to get in on the act. Jack Black was on this episode doing the "Disco Roll" dancey dance.

Up...down...up...down...up down....roll forward...now back. you get the picture. How do I know this you ask? I am in yo gabba gabba world all day every day.



Love my boys!!

Boy Scout Jamborall

Karson's pack went to the Boy Scout Jamborall this year, and I went as a volunteer making it known VERY loudly that I was only going to help, and that not in anyway did I want to be put in a scouting position...just not for me. All in all we had a really fun day.

I was really proud of my boy! He made it all the way to the top of the rock wall and rang the buzzer.

They had alot of fun activities for the boys.


A few of the boys let loose for a little square dancing. I think the band was relieved that someone was actually listening.

Kindergarten Field Trip

I was so excited to go on Abby's Kindergarten field trip to the Eccles Dinosaur Park. This is her class, they are such a fun group of kids.

This is the group of girls that another mom, and I were in charge of. They were adorable, and loved learning about, and exploring the park.

We hooked up for a little bit with our pals Brittani & McKade. They were in a different class, but it was fun to see them for a second, and after this fun filled day, Brittani and I went for a HUGE greasy cheeseburgers, and fries to detox. It was great.

I had a great time with my girl

At this point, I probably might have left them in a cage for a few. :)

We also ran into Ally at the end during play time. It's always a laught when these two get together.

Thanks princess for letting me share this time with you.

Rays Baseball

Karson played "REAL" baseball this year. Meaning that the boys actually pitched. I was surprised that he wanted to play, because he hadn't played since t-ball. But he did well at tryouts and was drafted in the first round to the Rays. The Rays were the HAPPIEST team in baseball, but had a not very winning season. The coach was a great guy who taught them a true love for the game. They cheered eachother on, and played so positively together. I only took the camera to the first game, but the boys did get alot better through out the season...the very LONG season. It about doubled in length due to rainouts. It seemed to only rain on the days the boys had a game. During the last game (2nd round of the playoffs) we sat through a down poor. But big Daddy, and I toughed it out in the rain cuz if our trembling 46 lb. boy can shiver out in short stop position, who are we to run and hide? :) Great memories!!

Spring Soccer

I am so behind on this silly blog, I am just getting farther behind so get ready for a million posts. Both Karson & Abby wanted to play soccer this year. But only Karson really played. Abby just showed up for the games for the treats. :) I think that I managed to capture a couple pics of her actually playing. Well not actually playing, but standing with her cute purple shorts, and pink socks. :)





The kids had fun, and really thats all that counts. Karson quite likes the sport, and had a fantastic coach this year.

Hey Soul Sister...

Just wanted to share a little part of a typical day in our house...I love my life!
