SUMMER SWIMMING

Last year we spent a lot of time in the pool. This summer the weather hasn't been to warm and then when it did heat up I had girls camp, so this was our first outing to the pool. I am now hoping to be there a few times a week!!!

Yes, Paislee is swimming with her cast. It is amazing what modern technology has done for broken bones!!!

TOY STORY 3

Today I took the kids to see TOY STORY 3. I am leaving for girls camp tomorrow and wanted to take them before I left. It was so dang cute. It kept both of the kids attention through out the whole movie. When we got in the car Rylan let me know that we needed to head straight home. I didn't think much of it until I heard him upstairs. This is what I found:

I guess the movie really inspired him!!!

PAISLEE OH PAISLEE

Last Wednesday night Jordan was playing with the kids on the trampoline, like he does most evening, when Paislee landed wrong and started to scream. I was standing right there and as I watched her fall I truly thought she hurt her neck. She immediately grabbed her leg and was screaming. Me, not getting the mother of the year award yet again, gave her some Ibuprofen and put her to bed. The next morning when she woke up she was still in a lot of pain so we headed to Quick Care. Three hours later, it ended up being broken. She has a clean break right under her knee. Quick care put a hard splint on and set up an appointment to see an Ortho doctor on Monday. She was pretty excited because she wanted a pink cast. Luckily there was an option to pay a little bit extra and get a water proof cast. Therefore she does have to wear a cast for the next 4 weeks, but we can still go swimming!!!

I'm sorry that I have been so far behind in blogging but.... I would like to say that we are all doing fine with the cast and life has gone back to normal, but that would be a lie. She is constantly wanting something and screaming as load as she can to let you now you are not coming fast enough. She has become even more bossy if that is even possible. If she is not yelling at someone she is asleep, which is not a good thing because she then does not sleep at night. Not to mention I swear she has to go to the bathroom every 15 minutes. Today she has learned that scooting on her but is a good thing, so I am hoping she will be a happier person soon. The doctor wants her walking on it as soon as she will, so I made her walk to the bathroom once today. That was quite a traumatic experience for her, but she made it! I love her dearly, but am so grateful that tonight is dinner out with the girls!!!

SCRIPTURE READING DOGS

Sunday when we left for dinner at my mom's our coffee table looked like this:

And when we returned home it looked like this:

Jordan and I looked around the house to make sure we hadn't had an uninvited visitor while we were gone. Sure enough we decided our dogs wanted to read the Scriptures!

MEMORIAL DAY FUN

This year we decided to stay home for Memorial Day. We had a great relaxing weekend and ended it by swimming over at my Aunt Peggy's.

My dad thought he was so funny sitting on the side of the pool shooting everyone with the water gun! Until he got pushed in!!!
