Disney on Ice

Bryan and I took the kids along with Jeffrey and his kids to Disney on Ice. It was so cute. The show featured all of the Disney love stories. A couple of weeks before the show I took Maddie (and Jeff's wallet) to The Disney Store and we picked out a princess dress and accessories. We had THE MOST fun! She picked Rapunzel along with the crown and the shoes. It's a good thing we've got Maddie because I'm pretty sure Camry wasn't going to sport a princess dress to the show....

Dr. Seuss' Birthday

I have the greatest job! I love working at my kids school and seeing them throughout their day. I'm always the first one to try to talk the office staff into dressing up and being silly for special holidays! For Dr. Seuss' birthday celebration we had a ton of fun coming up with some fun costumes!

Ice Fishing

We have the best neighbors! The Evans' took Easton ice fishing. Even though we sunscreened him like crazy he still got burned from the glare off of the snow!

They caught tons or fish and had a great time!!

I Am Determined

to catch my blog up. Ideas on how to do that are welcomed. I am not sure whether to go back to JULY and start where I left off or....post everything in one gigantic post. Oh I am SO overwhelmed...but determined at the same time. Posts soon to follow.

Healing the Wounded

Bryan has had knee issues for a long time from his years of church basketball. Right before Christmas he was playing basketball again and really injured it badly. He limped around until the first of the year when we decided it just wasn't going to get better on it's own this time. He went in for an MRI and found out he had a ton of scar tissue, a torn meniscus, and torn ACL. Surgery was scheduled. He went in on a Thursday and I took 2 days off to take care of him. We were prepared for a long recovery....but because Bryan is Superman himself he was up and trying to walk on it in about 4 days! His first post op appointment the Doctor was amazed at his recovery and only warned him not to overdo it and re injure it.

The knee

We were given this awesome contraption. It's an ice machine. It pumps ice cold water to this wrap around his knee. It was so cool...way better than a bag of frozen peas!!

My favorite patient

THEN....

On Friday Jace was playing TOUCH football with the neighbor boy and was TACKLED. He complained all day until I finally decided to leave my other patient alone for a bit and take him to the ER.

Verdict:

broken collar bone

Touch guy number 2

It Helps

It helps to live in below freezing degree weather when your refrigerator breaks. Where's the milk? Oh..it's outside.
