ER and Stitches

We had a not so fun night last night, as you can see from the pictures. I was getting Zaden in his pj's and he started jumping around on his bed trying to play. The next thing we know he fell straight in his bed post. I immediatly grabbed him because I heard a crack. My first though was oh no he just lost some teeth. When I picked him up blood was just gushing everywhere. It took me all of 2 seconds to see that it was big and very deep. I yelled to Aaron and told him we had to go to the ER. Let me tell you that was the fastest drive to the emergency room. When we got there we got in and I was covered in blood. (Sorry if this is too much). I had blood from my elbows to my fingers on both arms. All over my shirt and my neck. And Zaden had a ton on his bare chest.
He only cried for a few mintues at home. But when the nurse checked his vitals he flipped out. He was screaming and there was nothing anyone could say or do to calm him down. Finally, when we got into the room he calmed down and watched the disney movie they had on.
He is such a tough little guy. the doctor's were so impressed. He screamed when they numbed his face. But the whole time while he got stitched up he just laid there calmly and let the doctor get it done, which was good because they were going to restrain him but the doctor gave him a chance. We were so proud of him for being a toughy!!! The grand Total was 10 stitches!!!

So we made it through our first ER visit for one of the boys. And I will tell you I hope we never have to again because it scared me to death!!!! Honestly Aaron and I both agreed that with how much of a monkey Zaden is we are suprised he made it to 3 without already being there. The bad part is Braddock is just as much of a monkey, so heaven knows what the future will bring.

Zaden is doing much better today, for the most part it is like nothing happened to him. Which for a mom is kinda scary because I am trying to get him to take it kinda easy. The doctor was also worried about a head injury because of it, but like I said he is a big toughy, and apparently he is a lot tougher than I thought!!!!!


Fun at the Fair

We had a really fun day at the fair this weekend. The boys got to help out with farming. and make sock puppets. And one of their favorite parts was getting a balloon. There are not very many pictures of braddock because he was just hanging out in his car seat. He is teething and was more interesting in watching than doing. We all had a lot of fun. And Zaden and Braddock loved getting lots of candy.

Cookin' Fun











Zaden and I had some fun making peanut butter bars. He had a lot of fun helping out, with putting most of the ingredients in by himself.

Proud of our Daddy!!


We are so proud of our daddy/hubby. He started going back to school this summer and he did so good. We just got his final grades back and he got an A and 2 b+, how awesome is he!!! Fall semester left and he is done with snow college and moves onto Utah State. I am so proud of him, he had such a hefty load this summer with school and jobs and everything else and still managed to do the best he could. Me and the boys just wanted to take a moment and give him some praise for all his hard work.
