Alyssa Got Claim to the First Broken Bone in the Family!

2013-03-28 17.23.40

Alyssa has had quite the eventful couple of days last week! She went to the Urgent Care Thursday night for a piece of wood that got stuck in her bum after climbing on the monkey bars in our backyard.  She came inside and said “Mom, I think I have something in my bum.”  I took a peek and WOW!  It was more than just a sliver!  I tried to get it out with tweezers and I couldn’t.  I could feel the end of it a ways up in her skin so I decided the best thing would be to go get it out at the dr. in case of infection.  She walked out happy with a coloring book, crayons, sucker and a token for a toy which she chose a starfish.

The next day Alyssa went with a couple of friends to the park with one of the moms.  They weren’t gone long when they came home.  Alyssa was hanging from the monkey bars and fell off onto her arm.  She was in a lot of pain and within 45 mins it had really swollen and gotten hard.  I took her into the dr. this time for an x-ray.  She has a hairline fracture in the bone above the elbow.  So they put a soft cast on it and in a cute Charlie Brown sling.  We will go back in a week for a hard cast she will have on for 6 weeks!  She was still in a lot of pain.  David took Melanie and Cameron to Walmart to pick up M&M’s, the movie HOP and a bouquet of beautiful, bright flowers.  She felt special!  Getting hurt comes with it’s perks I guess!

How close have you been to a Prophet?

David, and two other guys he works with, were invited to the Jazz game last Friday night. I have come to find out as a construction wife, to get business, you gotta play A LOT ! Here is a short list, not limited to, of what I mean by "play": Golfing (about 3 times a week-depending on the week and in warm weather of course) Snow skiing (about 2 times a week, again this depends on the week and when there's snow) Fancy dinners (this can also be counted as lunch, which happens more than I know I'm sure!) Executive Retreats (this will be happening in February for about 5 days in AZ, which will have all 5 days full of golfing, guaranteed!!) Jazz games (again, when in season) I don't know about you, but I think I'm in the wrong career!! This house wife things just does not include ANY of those benefits!! Anyway, on with the story at the Jazz game... These weren't just ordinary tickets. Where do executives and people in high places sit? Oh yeah, ...

Our New Family Pictures

I have been on the hunt for a really good photographer for a long time here and there.  And I think I found one that did everything I wanted.  First, she comes and looks at the feel of your home.  For us I just sent pictures of our living room where I wanted the pictures placed.  Then she suggests colors to wear and sent pictures back with our room and picture placements she puts on the walls.  And with 5 kids, especially Jenna, you really have to photo shop A LOT!!  Almost every photo with Jenna she had to photo shop.  She did amazing!!  I was so nervous when we went over and viewed our pictures at her house.  As David put it after our photo shoot “She has to be a magician to get anything good out of that!  That was a disaster!”  After looking at our proofs I said, “well, you are a magician!”  And David said after leaving and climbing in our car to go home “That was worth every penny.”  Success! I do have a few faces to...

Melanie’s Calling in Life

Image
Two Days ago Melanie was getting ready to go out the door.  She had her coat and was looking for her other jacket.  I asked her why she needed it when she already had her coat on.  She said she was going to take it to her friend at school, Humana, because she wears 3 jackets and doesn’t have a coat.  5 minutes later Melanie asked me “Mom, can we buy Humana a coat?”  I had already been thinking about that but told Melanie I would look while I was out to see if I could find one.  I went to 3 different stores to look!  Winter coats in that size are hard to find these days!  But I finally found something at Walmart and got gloves and a hat.  My friend, Angela, who drove carpool that morning called me while I was out looking.  She called worried because Melanie had said on the way to school that her friend didn’t have a coat and was sleeping on the floor.  I told her I knew about the coat and was getting one but Melanie hadn’t mentioned ...
