Mike & Stacy

Stephen broke his leg :(

Mike, Stephen, and Libby were on the trampoline. Stephen landed wrong and started to cry. Mike brought him in. Our neighbor (EMT and Nurse) checked him out. He didn't have any swelling. He wasn't hysterical. He could move his ankle, bend his knee, and move his toes. We let him rest the night and kept it up. The next day he was still in pain. We took him to the urgent care center. They did an x-ray. Sure enough it was broken. They gave him tylenol with codine and said to wait until Monday and call an orthepedic surgeon. This was Friday evening so nothing was going to be open all weekend. They gave him a temporary cast. Stephen is such a good sport! He hasn't been complaining at all. We obviously have to help him everywhere around the house. He has asked to go play in the sand and be where the other kids are so we cover his temp cast with plastic and let him sit in the sand box. This is Stephen helping me peel veggies.

At the Doctors office. He is so silly (and medicated!)

Here is the break. You can see it about an inch down from the big part of the knee. The crack is horizontal pretty much all the way across the big tibia bone. Poor guy!!

Field Trip - Oil Ranch

The kids had a field trip to an oil ranch. I went with them and we had a blast.

Christsia and Jack on the train

The kids were able to ride horses.

Petting goats.

Carr Farm

We went to our friends' house for Family Home Evening. They have horses, chickens, roosters, and tons of cows. The kids were able to pet and feed the horses. They loved it.

Garden Time!!

We dug up the remains of last years garden and planted a garden for this year. We planted strawberries, tomatoes, cucumbers, squash and potatoes.

Last year the birds at most of our tomatoes so this year Mike built a net cage around the garden with a door. Hope we get some veggies to actually grow. More to come later...

Camping and Caverns!!

We had the best time going camping. I realized that I hadn't gone camping with the family...probably ever becuase I have either been pregnant or had a baby for the last 7 years. So, we all packed up and went. It was so much fun!!!!
