Good day gone bad

Don't you hate when you go out and have a blast, then next thing you know your at the ER... haha well yes that happened Saturday evening. Took the kids swimming and had a blast. As we were leaving the locker room after getting dressed my poor Elijah opened the big steel doors they have there right into his foot. He panicked for a minute and I had no clue what was going on until I looked at his foot that was bleeding all over the place. He didn't cry he just was in shock saying "mom I need to go to the Dr.!" After the first aid crew at the swimming pool cleaned him up a little I looked at it more closely and noticed how deep it was and that he would for sure need stitches.

We headed over to the ER and he was a little trooper the whole time. He never cried and he just kept saying the Dr needs to fix his foot.

                                                         

                                                        Ouch!

 

Waiting for his foot to get numb, watching cartoons.

6 Stitches later! He sat there and watched the Dr put them in. He was so interested in what the Dr was doing. He also doesn't want mom or dad touching his foot he only wants the Dr too. It took some convincing for him to let me change his bandages.

He is all smiles now that his foot is fixed! Stitches have to be in for 10 days. He is bummed out already that he cant play with any water and he has to be really careful and not play hard. Noah is being really great with the whole thing. Once I showed him the stitches he has been very careful around him. He is such a brave strong little man.

Water Day

Good old summer weekend days. :)

 

 

 

Base ball with broom sticks and golf balls

 

Fireworks was a nice way to end the day.

4th of July Weekend 2014

Long busy weekend but really fun. Friday for the 4th me and the kids were in a parade with my mother in law for Sandy city. She does all kinds of promotion marketing and politics. So her project was to help promote the next Sandy Sheriff. She thought it would be fun for me and the kids to ride with her in the parade. They had fun waving at people and Yelling vote for Jake lol.

After we decided to go home and play out side for a while tell fireworks started. I had to occupy them so they wouldnt get tired. So sparklers and poppers were the trick. 

"Isaiah lost his shoe some how during this"

Fireworks were a lot of fun. I didn't get pictures kinda occupied keeping the kids all together but they loved them. 

Saturday We went down to Little Cotten Wood Creek. It was way nice up there and not too hot. There is nothing better then to go up in the canyon I love it. 

They got pretty wet and muddy up there but it was too much fun not to. 

Sunday the first half was way lazy. We all were pretty tired from being out in the sun. Later on we decided to have a water balloon fight in the back yard. That was a success I didnt know if they would actually try and throw them at each other or just the ground. They got me pretty good to. 

Now back to our routine. 

Family Campout

Last week was my extended family big campout trip. Every year since before I was born my moms side of the family would do a week long camp trip. As a kid it was so much fun I looked forward to it every year. Since I have been married and had kids I have only been up once. So I decided to take a day and go. Its one of those things were people would come and go or stay as long as they want. I could only do Saturday and no over nights. So I decided to take little Isaiah with me for a fun one on one trip. The twins will come with me to our yearly yuba trip in a couple weeks. we had a fun day hanging out with family riding horses and riding 4 wheelers. 

                                                             Heading up to Daniels Canyon.

He was so excited about the horses he wanted to hang out around them all day.

My cousin brought up her pony for the kids to ride. 

Lex was sad the twins were not there to play with but she loved giving him a ride around camp.

                                                      Chasing all the dogs around camp.

At the end of the day, He was pretty tried from our trip I stuck him in his pj's and he passed out on the way home.
