Happy Birthday Carson!

Its a little late, but Carson turned 11 last Wednesday. We had a busy day that day so we each had a piece of pie from Burger King that night by candlelight.

On Saturday we had a little party. Carson wanted a cake that looked like Mars. Carson has great aspirations of going there some day.

Hot Pink!


At first she wanted orange for her cast because Halloween is coming up. Then she wanted brown because she wanted to be a gingerbread cookie for Halloween. Then she decided on yellow but they had no yellow. So, she went with her favorite color pink.

She'll have the cast on for 4 weeks so she won't even make it to Halloween. We'll go back and have more x-rays taken then have the cast taken off. I am just glad to have it in a cast. Now, I get to worry if all her shirts will fit over her cast.

The doctor she went to is a specialist and we have never seen him before. After he was done he said that he offers to prayer with his patients if we didn't mind and I of course said yes. It was a simple and honest prayer. Very refreshing.

Our first break!

Ginger is the first to break a bone in our family. Tuesdays are our busy days running Carson and Callie to choir then later on to piano with George. Ginger had a friend's birthday party at a park as well yesterday. I came to pick her up at the end and was sitting in the car talking to David watching Ginger swing with a friend. I look over just in time to see her fall from the swing. She could tell she was falling so she tried to hang on with her right hand and then falling to put all her weight on her left. I quickly got off the phone and ran to her. I could tell it was swelling right away. Kerry, the birthday girl's mother, got some ice for her. For the next hour Ginger cried and kept that ice straight on it. David was heading into town so I waited for him and also for the urgent care to open after 5pm. David took Ginger while I took the other kids home after piano.

She broke her ulna a little below the elbow. She is going to get a cast on Monday and will stay in a brace and sling till then.

Mr. MBA

David finally graduated from the University of Phoenix with his MBA. We drove to Sacramento, CA on Saturday to see him walk. The kids kept asking David if he was nervous, he said he was nervous for me having to sit with five children for over two hours. We did just fine though. I was more nervous about meeting up with him again at the end of it. One hard part was the kids seeing all the people with concession stand goodies. People looked like they were going to the movies.

We had pretty good seats. There was an empty seat on either side of our group of six seats. Right before it started two ladies asked if the seat on the end was taken and I said no then I realized I could move down and give them one more seat. So I got up to move to the end so none of the kids had to sit next to the two gentlemen on that end. When I got up George followed and some how those two ladies multiplied to three. I turned around and said no I just gave you two seats. They looked at me with blank expressions. "What?!" I said no and the lady behind me was trying to help me. They responded. "What?!" I gave up and grabbed Lucy to put her on my lap. Just what those ladies wanted I'm sure. We were fine. Lucy ended up falling asleep on my lap a little later. Carson is the one that didn't like it. He had to sit next to one of them. He kept glaring at me and whining.

Throughout the program the kids had played with my phone that then died. I was really worried then how I would meet up with David. I carried Lucy and Ginger held onto my shirt. The others followed really well. We just headed for the car. David wasn't to far behind but it seemed to take some of the excitement away from meeting right after. I was probably tired by that point.





This past May it was 7 years since David graduated from Weber State in Ogden, UT. At that time we had Carson(3), Callie(2), and George was just 5 months old. Time goes by so fast.


The camera lens must have had a fingerprint on it or something. The pictures turned out a little cloudy.
