Our Poor Girl! (I know..longest post EVER)

Paige had an accident on Sunday and had us all scrambling! We were going into the house after getting home from church and she decided to bolt. Adam grabbed her and tried to pick her up by her jacket. Well, she fell out of her jacket and hit face first on our concrete planter. My stomach sank when I heard the sound her cute little face made when she hit the planter. Adam grabbed her and there was blood everywhere! Adam sat there for a minute holding her while they both cried, he felt so bad!

We got Paige inside and tried to assess the damage but she was pretty worked up. We stripped out of our bloodied clothes and tried to calm her down. Blood was pouring out of her mouth and I couldn't get it to stop.
Just when things couldn't feel any crazier there was a knock at the door. I immediately thought, "great, what now, this is a really bad time!". I opened the door and it was our home teachers. I was explaining it was a bad time, and then they asked if they could do anything to help. "A Blessing", I said, "would be great". Well, we needed another Priesthood holder to help with the blessing and didn't know what to do...and wouldn't you know it.....another knock on the door!
This time it was our YW president coming to drop something off. I don't think I heard a word she said and then I saw her wonderful husband sitting in the car! I quickly explained that we needed him to help with the blessing and he graciously did. Paige had been screaming and crying throughout us trying to figure everything out. The amazing thing was that as soon as the blessing started she calmed down and fell asleep in Adam's arms. I am so grateful that we were being watch out for, and that we have wonderful people around us that are always willing to help!

You are probably thinking, "well that happened to Paige, is she alright?". Yes she is. The right side of her face was badly swollen, and she had a huge fat lip. We were worried about damage to her facial bones or a concussion but she's doing well, and all of her teeth are intact! What a blessing!

This is the day after, most of all the swelling had gone down. Don't ya just love the crusty, we get them all the time??!!!

A Tribute

Some friends of ours, Tamara and James, bailed us out and watched our rug rats while we went to the Jazz game Saturday night. They were nice enough to say our kids were great (j/k). She posted some pics on her blog (you can check out under my list of friends blogs) of all of the kids together,which I thought was sweet of her. Thanks guys you're awesome!


We had a really got time at the game. It happened to be the night they made a tribute to Larry H. Miller since he passed away. We sat somewhat close to the family, and I couldn't help but peak at them and see how they were doing. I can't imagine how hard it had to have been to be there and to keep it together, but they did an amazing job. You could see how grateful his wife was to everyone there and the tribute they payed her husband. I'm glad we got to see it, I didn't really realize the impact he has had on Utah and how much he has added to our community. He was a very good man!
A big thanks Mom and Dad J for the date night!

Goodbye Basketball....Hello Saturday....

B had his last game on Saturday (now I feel like we have some of our Saturdays back). He did so good this year. He missed the week before because of his tonsils so he was really ready to go on Saturday. I had to ask the coach to give him a break because he was playing so hard. He didn't want to rest and wasn't very happy with me. I am so proud of him for being such a generous player and working so hard to do his best! Way to go B!!! I hope the boys continue to have a passion for basketball because I love watching them play.

Grandpa and Grandma: You can see that he's dragging and not quite himself but he was happy to play. He looks like such a shrimp next to the other kids but it's because they are a couple of years older (not that he's still not going to be a shorty like me). Watch the spot where he gets after his teammate...so bossy! My camera died so I didn't get any footage of him making a shot. Hope you enjoy. Oh and I posted a video to Paige's blog too.

It's fun, try it!!!

Hope you all have a wonderful Valentines Weekend! We have had fun taking around treats and valentines. Thanks for the cute v-day stuff, you always do too much....(you know who you are).I was able to go to the boys' school parties, I had fun but it was valentine madness!
Also, we would like to wish Uncle Sean a BIG Happy Birthday !
And I have your card sitting right here in front of me...typical...I know!

Way To Go Team!

Jake had his last b-ball game, and I finally remembered to take the camera! I know, bad mom! The funny thing is there were 5 other parents clicking away too, so I didn't feel like such a slacker. It was fun watching you play bud, you did great this year!

I had a good chuckle at this one!


He's all sweaty here, but still a cutie!

B-R-Y-S-E-N M-O-U-S-EEEE !!!

We were told there might be a change in Brysen's voice for a little while. I hadn't noticed it too much until Adam pointed it out. But....Brysen sounds like Mickey Mouse! It's funny to hear him talk, depending on the time of day it's can get pretty squeakyor high pitched. We don't point it out because I know he would be crushed, but it's pretty cute with a dash of funny.

Taaadaaa!

Now You See 'em.....

Now You Don't!!!











Brysen went in Monday to have his tonsils out. You can see they were huge! We bought him this stuffed animal and told him he was going to be as brave and tough as a lion!

I have to admit I was worried, he's not our toughest child, but he did awesome. The staff at the hospital kept telling him how impressed they were with his attitude and how good he was.
Everything went well and he has just been recouping at home.
He doesn't want to talk, so it's been pretty quiet around here compared to normal. Thanks to everyone for the help and the inquiries about how's he's doing!
