bloody toe and pulled tooth

There are about three posts here. Sorry I am playing catch up. As you read on you will understand why...


My sweet baby J has had quite the day today... I was in the kitchen cooking the kids lunch. I was washing my hands and noticed the boys up on a chair trying to see if it was ready. I told them to get down and quit climbing on stuff. Baby was in the process of climbing up and fell and they came down. He was biting one of their shirts to help him climb up and when they came down he must of lost balance and started falling, the shirt pulling on his poor little new baby tooth. It was still there, but barely. I couldn't get a pic. of it before, he was too upset. the tooth used to be lined up quite nicely with the other three but the fall had pulled it out about a quarter inch in front of the others and it was really loose. So, into the dentist we go. they had to pull it and he won't have a tooth there until his permanent grows back in...in 7-8 years!!! :-( Sob, Sob, Sob. I feel awful and wish it never had happened. I guess i at least saved him from falling and cracking his head open on the tile. I just love it when kids learn how to climb! ;-/


and here is the lovely toe. I know, i've been slacking on the polish, but what can i say?!?! The second pic is the improvement. I was cleaning out the garage, trying to be productive and use the garage for what it is made for...you know...a car!!! I was putting something away in b's gun safe and noticed all of his guns barrels were on the ground. Me, not realizing the strength that the barrels have, thought it would be a good idea to take them all out and flip them the other way, with the butt of the gun on the ground instead. I was worried about the barrels getting dented or something. B just laughed when i told him this. He was just dying. Anyway, so as i was flipping one around, the end of his case was NOT zipped up and kerplop...the butt of the gun landed right on my toe. I was dancing around like you can't believe, trying to avoid saying a few choice words that little ears might hear. My kids just looked at me like i was a looney. Then i showed them my toe. Then they felt bad for me. Anyway, i thought it was broken. We were supposed to have gone camping for like 4 days, but since this happened we just went to the cabin instead...it's a little more cushy. It still ended up being fun. by the fourth day i could drive a four wheeler with the foot gear and everything. It is still tender, but i did go running on it today and it feels good. Just hurts if i try to bend it or anything.
anyway, our fun adventures have hopefully come to an end. We celebrate c's bday tomorrow and it should be fun. We will post about that later.

mother's day


this is C's precious smile that he gives me when i need a cheer up, he can't smile with his eyes open, it is so funny but yet so cute...so, him.


Mother's day was kind of a flop this year. But that's okay, i know my family loves me and i know B tried, but it seems everything was against us this entire weekend! B cut the biscuits to say, We love mom with an exclamation point at the end. It was funny. I thought he had done tulips or something, didn't realize it actually said anything til he pointed it out.
me and my boys on mother's day. Sweet J is way in the back sleeping on the lovesack. I never did get one of all of us together so this will have to do.


Title of Liberty







For F.H.E. one night we talked about captain moroni and the title of liberty. for our activity i decided to have the kids make their own title of liberty, putting things on there that would help us be a happy family and happier individuals. It was actually a lot funner then we had expected so i am glad we did it.
