What a day.....

So the day was going great, the kids were playing very well together which is rare, and then about 2 pm I hear Braidon start crying. Spencer came down saying Braidon hit his head. I waited for Braidon to come to me because the cry was not that bad, so i figured it was just a bump. Then Spencer came running to me saying "it's bleeding" I looked up and he is covered in blood with it just dripping. I ran and took him to the bathroom, and realized it was too deep for a bandaid. So our wonderful neighbor came over and helped me get things cleaned up and ready to head to the ER. After spending almost 2 hours there we finally got out and got home with 4 stitches total. So since I waited for him to come to me we had blood on the stairs and in the hall way. It luckily came out and i don't think i will have to shampoo but i will see in the morning. Braidon is now the child that has been to the ER the most, but it would be nice if he would space them out a little. This is twice in the last month in a half. I sure hope this day ends soon and i can just sit back and relax.
He is doing good, he is running around and playing like nothing happened. The stitches will come out in 5-7 days.

This is us waiting for the numbing medicine to work so they could do the stitches. Here are the pictures of his new look for the next couple of days.

The ointment made it all shinny. As you can see by his smile it isn't phasing him at all. What a trooper.

Update...

We went to the doctor for a check up today, all is going well we are 15 weeks along and everything is looking great. The baby was hiding a little today so it took some time to find the heart beat but we found it and the kids were so interested in it. They have been asking for the last month when they could go with us to hear the heart beat so they were really excited when they heard it. We will go back in 4 weeks and in 5 weeks we will have our ultra sound. I can't wait for the ultra sound it's always so much fun. Now we get to start debating further as to whether we will find out or not. Dusty says no and i say yes maybe no, who knows. If the kids will stop asking when the baby will come out then it will help this pregnancy go a little faster, instead I am having to say 6 months several times a day. It seems like it will never be here. I am feeling better and if i can get rid of the rest of this cold i have i am hoping to feel great.
As for the rest of the family they are doing well and so far staying healthy, knock on wood!!! The kids are growing up to fast and it just doesn't seem possible at all the many things they each can do now and they continue to learn so much. They are truly great kids and i love them so much they teach me so much each and every day. I am so blessed to have such a wonderful family and to be able to add another member to all the craziness but it will be so much fun and so worth it.

Our big 5 year old!!!!

Well it's hard to image that Spencer is 5 today but it is true. He has grown up so much and really loves life. He can be a handful at times (a lot of the time) but i am so grateful for him and the love and joy he shares with us all. He is very excited to turn 5 so hopefully it won't be a disappointment. Hopefully later today or with in the next few days i can post a picture of our birthday boy.
Happy Birthday Spencer hope your day is wonderful and as much fun as it can be. We love you and are so glad you are a part of our family!!!!

Big announcement...............

Well we heard the heart beat today!!! It was just as exciting as the first time we heard Brysans. That is right we are expecting #5 in April. Our due date is April 11th and we are very excited. It came as a little bit of a shock but we are still very excited. We have known for about 6 weeks now but we decided to wait for a little while to tell everyone. I am 11 weeks along, we had our first doctors appointment today and we were able to hear the heart beat which is what i look forward to the most during pregnancy. I am hoping that things will continue to get better from this point on, I have been pretty nauseated for the last several weeks but this week has been good so far so i am hoping i am past all of that morning sickness stuff. We are very excited for the opportunity we have to be able to bring another child into this world and that Heavenly Father has entrusted us to be able to do so. It is a great blessing to have children and to learn from them as they learn from us.

It was a great summer we had a lot of fun and made some great memories!!! We can't wait until next summer to see what fun adventures we will have. We are very grateful to be able to live close enough to family to be able to do many of the things we did and to have that time to make those memories. Life is GREAT!!!!

Last of our Summer

Well our summer has come to an end with Brysan starting school back on the 31st of Aug. It was a great day. She was very excited to be going to the 2nd grade and so far she is loving it. The 31st happens to be our anniversary as well so Dusty took the day off and we went golfing. The first time i ever went golfing was on our honeymoon so we like to try to work in a golf game around our anniversary. I really enjoyed having him home for the day and the time we were able to spend with each other. It has been 8 fabulous years and we have created many memories and i am looking forward to the next years and eternity to come.
I have been trying to post pictures of our summer activities but for some reason it's not working so when i figure out whats going on with it i will post lots of pictures of all of our outings this summer.
