We're off for surgery!

Makynlee had a doctors appointment on Tuesday with Scott Justesen in Price. By the way, he is an excellent doctor. We had to go get more x-rays at the hospital. We were a little shocked when he said that she would need surgery and have a couple pins put in her elbow. We were told when it happened that there was a slim chance she would need surgery, that it was just an automatic referral to an orthopedic surgeon because of the kind of break it was. So we were just expecting to have a cast put on yesterday. Anyways, she has surgery scheduled for Thursday at Primary Children's Hospital in Salt Lake. Makynlee is pretty upset about it. She just keeps saying "No more doctors, please mom." It's so sad!! Thanks everyone for your concerns and I let ya know how it goes.

Makynlee's 6th Birthday

Makynlee wanted to have her birthday party at the new swimming pool, go figure that she would break her arm a couple of days before. We rented the party room there and did presents and cake and ice cream. Then they were able to go swimming.


She got lots of cute clothes and toys.

We had a Hannah Montana party for her. She absolutely loves Hannah Montana.


Makynlee had a lot a fun even though she could only stay by the stairs. She had some really good friends that stayed by her and played. Thanks Diana and Madi!!

I can't believe she's six. Time flies. Thanks everyone for coming and making it special for her. She's already planning her next birthday party at the pool and I promised her that as soon as she gets her cast off I'll take her to the pool and invite everyone again.

My poor little girl!

We had a little bit of a late morning yesterday. I had just laid Asia down for a nap at 10:30 and decided I better hurry and get in the shower. After I told Makynlee to get dressed that her clothes were on the edge of my bed and started to brush my teeth. Thats when I heard a big thud and Makynlee screaming bloody murder. I went to her and she started yelling "I broke my arm, I broke my arm." It looked fine to me so I told her that she was fine and to be brave. I soon realized that there has something wrong. Every time she moved she started screaming in pain. So I called the clinic to see if they could get us in. She said we had to hurry and just come in. Which none of us were ready. We looked great rushing into the clinic, let me tell ya.

I felt so bad for her. It was really painful for her to get the x-ray's. I had to hold her arm and hand down so she wouldn't move while they took them since her arm was shaking from the pain. After about the fourth x-ray she told me, "mom I thinks it's better can we please just go home, I'm sure it will fine when we get home. Please no more." It was so sad. She ended up getting six x-rays that determined that she had a fracture across her whole bone right above her elbow on the back of her growth plate. So they put on a splint and sling and we have to see an orthopedic surgeon on Monday.

She's so emotional about it. It's hard. She just keeps thinking about all the things she can't do now. This morning she said, "Mom if I pray and tell Jesus that I wish it was just a dream, will it come true." The really sad part is that her Birthday is on Saturday at the new Castle Dale swimming pool. She can't even go swimming at her own party.

Maybe next time she'll listen when her mom's told her a million times to stop playing on her bed or she's going to fall and break her head.

I'll keep ya posted and let ya know what the surgeon says.

Asia giving Makynlee loves. She's always so concerned when her sister cries. She been hugging and kissing her non stop since it happened.

Valentine's Day in Mesquite

We decided to go to Mesquite for Valentine's Day this year. We had a lot of fun and I wish I could say we won some money or at least came home even. But with us that never happens. It was nice to get away though and spend sometime with my hubby without Asia attached to my hip. Thanks Mom and Dad for watching our kids all weekend so we could go!!


We did Valentine's with our kids the night before we left. The girls both got little tents and a movie. Asia of course got a little puppy and the 101 Dalmation movie. She's so in love with puppies. Here's Makynlee posing in her Hannah Montana tent.

Me and Cole in our Hotel room.

We were able to go down with Cole's mom, LaNora and sister and brother-in-law, Brandy and Briton. Cole's grandparents go down to Beaver Dam during the winter months. It's about 10 minutes outside of Mesquite. So they were able to come and hang out with us. It was nice to see them since we only get to see them a few times while their in Ferron. We played Bingo, went bowling and went out to dinner.

My B-day

My birthday was on Monday so my family had a nice birthday dinner for me on Sunday. Cole took me to dinner and a movie on Monday. We watched Taken it was really good. It was nice to have a break from all the mom and wife stuff.

And O Yeah I got a new Cricut Expression machine that I've been dying for since they first came out. The girls got me a MP3 player. I'm so excited for my new toys!!

Super Bowl

We spent Super Bowl at Dale and McCall's house. It was really fun. Oh and Cole won a hundred bucks from his work Super Bowl board. So that was cool.

Here's Makynlee posting for a picture.
