"I want it back on!"

April 19, 2010

After waiting 6 L O N G weeks, the appointment started with great excitement, and anticipation...

Which quickly turned to nerves and anxiety...


And ended in tears! Yes, tears...and not tears of joy, but tears of dread and fear.


You can't tell by the picture, but Chloe was so upset, I had to put the camera away and wipe away some of the biggest alligator tears I've ever seen. She was absolutely certain that her arm was going to fall right off and she demanded her cast be put back on. Once I convinced her that she could not perform in her upcoming dance recital with a cast on, she gradually settled down--taking if off was more traumatic than getting it put on!

I looked out the window and what did I see?

Nope, not popcorn popping on the Apricot tree, but just about as unlikely. I was pulling into my drive way one afternoon, and right across the street from my house where these two cute little MOOSE! I couldn't believe it...I still can't.

D.A.R.E.

It seems like anymore there's a graduation for everything. Lexie's school makes them take drug and alcohol awareness classes (taught by a police officer) where they study the effects of related abuse, and resistance methods. They then have to write an essay and present it to the class at the end of the term stating what they've learned and swearing off any possibility of ever using. She had her D.A.R.E. graduation and to make it special they sang some festive songs and received diplomas.

Doesn't she look so excited...NOT!

Easter 2010

April 2010
Jaden was invited to play in a baseball tournament down in Mesquite, Nevada over Easter break this year so we loaded up the kiddos and headed south...to much warmer weather I might add. Since we were only 3 hours from Travis' parents, we decide that after the games on Saturday we would speed down to Bullhead City so that Travis could go to the Priesthood session on conference with his dad. Although our visit was short, less than 48 hours, we had a great time and the kids loved doing all the fun Easter festivities with "Nana Bear" and "Papa Beav."

Our poor little Maddie licked up some Children's Motrin that had splashed on the floor, and it literally almost killed her. It took a few days for the affects to set in, but when they did, She had no color whatsoever; her gum's, tongue, ears and tummy where completely white. She became very lethargic and the poor thing was totally miserable! The morning I took her to the vet she actually passed out and I thought she was dying! Our vet had to take lots of blood to try and figure out what was going on and Chloe thought that it was so fun that Maddie had a wrapped arm just like she did.
