I sure love this boy!

Mason I love you, even when you throw all my laundry on the floor, even when you scream in the car, even when we have to let you run up and down the isles at church so you wont scream, even when you yank the TV cord out of the wall, even though you are our last kid and we now have to baby proof the house, even though you don't say mama. I am still in mad crazy love with you!

My poor baby girl!

So my kids have off 3weeks from school. We have been doing a lot of cleaning up, projects, etc. So I thought it would be fun for us to have a break and go swimming. I called one of our friends to see if they wanted to come and they did so we were set. Well usually I swim with the kids but since we were going when Mason eats I needed to stay out and feed him. So while I was feeding him I heard Karlee SCREAMING! I ran to the water and asked what happened. It was hard to understand her but I finally figured out that another kid had stopped at the end of the slide and her head hit the back of his head when she came down. It was a total accident.

Her Eye was the size of a golf ball. The lifeguard gave her an ice pack and said that we needed to take her in to the Dr. He said she might have a head concussion. I was shaking so bad. Her eye looked terrible and I didn't know what to do. I got the other 2 kids out and starting drying them and getting there clothes on. Luckily my friend offered to take Rodney and Emily so I could hurry and take her in.

Everyone at the Dr. office was asking what happened to her. They did an eye check on her and looked her over and said she had minor head trauma. That we needed to watch and make sure she didn't get confused or that she didn't puke. If after 24hrs she didn't that she would be OK. If not we needed to bring her back in. My AMAZING visiting teacher that I haven't even met yet brought us dinner. It was so yummy and I was so grateful I didn't have to worry about making anything so I could focus on Karlee.

***She was going to get new head shots but I guess that will have to wait. :)

Day 2 :(

Karlee gets braces

 

Well as you can see Karlee got braces when Rodney really needed them :) Today she got on her braces. She did really good and it went really fast. She has 2 teeth that are not coming in so they will help to make room for them and then when she is 12/13 she will need them again, just she wont have to wear them as long as other kids do.

Merry Christmas 2011

The kids got to open one present on Christmas Eve and the girls and the boys had matching P.J's I love matching Jammie's they make me so happy!

I love my kids they are so cute!

My girls and there hello kitty Jammie's

Mason didn't want to hold still but the boys had matching batman Jammie's.

This was the first Christmas that we had at our house by ourselves. It was fun to watch the kids run and rip open there stockings. We had my dads famous Christmas bread and hot chocolate. Then we went to church and came home and opened presents. Later we went up to Logan and celebrated with Grandma and Papa Broschinsky. It was a wonderful Christmas. The next day all the kids were barfing and had the runs so it was a pretty exhausting break but I was so glad that we weren't sick on Christmas!
