Caitlyn's last dance show of the year!

We are very proud of Caitlyn she has improved some much this year! Good job my sweetie!

Lydia's 3rd Birthday!

We celebrated Lydie's birthday a little early this year on the Sunday before. We celebrated at my mom's this year because my basement is in shambles because of the office being out of commission! She wanted a lady bug cake It turned out so cute! She had so much fun and was so excited!

Kiss them good bye!

I finally made it! I am walking again! I never in my life have been more grateful for anything! I am now to the stage where I am just in a boot for 6 more weeks. I hate this thing though it is hot and sweaty yuck! but it is so much better then hobbling around on crutches so I can't complain too much because I now can pick up and walk around with my baby!


The next step is orthotics then in about 4 weeks after I get those I have to go back in surgery and get the screw taken out. At least this is almost over! I just can't wait to get completely back to normal again!

Oh the basement!

I was cleaning the office I just happened to glance behind it to find a whole bunch of mold!! Needless to say we had to rip apart the whole office! It had gotten into the carpet and desk. Which we now have to replace. So nathan and my dad started to pull the sheet rock off. It turned out to be a leak in the foundation. which ran by the window so we also have to pull that out and replace all the framing of the wall and all around the window. What a mess it is still a work in progress!

2 weeks down!

So It has been 2 weeks and things are going okay. I get my stitches out on friday! I'm so excited just to soak in a bath, not being able to wash my foot two weeks I hate! I'm just trying to take everything one day at a time. After talking to the doctor last week reality set in! I have to be off it completely for 6 weeks then I can slowly start putting more and more weight on it. This is going to be the longest two months of my life for me and my mom! I going to have these crutches for a while. It is so hard not to be able to pick up my baby and carry her. I just have to keep telling myself one day at a time, one day at a time this will get easier!

If you got to do something do it right!

On Saturday I was chasing down the stairs with Caitlyn. I got to what I thought was the bottom stair and started walking normally. It turned out I wasn't at the bottom yet I had one more stair to go! I landed on my toes and bent them back and felt 2 pops! I yelled up to Nathan I need you I think I just broke my foot! It was 9:45 at night so after my grandma came to my house to stay with the girls we went to the ER (all instacares were closed at this time). So we get there and they took xrays of my foot. They came in told me I had a hair line fracture in the middle of my foot and that I need to go see a podiatrist next week. So I made a appointment for today. I go in and he looks at the xrays and says that (in a completely different place then what they said in the ER) I had broken a piece off the bone on the side of my foot and that the bones from big toe down were spread too far apart from the rest of my foot. Then he goes on to say I need surgery! They need to put a pin in my foot so I don't have even worse problems with it 5 years from now. What! I thought that all I had was a hairline fracture and now I need surgery! This sucks! So with in a week or so I have to go in for surgery and for 6 weeks I can't not walk on it! I don't know what I'm going to do I have 3 young children and 6 weeks of no walking that nearly impossible. I guess I'm going to have to actually let people help me! This is so hard for me! I guess this experience is suppose to teach me that I need others just as much as they need me!

This is the first time I have ever broken anything! So I guess if I'm going to do something I better do a great Job with it. The doctor said that if a professional athlete had gotten an injury of this type it could end his career!
Wish me luck as start on the next journey of my life!

Chargrilled chicken sandwich

The other day i was down stairs working on laundry when Caitlyn came and asked me if she could have her sandwich from last night. (wendy's kid meal chicken sandwich) So I told her yes and forgot about it. About 10 minutes later the smoke detector went off! I was thinking what is going on why is that going off! I raced up the stairs to find the microwave filled with smoke! I wasn't even thinking about her wanting it warmed up! Gotta love five year olds need for independence! But I stopped the microwave and opened it up to figure out what it was. After the smoke all escaped I found this.

I was very grateful to have smoke detector that day! I can't even imagine what would of happened! She had it set for like 30 minutes and it looked like this after 10! I felt like a great mom that day! :(
My house smelled like it for a week and my microwave still does to this day! But hey it still works!
