The ablity to laugh at ones self saves the soul!

Everyone has a Rough Day now and then. Right now my seem to be going back to back. Hopefully this means a string of good days in my future.

Christopher spilled this lovely Paint all over the tile floor! It was a disaster! I was just getting ready to stop working to take Brandon to the doctor's when this happened. Oh the joy that is my life sometimes. Christopher climbed the ladder and kind of knocked the whole thing over. I was so upset as I was attempting to clean up this most recent mess.

I was ready to just give up and was doing my best to not put the babies out in the yard with the dog! I finally got most of it cleaned up and went upstairs to change. I had paint on my arms and legs and then I looked in the mirror! Brandon said that I sounded like a crazy woman because I was laughing so hard. I had paint hand prints all over my face. I had put my hands on my face over and over again when I was stressing out over getting the paint up. I looked like a crazy woman. I am so grateful to Heavenly Father for the ability to laugh at myself because after that it suddenly did not seem like the end of the world as it had a few minutes before.

new hair cut

pinewood derby

Alex participated in his first Pinewood derby this year. A friend of ours help Alex cut it out since John was not here to help. Brandon and Alex gave it this sweet paint job.

Although his car did not win he had a fun time and got plenty of ideas of how to improve his car next year.

A lovely weekend in New Mexico with my wonderful husband.

Brie and Vi

While we are waiting for our new back door to come in our door is boarded up. Brandon decided to cut a dog door out and well Brie found out how to get out. There is no way to get out this door except through this hole. So Ryann had to crawl out and bring her back.

surgery number 9 completed

We had a lot of time before surgery while we waited for Christopher's turn in the OR. He was in a good mood, we played with the nurses, read books and played Candyland, which he won!

this picture was taken right after I got my little man back. He was a Little upset at first but calmed down after I was able to hold him. We got to leave a few hours after surgery.

The last picture was Christopher this morning. He was in a good mood and glad to be home. When he moves he is however reminded that he just had surgery yesterday and he Will touch his side and say " that's sore" in his cute little kissy way.

It's Just a head wound

On Easter poor Christopher fell at my sister's and had gravel stuck in his head. He had two spots that possibly needed to be stitched shut but my sister and I decided rather then putting him through going to the hospital again we butterflied it shut. I figured even if there was a little scar that would be better then putting this little guy through more. After all he has another surgery scheduled for Monday and the truth if I was grateful that it was just a normal kid trauma.
