First day of school

The kids have started school - hooray for mommy! Taylor is in 2nd grade and the boys are in 1st grade.

Happy 6th Birthday Boys!

The boys turned 6 on July 3rd. I can't believe they are already 6 and getting ready for 1st grade. The time has gone by so fast. For their birthday they wanted to have a swim party with a few friends from school. Their kindergarten teacher Miss Gora even came! They were so excited to see her. Tanner requested a Super Mario Bros cake so I did my best to make one. I found a picture on the internet and just copied it over onto the cake. Not too bad for someone without any artistic talent! Grandma Becky gave them each their own Nintendo DS. Thanks grandma!!

Broken again

As some of you know, Taylor broke her right arm Memorial Day weekend while we were camping up north of Payson. Just 2 days into her summer vacation. Her forearm was broken in 3 places but was called a "green break" because the bones did not break all the way through. She was put in a full arm cast for 3 weeks and then moved into a short arm cast for another 3 weeks. Her arm is now completely healed but she wears a removeable splint whenever she plays or does any activity that could result in injury to her arm. She handled it all very well and never even cried. When they hooked her up in the emergency room to straighten her arm, she refused any medication for the pain and only said "OW" a few times. She is such a brave and strong little girl!
