I had my foot exerayed and it wansn't broken just sprained and brused. It is getting a little better I am able to beare a little wight on it. I still have to keep it elevate the majority of the time or it just swells.

Shae's surgery went well it was the coming out of the anaesthesia that was the hard part. She just cried and cried and cried and when you tried to do what she wanted she would just cry louder, she was so confused. Normally you can compromise with her but this time there wasn't any compromising going on. She is feeling pretty good, it is the keeping her down that it the hard part. She just wants to run and play and ride her bike and go everywhere the other kids are going. She thinks we are mean because she wants to eat whatever she wants....like her favorite....Chips. How do you make a 4 year old understand that if your throat hurts a little and then you eat hart things it is only going irritate your throat and make it feel worse?

Kayla just came to tattle and it looks like I done updating...Shae into some chips....

So I was at work, it's about 10:30 pm, I just got out of a 2 hour meeting and I am walking down the stairs apparently not paying attention. I thought that I was at the bottom of the landing but I had one more stair before the bottom landing so when my foot didn't land right I rolled my ankle and I fell. 2 of my teammates were walking right behind me. It hurt really bad and they kept asking are you OK. Well yeah I thought after the pain goes away I'll be find...but I just felt like a total idiot. I wasn't going to even report the incident until I realized that my ankle was getting really fat. I then decided I had to go tell my manager what an idiot I was because I didn't know how to walk down the stairs. I don't think it is broken but I have decided to go to the doctor so AFLAC will at least pay me...I wish someone was video taping me so I could at least see how funny I looked.

SuRgErY fRiDaY :(

Beginning in March Shae had a run on of fevers and not feeling well for about two weeks...we seen two doctors with no results. The first one thought she just had virus, the second figured the only thing might be an infection in her tonsils. We were able to convince the second Dr. to put her on an antibiotic. This at least helped the infection and fevers go away to get her feeling better. I took her to a ENT specialist last week and he decided that her tonsils were really big, causing many problems and needed to be removed. Long storey short, Shae is having surgery Friday. Recovery time should only be 5-7 days...so that is a good thing. It is amazing how little kids back bounce back so fast:)

We took the kids to the park Monday night while the weather was still good. The swings were diffinatly the popular thing. (sorry the pictures arn't soo good. They were taken from my cell phone.)

Once we got away from the swings sure enough Ian found the monkey bars.

This time he decieded it would be funner to walk on top.

We hope all of you had a wounderful Easter. I know we did.

Saturday I began the morning by taking 5 kids to an Easter egg hunt by myself (Brady gave me the "Oh I have to work" excuse)...it really turned out ok, the kids did what they were told to do and nobody got lost. They all got some candy and were happy. My mom showed up after it was all over with. I told her "don't be late, if your late don't bother coming because you'll miss the whole thing" sure enough she was late!

We had a few (4) cousins come over on Saturday night so their parents could go to Ambrie's Birthday party at Teasers, not my idea of fun for a party but hey hope they had fun anyways...

We even made sure we fed our visitors candy for breakfast...won't their mommy be so proud of us.

Guess we didn't do so well with Fast Sunday...bad idea to have it on Easter Sunday...

My oh My how time fly's when your busy and havin' fun...or is that just busy I can't remeber it just went by way to fast.

Braxton has been involved a lot of wrestling lately, practice twice a week and wresting meets every Saturday. Brady and Grandpa Jack took him all of the way up to Boise, Id this last weekend while the other kids and I stayed home. We went to Heather's Bridal Shower (My soon to be sister-in-law) , the girls had fun handing all of her presents to her and was just as excited as she was to see what was coming next. Then we decided to take a trip to dinner then to the park to waste a little time. Ian was of course a monkey. He crossed the monkey bars like 3 times...what 4 year old does that??? oh wait his name is Ian AKA Little Harold. We then headed to the movies to see HOTEL FOR DOGS. It turned out pretty cute. Shae decided to sleep through the whole thing, it was probably a good thing that way I was able to see the whole show. She isn't much of a TV person, she gets board easily.

We here we go to start off another week of fun.....

This is Ian, the one who learned how to climb a ladder before he could walk.

And now at four years old he climbs trees.

Sorry the video is sideways, I don't know how to turn it.

Brady teased the kids a little

I gave all the kids punching balloons to make the party really noisy (what was I thinking?)
