Ashton's Gardening Skills

This is Ashton's FAVORITE spot to be. OUTSIDE. I am kind of dredding the winter with him becuase he LOVES to be outside. After we take the big boys to school, he knows that the next step is into the stroller and off for a walk. I don't know what we will do when it's raining. :( When he heads outside, this is the first place he heads to. My front flowerbed. I don't know why he loves it so much, but he just sits there and plays with these flowers and eats the dirt. I love that "toothie" smile of his.

Update on Bracken's Injury

Here is a picture of B's injury. We are so thrilled that after 14 days of stitches, they are finally out and his ouchie is looking great. Where he cut him was a VERY hard spot to get healed and it took a few extra days, but he is on the mend and got to play in his last flag football game. Good to have you back on the move B!!!

DOWN...SET...HIKE!!!!

B is absolutely loving football this year. He has done so, so well. It has been really fun to watch him. He is playing quarterback and wide receiver this year. I don't' know his position on defense, I'll have to ask :) Next year bring on the pads!!! I will need that Xanax by next year or maybe everyone around me will need to wear pads too. THANKS MOM!!! I inherited that from you. I don't know how you watched that many years of football. It's a good thing that I love football!!! You're doing great B! WE LOVE YOU!!!!

Bracken's Boo-Boo :(

As you can see, and sorry to those of you who don't want to see, but Bracken got a nice "gash" on his foot today. He had gone with Grandpa Dennis and Daddy to set up chairs this morning and got a little injured. They were teasing him that he wasn't hurt that bad and that he was just wimping out. Well, turns out that he was hurt pretty bad and needed about 9 stitches. The Doctor told us that he has to keep them in for about 10 days and he couldn't run or rough house at all for that period of time. I don't think he's quite figured out that he isn't going to be playing in his last few football games yet. :( But he is proud that he is going to have a great scar!!

He was such a brave patient today. We sat in the ER for about an hour before the doctor even got there, apparently not a bad enough emergency to hurry??? B was in a lot of pain and the nurse finally sprayed his cut with some Lidocaine and that helped immensely. He didn't even cry when they gave him his shots to numb it. We are so glad that he's okay and hope he feels better soon. LOVE YOU B!!!!
