A Big Ouchie!

Unfortunately Carson got a broken leg today. He and I were jumping on the trampoline, yes in January. Hey, it was a nice day and we needed to get out for a little while. Anyway I jumped too high and he caught the whole bounce on his right leg. It fractured right below his knee. We took him first to a minor emergency where we found out that it was broken. They sent us to the emergency room to decide whether he needed surgery or not. Thankfully the break did not go into the growth plate like originally thought, so no surgery. So he'll be in a splint for the next 3 or 4 days and then have a cast for the next 4-6 weeks. Hopefully we'll both start feeling better soon. My sorrow and his pain. Poor little guy.

A New Little Nephew

Yesterday my sister-in-law and brother welcomed a new little member to their family! Mason James Elton made his appearance around 5:00 p.m. last night. We are all so glad that mother and baby are doing well!

A Very McQueen Christmas

We didn't plan it but every gift except one that Carson received was from the movie Cars, his favorite since he was 2. He got McQueen P.J., Mac and Cars from the movie, 2 cases for all his cars, a magnetic name board with Cars background, a blanket with Mater and McQueen on it, and a Cars camping kit which included a tent, sleeping bag, flashlight, compass and backpack. Needless to say that Carson slept in his tent for a week after Christmas. I'm sure it was the perfect Christmas for Carson even if it wasn't planned.

Shepherd and Angel

On Christmas Eve our family acted out the Nativity scene. Carson was asked to be a Shepherd and Alaina was asked to be an Angel. They were so cute! Here are the pictures to prove it.

Santa Clause

Carson was very excited to see Santa Clause, but the only way we could get Alaina to sit on Santa's lap was to give her some candy. Ah, the things we do to our kids.

Our Very Little Snowman

Before Christmas of coarse we had snow and as all little boys want to, Carson wanted to make a snowman. So this was our attempt. The snow wasn't very good packing snow, so that's why our snowman is so small and sad looking. Oh, well. We had fun doing it.

Sick-Again!

Yes, I'm sick again. I've had this awful cold/flu since Wednesday. Everyday I feel a little better but I still don't feel all that great. Plus Alaina is getting in her top two teeth. So as you can imagin it's been quite a week. Thankfully Tony's last day at Scentsy was last Monday. So he's been available to help with the house, the meals, and the kids. Husbands are so wonderful in times of need. He even bought me roses! What a great guy, right! Sorry girls he's taken.
