Catch up and Farm Fun

The weekend after Memorial weekend, my mom had Garage Sale. It turned out great! We had a lot of people show up through the day and got rid of a lot of stuff! I brought a bunch of desserts to sale and did a pretty good job too. By the end of the day my kids were really getting into it and handing out fliers to people as soon as they got out of their cars. It was pretty cute. I sold almost everything that I brought and made some nice change. It was a lot of fun!

The next weekend, June 11-13 was a busy one too. The 11th and 12th were our Ward Campout, which we had up at the farm. A good friend of mine from our ward came up with me, and all of our kids. to get dinner started. We made chili and let it cook all day in the dutch ovens. We'd only been up there for about 5 minutes when Grace came running through and tripped over a little stump in the ground. She landed right on her left wrist and it hurt, a lot! I, being the horrible mom that I am, had just started getting food set up and ready to cook. I looked at her arm and wasn't sure if she broke it....it wasn't obviously broke. I made a sling for her and set her in the pickup to rest. She did that for quite awhile. Her grandpa showed up and he wrapped it nicely with some horse wrap and that did the trick for her, she was off and running again. I didn't think too much about it for the rest of the day.....horrible, I know! After we got done with the campout, and all packed and ready to head home, I decided that I needed to take her in to the Dr. and have it checked, just in case. She'd been doing really well, other than waking up in the middle of the night telling me that it hurt.....but I didn't have anything that she would take, so she went back to sleep. Anyway, I dropped the kids off at the house and Grace and I headed into the Dr.'s office. Well sure enough, she had a buckle break in both of her bones by her wrist. So another cast we got! But, luckily(I think) I know the front receptionist and she told me about swimmers casts! I had never heard of them before! I was so excited because the kids had swim lessons in two weeks that had already been paid for! Grace was able to get a cast that she could get wet and swim in.

That Sunday my Sister and her husband and kids were in town so Mom got all the food ready and we headed up to the farm on Sunday for a family barbeque. It was the perfect day for kite flying, and the kids did a lot of that!



These girls were having so much fun being silly together!

Hahahahaha! I just had to put up this beautiful picture of my baby sister! MWAH!
