Almost stiches

This morning, Brionney took a nasty fall right into the metal bed frame of our bed. After consulting assessing the damage, Daddy and I took her to the Instacare. She has two teeth marks inside her lip and a deep scratch under the line of her lip on the outside. She calmed down pretty quick but the scratch was pretty deep.
 She was not happy on the way to the Doctors.
 
Our girl does not like Doctors or nurses. She did fine until one of them came into the triage room.
She did not like the topical numbing ointment they gave her.
After another look after it was numb, we decided stitched were not  necessary.  She could have had some but this Instacare didn't have sedation for children so we would have to take her to the ER or hold her down and keep her still while the Doc gave her stiches. She was screaming enough just looking at it and putting this ointment on. If she didn't absolutely need them, we weren't going through the trauma. Let's hope it doesn't scar.

This afternoon, Jamie and I were making spaghetti sauce while B was playing. Then we heard the thump. She fell down the stairs and has a big red mark on her forehead. You can kind of see it in the picture- above her left eye. She has two teeth marks on her lip, a gash below her lip, and now a carpet burn on her forehead. SCORE!
I hope she feels better quick.
Thanks Grandma and Aunt Hanna for watching Jamie so Mom and Dad could take B to the Docs.
And thanks for keeping her entertained through the rough spots today.
Welcome Home.
We had a mini Chipman reunion while we were there and Tashina got the snake out for us all to see.

 
Jamie got to pet Cleo.
 
  
Miss B thought it was pretty cool too.

Of course Daddy couldn't be left out.


Colonial Village

Fourth of July weekend we went up to  Manti for a family reunion. After the reunion to went to see Jason's parents. Grandma and Grandpa were participating in the community's Colonial Fest. The whole park was set up with colonial times activities.
 
Jamie took a time out in the stocks.
 

My heros.


Grandma and Grandpa had a pottery booth. Daddy was able to make a ceramic bowl.

Jamie had fun doing the children's chores activities.
 

 
Brionney and I found some Indians. So cool. We missed the soldiers.
This was so much fun. We will definitely go back next year.

Summer Time

We live ten minutes form Quail Lake. This summer we are taking advantage. We've been out there almost every weekend. Jamie LOVES the water. He is all over the place.
 
 
Brionney has one fear- water. She curls into a ball on my shoulder trying to keep herself out of the water. But she'll lean down and splash with her hands.

 
 This past weekend we took the boat with us. SO much fun.
Will definitely be doing this again.
 
 
 Jason and Hanna
 

Jamie waiting patiently for his turn. He liked being in the boat best.
(Funny face is due to the sun in his face.)


Brionney and Mom watching Dad and Aunt Hanna on the tube.


Despite my fear of the water. I turn many turns in the tube and loved it!
The faster the better.


Jason took a turn by himself hoping to be dumped in the water. No such luck.
But he had fun anyway.

In the end, Missy B fell asleep, no one was dumped in the water (Jason threw himself off), and no one got sunburned. Awesome! See you soon, Quail Lake!

Jamie's Birthday

Jamie choose hot days for his breakfast, lunch, and dinner for his birthday.
 He got hot dogs for lunch and dinner.
 
 Ice cream cones for dessert!
 
One of his Sunbean teachers dropped by with a gift. 

For his actual birthday, Mom and Dad had to work opposite shifts. So we held off the real celebration for a day. He choose pancakes for his breakfast.
 
Then we went to Cafe Rio for his lunch and free birthday dessert.

He got lots of presents from Grandma and Grandpa, Mom and Dad, and cousins.
 
He was a rockstar all day and just went with the flow. Last night he informed me we didn't have a birthday cake. He had ice cream and a tres leches cake but no bday cake. So he helped me make cupcakes last night and we had them tonight. Poor kid celebrated his birthday for 3 days until we finally got it right.
Happy Birthday Jamie!!!

Family Vacation

We put a glow stick in a bottle of bubbles. The Bubbles did't glow but the solution did.
 We sprayed people and trees and it looked cool.
 
 We played on Provo temple grounds.
It think it may be my new favorite temple.
The big hills are perfect are running and rolling.AWESOME!!!
 
 They have these trees that you can walk under and stand. So cool inside.
 
 Brionney would not stay out of the dog kennel.
 
Jamie got lots of cool presents for his birthday!

Zoo pt 2

We past the rhinos again later on adn they were so close and HUGE!!!

 Jamie the rhino wrestler!
 
They guys are so tall and beautiful.  

 I love turtles. This little guy looked like he just collapsed with
exhaustion with his feet spread out. So cute.
 
 These two were huge! As big as our wagon at least
 
 
 Nasty creatures were big too. They give me chills. Gross.
 
This guy was big too. His counterpart was in the pond blowing bubbles.
 
Hoogle Zoo rocks and we will definitely be back when the construction is finished.
