~The Uncovering~

Patrick was able to undo the bandages and take a shower yesterday. He had to wrap it with saran wrap first and I just had to take a picture of that. He was feeling so good that he thought he could do more than he really could. Needless to say, the swelling went way up and a couple of the incisions started bleeding. So he has been doing nothing the past day and a half and it is getting better.

SURGERY!!

Patrick finally had his knee surgery on Monday. Everything went well and he is feeling much better. He wants to get up and run but I won't let him. He can't take the bandages off until tomorrow so I will have more picts of the actual wound later. Oh ya! We had his cousins here for the weekend. She was doing my hair and I did her nails. Then Patrick was just laying there and we decided to do his nails too. Enjoy :)

...And the school starts:

Today was the first day of the next 25+ years. Nellie started school! She has been looking forward to this day for a LONG time. When I took her she went right in and didn't look back. Samantha on the other hand didn't want to leave. She wanted to stay and play. Then we went to the car and Samantha was freaking out. She was worried about Nellie and didn't want to leave her behind. So the picts I have are of Nellie very excited to go to school and Samantha bawling. She can't wait to go back tomorrow. I can't wait either :)

Pictures

My mom wanted to get pictures of the family before my brother and his family went back to Idaho. So we got together and this is what came of it. My mom made us wear matching color T-shirts for each family. By the way they were not our choice.

Piano!

I have always wanted my very own piano, but never had the space or money. I still don't really have the space but was able to get on for free! The missionaries in our ward went tracting and came across this piano outside. They asked the people what they were going to do with it and they said they were going to give it away. Knowing that I wanted a piano the missionaries asked the person if they could have it. She said yes and now it is mine. It is so beautiful and will play great in a few weeks, after it is tuned. The girls have already had their first lesson today and are loving it also. Thanks to the missionaries, I owe them big time :)

Crazy Weekend!

This past weekend we went camping with my brother and his family. Patrick had to work on Saturday so he took his scooter. I told Kyle to give him VERY detailed directions. To make a long story short Patrick got lost(in the rain on his scooter), I got lost, Kyle had to go and find Patrick and I met up with them so we could all get to the campground. Kyle said he didn't give us very good directions. Oh well. Camping was fun. We went to the river on our way home and took some fun picts. It was a pretty good weekend and we get to do the camping thing all over again in a couple of weeks with our ward. I will be much more prepared next time!

Memories-

I saw this on another friends blog and thought this sounded like fun.

1. As a comment on my blog, leave one memory that you and I had together, or one of the first memories you have of me. It doesn't matter if you knew me a lot or a little, anything you remember.

2. Next, re-post these instructions on your blog and see how many people leave a memory about you. It's actually pretty funny to see the responses, If you leave a memory about me, I'll assume you're playing the game and I'll come to your blog and leave one about you.

I wonder what everyone else remembers that I don't??!! HA HA HA!!
