Been too long...

Every time something happens here, I think, post it! But then I think, nah, I'll just eat some more and watch TV. How pathetic is that?! To be fair, it has been really hot lately and I am heading into my third trimester. But there's been a lot going on so I'll post as much as I can before I feel the pull of the couch in the cool basement.

Ethan decided he wanted to up the ante on Evie's broken collarbone. So he climbed a fence at the dog park trying to get a ball and snagged his hand on the top of the chain link. On his way jumping down his hand got stuck and literally ripped a huge gash in his hand. It was nasty. The next morning I brought him in and he had not just a few stitches, but 9 stitches!!! That was traumatic to say the least. But after a needle of sedation in his backside he was ok. Although, I have to admit it was funny hearing him talk because he kept saying things like, "Um, doctor what size of needle are you going to use? What is it going to look like? What will it feel like?" Rapid fire. It was funny.

My dad's side of the family had a family reunion up in Park City this last weekend. It was a total blast. We had lunch and a scavenger hunt complete with a treasure chest for the kids at the park, rode the Alpine Slide up at the Olympic Oval, swam and played games at Jordanelle State Park, and Bucky and Ethan went for a hot air balloon ride with my dad and some other family members. We had an awesome time, and if you couldn't make it to this one, start planning for the next one in ALASKA in 3 years. I'm totally excited. Okay, here's the pictures...

9 Stitches! OUCH! That sounds like it would have hurt an awful lot...poor guy. Thanks for the update. THIRD trimester...YAY! The finish line is almost in sight...it probably feels like it too. Hang in there!

Poor Ethan! We wish we could have hung out with everyone - it just costs so much to travel with all the kids. Hope you are doing well. I say just keep watching TV and eating, two of my favorite things. -Angela

SO SO SO cute! I have to say that your kids are some of the CUTEST alive! I about fell over when I saw Evie's card to Mom. She is too precious! And that Ethan is a fun boy (although--owww---stitches---he may be a little too 'fun')! Your kids have such cute little personalities...which is no wonder having you and Bucky as their prime influences. =) Thanks for posting (when eating and watching TV is so much more fun). =) Kali

P.S. You are such a cute prego lady!
