The Cute Stuff

Fun at Grandpa and Grandma Clark's

Ceal, Kenzie and I threw Tonya a "Garden Party" Bridal Shower. I must say we did a great job:-) It was a gorgeous day, everything looked so good and the food was awesome! Claire and Owen are slated to be the flower girl and ring bearer in Tonya's wedding (let's hope they fully cooperate) and we are so excited! It was a busy weekend but everything turned out great. As always we had a blast visiting Grandpa and Grandma Clark, but are looking forward to just relaxing with them this weekend at the cabin. Best wishes Tonya and Josh.

Looking forward to the big Day.

So Sweet

My parents helped us out agiain watching the kiddos when Tracy girl had to go out of town. Thanks Papa and Amma. Here is a cute one of Papa reading to Claire Jean.

Trailers

Owen is in LOVE with trailers these days. He loves hooking up Brad's utility trailer, "gettin dirt" and riding behind Brad in this bike trailer. He loves his toy trailers and is always hauling blocks and Sissy's dolls. The other day we were playing outside and he was trying to hook up the bike trailer to his big wheels. I "engineered" it and off he went. The next thing I knew Claire had climbed in. They had sooooo much fun. Don't you just love Sissy's smooshy face. She kept smashing her face against the window and I would laugh which would make her do it again. It went on and on. So cute!

Accident

Okay Okay, this is what happened....

I was weeding the flowerbed in the middle of the driveway(yes a gardening accident - don't laugh too hard), went to step down an rolled my ankle. My sister Katie talked me into going to the ER because it was not really swelling or bruising and because 4 hours later I was still crawling around because I still couldn't put any weight on it. So off to the ER we go. It was around 7:30 and we had to bring the kiddos of course (they can"t stay home alone yet). Turns out it was just a really bad sprain but they wanted to make sure I stayed off of it so they suggested a splint. I know it seems overkill, but I will say it was worth it because I'm feeling a million times better. We are supposed to run the Crater Lake Half Marathon this weekend. Brad is still running but I have switched my registration to the 10K. I'm very disappointed but know it's for the best. So the best part of the ER...Owen hit the emergency call button and the nurses came running in. It freaked him out and he started crying. The nurse felt so bad that she brought back a pile of stickers....Owen forgave her. HILARIOUS!

New Bike Helmets and Trailer

The Tuomisto's let us borrow their bike trailer for awhile and we are sooooooo excited. We bought helmets today and the kids actually put them on! We are so looking forward to getting out for our first ride. It will be absolutely perfect for our summer plans (Odell Lake, the Cabin, Diamond Lake). Yippee!!!
