Life is not measured by the breaths we take, but by the moments that take our breath away.

Ouch!!
Wednesday, May 13th, just 2 days after the engine in the Suburban died and left me stranded for 2 hours as I waited for the tow truck, I ended up in the ER with Caden. We had just returned home from having dinner at Chipotle's and had sent the kids to get ready for bed. Caden was in a goofy mood and wouldn't settle down. He fell and hit the corner of the wall cutting his ear open. So we had family prayer and then he and I headed for the hospital at 8:30 pm. I can't say I was thrilled about the unexpected trip. On the up side I had two hours of one-on-one with Caden. He ended up not needing stitches. They used steri strips to close the wound and then used Dermabond glued to hold it in place as it healed. A week and a half later the glue and steri strips are gone and it is healing quite nicely. While we were at the hospital we noticed just how hard he hit the wall. In this last picture, check out the bruise that goes from behind the ear all the way down his neck! It's a good he is so resilient. :)
We've been married 13 years and have 5 children. Sierra is 11 and enjoys drama, chorus, activity days, playing the piano, and spending time with her dad and her best friend Emily. Caden is 9 and enjoys school, soccor, cub scouts, and playstation. Morgan is 7 and enjoys playing with her friends and being creative-writing, drawing, painting,and other arts and crafts. Carson is 4 and enjoys helping others and playing games with anyone who will play. Connor is 2 and enjoys watching Dora, Mickey Mouse Clubhouse, and Chuggington. He loves good music-he's quite the dancer-and playing with others. Life is often chaotic, but we are enjoying it.
