Tacoma's turn

It seems like things just keep happening around our place. It is now Tacoma's turn to get hurt. Yesterday at school he was playing tag and ran into a pole. He said he didn't know that the pole was there. It wasn't a long cut just deep. He got 3 stitches and a black eye from it. Hopefully this is the end of accidents for us, at least for awhile.

Tessa's leg

So we got to the problem of Tessa's leg. She did not brake the outer bone but had some damage to the inside of it. The Dr. put on a cast and hopefully it will only be on until the end of next week. Let's hope she will start walking on her leg now.

She thought it was fun to get the cast put on, but when we got out to the truck she said "can we take it off now?" I hope we survive.

Taigely's Baptism

Taige was baptized on Saturday March 12th. She was so excited and has been counting down the days until it finally came. She had a great day! A big Thank You to all who came to support her and for all your gifts you gave her. Thank you to both Grandma's for giving talks in the program. It really was a memorable day for her!! Congratulations Taige. We are so proud of you and your decision to be baptized.

An ugly mole

Talon had a mole on his head that the Doctor wanted to get removed. I went into the office with Talon and Tessa not knowing what it would turn into. The Dermatologist saw it and said we need to get roots and all. He said he would get stitches, that it would hurt really bad and that he would set up the surgery room for it. I thought holy cow. I was thinking they would just scrape it off, boy was I wrong. They first put medicine in his head with a syringe and said this would hurt the most. They put so much in that he looked like he had a golf ball under his skin. After that they dug into it. It was a huge hole in his head. Talon just held his breath and didn't even cry. He asked me to just hold his hand. They couldn't believe how brave he was and said they have much older kids than him who kick them and scream. After burning the inside to stop the bleeding they stitched him up. I couldn't believe the whole thing. I am glad we got out that ugly mole and so proud of my little guy.

After taking out the mole. You can't see it completely but his whole forehead and around his eyes are swollen now. They said he will probably have a black eye.

Taige is 8!!!

What a busy few months of birthdays we have had. Taigely turned 8 in February. I can't believe it. She is growing up way to fast. She is such a special girl and brings a lot of joy to our family. She also knows just how to push my buttons. Maybe we are a lot alike. She is so excited for her upcoming baptism. I can't believe I will have two kids that are baptized. I have posted some pictures of her and will post more after her big day.
