At the Cabin...Oct 09

Jake and Daddy on a hike


Luke, Ty and Scout on a hike

Preparing the pit!



Roasting hot dogs!








CHEESE!!

A really strange bug/ant we found.
It was covered in fuzz!
Curt, the boys, and I headed to the cabin on Thursday afternoon. We had planned on taking our friends (Chad, Trisha and their kids) with us but they ended up having to work on Saturday. So, for the first time, the 5 of us went up by ourselves....and it was so much fun! And dare I say, a bit relaxing??!! The boys were all really good and, thanks to Dramamine, no one barfed on the trip--except our dog. We were all a bit bummed out because the one ATV that was up there wouldn't start :( but we still had a great time. We decided to cut our stay a little short because, while we were there, Curt had received word that his dad was having some health problems. Cell phone reception isn't always the greatest out in the middle of no where and Curt needed to be able to be in contact with his mom. So later on Saturday morning, we decided to clean up, load up, and head home. Long story short, Rich is in the hospital in SLC and will need a valve replaced in his heart. I got choked up when I told the boys what was going on. They all love their grandpa so much and Luke cried a little bit obviously out of concern for him. We are all praying that the dr's will be successful and that Grandpa Holbrook can recover quickly.
We love you, Grandpa!!

Cast OFF!!



Jake got his cast taken off yesterday!! As soon as we got home he got to take a nice, long bath!! I think the smell of his stinky foot will forever be imbedded in my nostrils. GROSS.
Let's keep our fingers crossed for NO MORE CASTS!!

Another Cast For Jake :(

This was our happy boy before....


This is him after...













On Sept 2nd,
Jake and his brothers were playing out in the backyard
after the boys had gotten home from school. I heard Jake screaming so I hurried outside and found all 3 boys on the trampoline. Jake was in obvious pain. He wouldn't put any weight on his right leg. I knew that wasn't a good sign. As soon as Curt got home, I took Jake to the Urgent Care. Long story short, he wore a temporary splint for a week, until we were able to see the pediatric orthopedic specialist. He took more x-rays and informed me that he suspected a "toddler fracture" on Jake's tibia. The dr couldn't actually see the fracture, but was able to see an area on the tibia where it was healing. So....Jake got to have a full cast on his leg. He was such a good boy! I was so proud of him :) The cast hasn't slowed him down at all. He will only wear the cast for about 2 1/2 weeks and we are very much looking forward to then!!

The Boys' Favorite Past Times

Lego's














Star Wars drawings...









Ty's Animals








One morning before school,
Ty was playing with these stuffed animals and asked me to take pictures of them.
Then he discovered that, because his horse was magnetic, it would stick to my metal sign. He kept changing its pose for each picture. What a crack up!!


Makutu's Island











On Saturday, August 14th,
we took the boys to Makutu's Island. We wanted to do something fun with them since Daddy had been gone a lot with coaching his football team. The boys had so much fun!!
