Easter and Muscles

Easter this year was a little different this year. We still had a lot of fun it just isn't the same without the whole family and in a new and different place. Micah's broken arm didn't help matters either. He is doing better but it is still very painful for him.

We hid their easter baskets in the house so that Micah wouldn't have to go too far or work too hard to find his. Kadee found her's first and was sooooo excited.

Kadee got My Little Ponies in her's.

For the 2 older kids I made little coupon books for days out with mom, lunch and other activities for time with mom and dad.

Have you ever seen anyone this excited over Countrytime Strawberry Lemonade!!





So one day I was in the bathroom getting ready and Kadee comes in and starts putting rubberbands on her arms. When I asked her what she was doing, she told me she was getting muscles. She then went in to wrestle with her daddy. (This is a favorite pasttime for these two) She stood up on the chair and flexed her muscles and said, "I have muscles, OH YEAH!!" Lynn and I almost laughed to tears. She then jumped off the chair and tackled daddy.

One of her favorite sayings while standing on the couch or chair waiting to pounce is, "You want a piece of me!" She comes up with the funniest stuff for a little girl!!

Broken arm number 2!! Are you kidding me??!!

I was just dropping off a patient at the hospital on Tuesday when I got a call from Lynn. He said the Micah had broken his arm again and they were on their way to the hospital now. I had a little bit of a melt down there in the ambulance bay, it has been a VERY stressful month and this was just the "Straw that broke the camels back" This is the sight of my boys arm that met my eyes when they arrived at the ER. I started to cry and so did Micah, he had been so brave and strong til he saw his mommy. This is the same arm and the same place he broke his arm in December only this time he had to have surgery. The surgeon had to rebreak his arm at the old break because it had healed wrong. So he now has 2 breaks, 2 metal plates, and 8 screws in his arm. We brought him home yesterday and he is doing pretty good as long as we keep the pain meds on board.
