Broken Foot

At 5:00 one night Lexi and Carter were fighting over a toy.  Lexi held her arm out so Carter couldn't get it and made him fall on the tile.  Carter cried really hard.  He wouldn't walk or let me put him down.  My Dad came at 5:15 to watch the kids while Cole and I went out.  We told him what happened and he said he'd be fine watching him.  When we got home Carter still wouldn't put weight on it and he didn't sleep at all that night.  The next day I took him to the instacare and they x-rayed it.  His first metetarcil on his right foot had a small fracture.  They put it in a splint and a few days later we went to the doctor to get a cast.  He eventually got used to sleeping with it but then got sick so for a week we didn't get much sleep.  The cast only was on for 2 weeks and he did really well with it. 

Pennsylvania

We decided to fly to Pennsylvania as a family to go to Lincoln and Kim's wedding.  It was a special event because it was the first time Lexi and Carter had been to Grandma Chamberlain's house.  The kids did well on the flight there and adjusted well to the new environment.  They loved sleeping in the walk in closet.  Grandma gave the kids new stuffed animals and books and Lexi has had to sleep with hers every day since!  We got to go to the Crayloa factory and both kids loved it.  I loved that everything was washable:)  The wedding was wonderful and we loved seeing the Manhattan temple.  Cole had to drive to the city and did really well.  The ring ceremony and reception were wonderful.  We all tried Shirley Temple's for the first time and loved them (especially Carter).  They had a dance after the dinner and my kids literally danced until they dropped.  It was so much fun.  Each time we would try to leave the dance floor Lexi would ask to go back (and we would!).  I loved doing it with my kids and having those fun memories as a family.  We went bowling one day and everyone enjoyed it.  We had a 1 year old and a 91 year old bowling together.  It was something to cherish.  Both of my kids loved getting to know everyone and have asked to go see Grandma again multiple times.

Big Girl Shoes

I finally got a pair of real high heels!  I have been looking for some for a long time and discovered that Nordstrom carries a few in size 4.  I still haven't quite mastered walking in them and they are a little big but I feel so good in them.  It's fun to finally have big girl shoes.  The kids loved trying them on and could walk in them better than me!
