Broken Foot

On March 13th I was taking out something to the van and my foot hit a spot on the driveway between the grass and cement and I took a fall.  It HURT so bad and I totally went into shock.  Nick carried me in and i was sure it was broken!  I iced it and elevated it and went to the doctor the next day.  It was broken!  The doctor put me in a boot and I had to stay off it for 2 weeks.  The next two weeks are kind of a blur.  It was HARD physically and emotionally.  Nick and the kids were great though and I was served by so many people.  Both Nick and my parents came and helped along with plenty of people in the ward.  Amy and Michelle also came and helped too.  I am now 3 weeks out and I am now walking with a boot and now crutches.  It is healing.  The podiatrist mentioned that my bones were not in very good shape.  I am now taking calcium 3 times a day.

Other February Happenings


Molly set up this "display" of fun things.  She called it Day Care and Avey and I were the kids coming to be babysat.  Love her creativity.
One day was warm enough to pull out the bikes.  Molly had grown too big for her small one, but this bigger one from her cousin is a little too big.  Which makes her nervous, but she has been trying---with her dad by her side.

Avey and I went to Yaerli's last game so Nick and Molly went out for Chinese food.  Something they both love.
Aunt Camille came up one evening and took us all to dinner.  She scored taking us to a place to get ribs.  Molly loved it and luckily they had Mac n cheese for Avey.
Nick going to Molly's school to be a watchdog.  She LOVES when her dad gets to go to school with her.   Molly got a bunch of new cute pass down clothes and boots.  She was showing them off.

 The girls Valentines they gave out.

Family movie night with Michelle and her kids.  Claire and Avey are about a year apart, but they are about the same size and play so well together.  They are like best buddies.
One day a week or so ago, Avey had a cough and yucky nose.  You could tell she wasn't feeling well.  I was getting her bed ready for her to take a nap and came in to see her already sleeping.
Playing with dad and mustaches.
Valentine party at the church and music group for little Miss Avey.
 Getting to see Yaerli play her last basketball game.
A nice warm day...in the 60's and Avey thought it was time to play "beach."
Doing puzzles.
Sending a balloon to Heaven on Hunters birthday.  Molly had the idea to send a message to Cherish too.
The Sonata hit a milestone...100000!!
I went to get an X-ray of my back.  Hip and low back pain since I was pregnant with Molly.  Worse when pregnant, but not really ever feeling better.  Then recently shooting pain down my right leg.  The X-ray looked good so I will have an MRI on Friday.

Valentines 2016

Nick and I were blessed to be able to get a babysitter and have a night at a church dance with Amy and Logan.It brought us back to our collage days and it was a very fun, magical night!  Our girls wanted breakfast in bed for Valentines so Nick and I woke them up with trays of food to hurry and eat before church.

Snowboarding

This weekend Nick took Molly snowboarding for the first time, with Johns family.  Nick said she was terrified when she was at the top of the lift, but she did really well and had a really fun time!  She was so happy to have a fun date with her dad and so proud of herself for "being a snowboarder."
