Christmas injury!

Every year, I mean EVERY, one of my mother's stocking hangers breaks! This year, there was a little more to the incident... We were putting up the tree, and talking about the commercial side of Christmas. Noah asked which stocking was his, and Aaron pointed it out, he got so excited he kind of pulled on the stocking, and CRASH...down it came. Poor Noah cried really hard for about 45 minutes. (so hard he was sweating) His toes were black and blue, and bloody. Aaron gave him a blessing, and things calmed down. I waited for about 4 hours, my folks came home from the Temple, and then off to the ER we went. I waited just to see what the toes would do, he couldn't move them, so I was worried about a broken bone...

The toe I was worried about is fine. There is a small fracture on his big toe, its a hair-line, so the doctor said to keep him off his feet today! Then he can walk as he is comfortable. He will lose the nail, but that will take quite awhile!

This is the stocking holder, you can see that "frosty's" head is sideways behind his body... it weighs about 5 lbs.

And this is what happens when a stocking holder smashes 2 of your toes. I do have a "close up" of his toes, but it is a little gross....

ETSY!

Ok, so I've done it!! I have officially opened my Etsy shop!! It's not much yet, but its up and running...I hope. As of this minute there is only one book on there. Please take a look, and check back often, I will be adding more things. If anyone has any suggestions, please let me know!!

Have fun!!

October!

Ok, so I'm a BIG TIME slacker....I don't know where the time went. I'm sure no one is even going to read my blog anymore. Oh well. We spent a wonderful 12 days in Utah with Aaron's family. It was one of the best vacations, even though Noah had the flu, and I came home with the flu. My camera was with me all the time, but the card was full, and I didn't bring my spare...Lovely, I know.

Its FALL again!

Aaron and I decided to take the kids out to Sauvie Island to visit the Pumpkin Patch! We had a blast as usual. We will be in Disneyland on Halloween, so poor Noah won't be trick-or-treating this year. ;( (yeah right, he's not sad, and neither am I)

I don't think Paige likes corn....she looks a little worried.

This is the world's largest head of cabbage, YES is it normal cabbage...(on steroids)

This is me feeling like I am going to fall off the hay ride...I was sliding off the hay bail, but still managed a smile! It was a very bumpy ride!!
