Kylie Felt Rejected!

So Tuesday night miss Kylie had an itch in her cast....

She had been told not to use hangers or other sharp objects to stick down her cast and scratch. So she chose to use a marker instead. Unfortunately, she use the wrong end....the end with the lid! As luck would have it the lid got stuck in the cast. We tried for at least an hour trying to pry it out with spoons, pencils and fingers. To no Avail. Luckily she had an appointment the next day to have it xrayed again...to be continued.

Wednesday when we were pulling in to the south side parking lot of the hospital Kylie read the sign at the entrance....





In a very loud...extremely offended voice she says.... "No Moron patient parking!!"


Jeff and I were laughing so hysterically!! As I rolled down the window to get my parking pass from security I couldn't even talk...I just pointed to the hospital and he kindly gave me the pass.

Continuation...


Once we regained our composure we shuffled into the constantly overcrowded fracture clinic. At the clinic they call the kids back to get the x-ray first. Kylie failed to mention to the tech that she had a Lid stuck in her cast. When the doctor came in to go over the x ray with us we pointed it out to her and she used her "magic tool" to pry the lid out. Thank Goodness they were able to do it without having to take the cast off and put a new one on (they charge for each package of plaster ya know).


Kennadie will be turning 7 in eleven more days!! She is such the awesome little girl!! The other night she was teaching us a lesson in our bedroom and had managed to tangle her legs (to look professional) check out the flexibility...






She is such a fun little girl!! For her birthday she just wants to be with her family!!

This month marks Doc's suspected birth month. Obviously we have no absolute because he was a pound puppy but the vet put a guess on his age and October was a guess for a month. If the guesses are accurate then he is 12 years old now!! If you don't know Doc he is my absolute best companion in the whole world!! Some compare him to newman on seinfield but to me he is the bestest friend I have ever had!!!





Happy Birthday "Doctor Dog"!!!

Very Fun Date!

Saturday was the kids very special tradition of going with Grandma and Grandpa to the pumpkin patch. Daddy wasn't feeling well so he asked me to go in his place...since I was a loner that day anyway. It was so fun to see the kids get excited over the different pumpkins. They all took off running right when we got there....My 3 took off straight for the corn maze while Dylan searched to see where they went. Sydney had found the wheelbarrow and was set out to find her pumpkin. Mom followed Sydney while I waited for the other 4 to get done with the maze. Once they made it through the maze they headed off to the pumpkins. It was so cute...they would run to one.."this is mine" then they would see another in the distance...take off running..."this ones mine". Finally they each settled on a pumpkin. Sydney was content to just push the wheelbarrow while the others searched and searched. Naturally Kasey HAD to have the biggest!! Funny thing is...it was the most smushed. It was a very fun experience and I really enjoyed the opportunity....Thanks Daddy!!! :)

Saturday night we found ourselves with just one kid.....THE BUG!! At first we were a little disappointed that we were unable to find somewhere for her to go while we went on a date (Melissa had something come up so she couldn't...we still love her!!). However, it turned out to be quite a fun little outing. Kylie had gone to a Halloween Party and Kasey was taking his turn staying at Jayden's house (they switch off on the weekends). We really wanted some Sushi for dinner because it had been a while since we had some. I didn't think Kenna would really go for that but she said "this is your date...I will have SOUP!" So we ventured downtown to our secret little cheap sushi place. I took advantage of the great photo ops!!! Kennadie tried Sushi for the first time....and LOVED it!!!

Afterwards we took her to Hollywood Connections for some miniature golfing. She is such a fun little girl to play with!! One of the holes was an alligator that you aim your ball for the mouth. Well I hit my ORANGE ball straight into the mouth and it regurgitated a BLUE one!! It was the funniest dang thing ever!!! By the time we finished the game Kenna was pretty much exhausted!! She went right to sleep when we got home!! It was so fun to see her interact with Jeff at each hole..I Love that Bug!

Kasey is doing absolutely AWESOME!!! He is a little bruised up still and a tiny bit of swelling...you can't even tell they had to cut unless you look very very close. His nose is SOO straight!! I am excited for him to heal up! Doesn't he look great??

Kylie got her hard cast put on last Wednesday...she totally picked orange and black stripes...YUCK!! It might have been cute if the doctor actually did stripes...it was his idea and he did more like....ummm...I can't find a word for it...just see for yourself.

She is doing much better!! Wednesday they will do another xray and if all is still well then we don't have to go back for 4 more weeks!! In the meantime...she loves using the laptop at school for her school work and getting the attention from strangers. Bathtime is miserable....for both her and I!! Can we say awkward when you have to shave your childs armpits!!

That is all I will post for now....I am sure you have had enough excitement for now....I hope you are all enjoying this fall season!! Love Ya!!

Some Good News!!

Friday we got a call from Kasey's surgeon telling us they had changed his surgery to Monday! So yesterday he underwent his second surgery on his nose!! They broke the surrounding bones and repositioned it. He has a splint type thing over his nose so we can't really tell what it looks like! He is doing awesome!! He hasn't complained once about pain so that is a huge plus!! We go back to the surgeon on Friday.

Kylie has really struggled with her arm. She tried to go back to school yesterday and only lasted half the day. I took her to the pediatrician yesterday to just make sure nothing was wrong. I just thought it was odd that a week later it was still hurting even with Lortab. They readjusted the splint and gave her more medication. She goes to the fracture clinic tomorrow to have it xrayed again and the hard cast put on.

I think Kennadie is having a spurt of jealousy....this morning she was making up every excuse she could to stay home with Kasey and Jeff. Hopefully she will let it pass soon!

Jeff is still on the lookout for a job so if you hear of anything let us know!! Everything else is going great!!

Bad Luck or...a Curse??

I have never been one to believe in Witchcraft or any type of superstition. However, I am beginnning to wonder what on earth is happening!! I'll let you help me figure it out...call it an investigation!!

First of all, I was suppose to be getting promoted into a new position in the company...and I am sure eventually it will happen. But, due to another director being involved in illegal activity (thus being fired) and a few other directors being fired for other reasons. Unfortunately the shifting of people from one store to another did not include ME!! My opportunity to leave my store has been put on hold until we can find someone or train someone to run my store!!

Then the day before Jeff's Birthday; last week he lost his job!! It was a very complicated situation that involved his direct supervisor and his salesman. Jeff had been trying to work out some differences with his salesman (who is best friends with Jeff's direct supervisor). He thought things were getting worked out by the higher ups but apparently not in his favor. Basically, Jeff was fired and the friend of the supervisor stayed! Imagine that!! We have heard that the salesman recieved a final written warning and soon will be fired as well. We will see! So Jeff is back to looking for another job....hopefully with a comparable salary!!

Now, go back in time with me....to August...what happened in August?? Yes that is right Kasey broke his nose!! Okay...let's move on to September...what happened in September?? Yes right again Kennadie cracked her head open!! Ahh and now we have October.....ONLY 7 DAYS in....

This is Kylie's right arm!! One tech's hand is on her elbow, the other techs hand is on her hand!! The hand under her arm is where the break is!! This is the result of a cartwheel gone Very Bad!!

I recieved a call from my mom at 1:00pm yesterday informing me that my daughter was being transported by ambulance to Primary Childrens Hospital. Certainly not the type of phone call anyone wants to recieve!! I was SOOOO angry that I did not recieve a call from the school!! I checked my phone several times to see if somehow I had missed it and NOPE they never called me!! I am just So grateful that my mom was available to be with her!! Mom made it to the school as they were loading her in the ambulance. Then she followed them there...she called me as they were leaving the school...MY PHONE WORKED JUST FINE!!!! I actually made it to the hospital before the ambulance so I was relieved about that! Kylie was heavily medicated when she arrived and was happy and talking so that really put my mind at ease! After several hours they finally reset her arm (under anesthesia)! I was surprised at how straight they got her Radius bone. The Ulna wasn't as straight but the hope is that it will heal together just fine. She is in a Splint from her shoulder to her fingers and next Wednesday (the day before Kasey's surgery) she will have another Xray to make sure it didn't move. If it is still straight, they will put it in a hard cast. If not...well I don't even want to go that direction!! Here is what the Xray looked like.....

Pretty Narly Eh!!!

Today she has been pampered by Me and Jeff and for the rest of the week she will be home with Jeff!! She may be able to return to school on Monday!! She is doing okay other than some pain but she is actually pretty upbeat about the situation. She Claims she will never do another Cartwheel!! I give her 3 weeks from getting the cast off!!

I promise to bring better news in my next blog!! Keep Kylie in your prayers!!

Love Ya!!
