MAKENNA'S 1ST EMERGENCY ROOM VISIT

MaKenna had her 1st emergency room visit on Tuesday night. Here's the story. Our neighbor let the boys ride her really cool chopper looking bicycle. Russell and I even rode it around. Anyway, she wanted it washed so while Caden was doing that the front tire was not on tight and it came off. Thank goodness no one was riding it when that happened. So we tipped it upside down and were trying to put the tire back on. Bryce and MaKenna were turning the pedals backward and watching the back tire go around. When all of the sudden some how they turned it the other way and MaKenna's finger got caught in the sprocket that the chain goes on as it was going. She is screaming with her finger stuck and I am freaking out trying to pull the chain off to get her finger out. Russell was frantic trying to figure out how to get the chain off to get her finger out. He some how thought about trying to turn it backwards and that did the trick. Her ring finger on her right hand at the 1st crease was all smashed and bleeding. IT WAS HORRIBLE! Anyway the neighbor heard yelling and crying and came out to see what was up. We told her what happened and rushed MaKenna to the ER. Luckily it wasn't broke and it didn't need stitches. So the morale of the story is don't let your kids play with the pedals while fixing the bike or take the chain off so someone doesn't lose a finger.

OUR UTAH VACATION!!

We just got back from spending four days in Utah!! We went to the Hogle Zoo, swimming at the hotel every day & night, Mayan restuarant, Hill Air Force Museum, Chuck E. Cheese, & watched fire works.We had a lot of fun and created some great family memories! My favorite was not having to cook dinner every night and I loved the Mayan restaurant. I could have stayed there longer watching the show!

HI MOM!!! Kenna & Dad on the merry-go-round!

MaKenna turned 3!!!

MaKenna tuned three on the 26th of June! I can't believe she is three already! When she woke up the day of her birthday I said to her, MaKenna it's your birthday today. She said, me, it's my happy day! Yeaaaaaaaaa!!!! All day she would say it's my happy day, I'm tree (three) and she would hold up her hand. We are still working on the correct word for three & the fingers. It was SOOOOOO CUTE!! Later that evening we decorated the house, made a cake and had one of her favorite dinners, chicken nuggets & french fries. She really just wanted cake. She kept saying were's my happy day cake. We sang and opened presents. What a great day!! They grow up so fast!!
