Surgery

To those of you that don't know, I am getting major leg surgery on wednesday. I am getting really nervous. When I was 12 I had my right leg lengthened 2 2/1 inches. It made my leg crooked and I didn't want more surgery to fix it. So I left it a lone and in August my ankle started hurting so bad and sometimes I could barely walk. So after a few monthe of it not going away I decided to go to the doctor and figure out what was wrong. The doctor said that since my leg is so crooked it is straining the ligaments and grinding the bones in my ankle. And the only way to fix it is by getting surgery to straighten my leg. I am so bummed because the doctor is going to cut my bone and put a rod into the middle of it. I have staples in my other leg and he is going to take those out too. So, I am going to be on crutches for 2 1/2 months and then a boot or a cane. It will take about 5-6 months to heal. I am so sad that I am going to be away from my kids and not be able to take care of them by myself for awhile. I will be in the hospital for 2 days and I will keep you posted when I can, and let you know how it goes. Wish me luck!

Snowmobiling

I had to take a picture of him in his long johns



We went snowmobliling to the cabin this weekend and it was awesome! It was such a warm day on Friday. We didn't have to worry about the kids getting too cold. We heated up the cabin and just hung out for 2 days it was great. Colin had the bright idea of climbing on the roof and sliding down it like a huge slide. It was really fun but a little scary for me, but of course my kids just loved it. They are not scared of anything. I miss snowmobiling I don't go anymore because I always have a baby or am pregnant. I am glad that my kids are big enough to go now. Just like I did growing up! Seriously every weekend we went, my parents were snowmobiling freaks. We NEVER sat at home on a weekend. Enjoy the pics
