Moab

Me and my mom always have the dirtiest faces!


Brennan had the need to open his mouth

he actually fell asleep on the 4 wheeler





no fear




and all of the kids have to hold it



the one of many lizards we caught






Colin is a geek, this was the "weiner rock"







Me and Conns









Brennan thought it was "so fun mommy!"








I was so excited when my parents invited us to go to moab this weekend! Everyone was nervous to take me with my leg, but I really have no pain and am actually walking with just a boot and no cane! Yay, I am getting back to normal. So we went and rode the 4 wheelers and it was awesome! I had no pain and my knees were just a little sore. But we had so much fun and it was so nice to get out of the house, and it didn't hurt thast it was 77 degrees! I took lots of pics and they were all so cute so I had to post a lot

Living it up!


I went to the grocery store with my mom this week and I rented a motorized cart. It was pretty fun. Brennan rode on my lap the whole time and was good. Is that what I have to do to get him to be good at the grocery store?? This picture is for you Mackenzie

Surgery update







It has been an interesting 2 weeks! I have been waited on hand and foot. It is so wierd. The first week I was really out of it and slept most of the time. Then the second week I was able to move around a little more and had a lot less pain. So I started taking less pain pills and I was more with it. And on tuesday I got to go to the doctor and take off my bandages to see what everything looked like under them. Yuck! I didn't know that I was going to have so many incisions. I have 8 on my right leg and 2 on my left. The doctor took all of the stiches out, gave me a boot and told me I could start walking! I am so scared to put some weight on it. My muscles are so tight and if feels so different. But I am excited to start walking. I walk around with a walker right now and it is pretty funny. I feel like an old person. But eventually I will get back to normal. I just wish that I could drive!! But I want to thank everybody that came and visited me and brought me yummy food and flowers. You are all so sweet!But I especially need to thank my mom and Colin. They have been doing all of the hard work and putting up with me and taking care of the kids 24/7. Colin has made all of Connor's school lunches and has gotten him to the bus on time everyday for school. I love you guys so much! I am going to post some pics of my legs if you can't stand stitches don't look! And my knees and legs are soooo swollen!!
