that freaky lady scared the crap out of us! well mostly mackenzie












WOW! Mackenzie and I went to the Britney concert on tuesday and it was awesome! We have been waiting for this since the first of December. We bought our tickets right when they went on sale and Mackenzie got us the BEST seats. They were perfect. So we got all dressed up and went out to CPK for dinner and were kind of worried we were going to be late for the concert because it was packed. But we weaseled our way into a seat and scarfed our food. We took a lot of pictures and had such a blast. Britney knows how to put on a good show. I loved it. YAY! thanks Mack, I am so glad that we went together. Here are some pics of our crazy night!

Easter

We had fun Easter. We had a bbq at my sister's new house, colored eggs, and went to church in our new outfits. Brennan and Connor were so cute. Last week we went to a cookie decorating part at Brandon and Stacey's house, they loved that. Especially all of the sprinkles. I hope everyone had a fun easter too!

We had a playdate a week ago at Jungle gyms and it was fun! I took some really cute pics of the kids. But warning to all of the moms who get on the little roller coaster! It was pretty intense. We had no idea what we were getting ourselves into. But girls we have to go again, Brennan loved it!

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

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!!

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!
