One wild and crazy week!!!






We have had one of the craziest weeks ever. Tuesday afternoon we had just gotten back from picking up Daxton from school. All the kids were outside playing. I was in the house on the computer when all of a sudden I heard a horrible scream from Gehrig. I knew the scream, it was not going to be good. I ran outside to find Gehrig walking around the corner with blood all down his face. As I got closer to him I saw his skull. He had hit his head on the sender block wall down the side of our house riding his scooter. I had no idea what to do there was blood everywhere. So I called 911, hung up called Ryan and Tammy to have her come get the other kids. The EMT's and Fireman came and wrapped his head up. Then I took him to the ER for the second time. Last time he got staples in the back of his head. This child is my accident one. We sat in the ER for about 4 hours. While we were waiting for the Doctor, I took a picture of the huge hole on his forehead with my phone to show him and the first thing out of his mouth is "wow". Needless to say he thought it was pretty cool. I will spare you all and not show you those pictures. I still get the shivers when I see the picture. When it came time to do the stitches he was such a trooper. They gave him shoots in the wound to numb it. He did not even move and flinch. The doctor and nurse were so impressed with him. So was I. This kid can handle anything!!!

I had planned for a long time to decorate Ryan's room at school for Valentines Day. He had his last Basketball game of the year on Thursday. So my mom came with us to the game, and afterwards we acted like we were going home, but stayed and decorated his room. The kids had a great time drawing on the board. We hung streamers and got some candy and I made him this cake. He was so excited and totally surprise. This man is very hard to surprise. Thanks to my mom we were able to execute it.

Next to add to the week, we had Gehrig's 5 year birthday party on Monday. He wanted a Star Wars party. Of course. So Ryan and I made him a R2-D2 cake. It was quite a chore. But very fun. Gehrig was so happy. Although, he wanted it to fly. I told him that I am not sure that I can make that happen. I have pictures of the party but my camera is acting up so I will put those on soon. Happy Birthday Gehrig !!! We Love You!!!

Poor Gehrig and Poor Mom- I think I might have passed out and gone into shock- I hope that never happens to one of my kids!!! I'm glad everything is O.K.- what a little trooper!! That is quite the gash!

The heart cake- I can believe, that takes some mad skills (which I don't have a ounce of) but you have them- little Miss Martha!
