Cast Day

Thursday July 8, 2010 we went to get Cadence's hard cast put on.

I was expecting crying... Not expecting the fight she put up.

An experience I don't wish to relive, and have since felt guilty for not taking

the option of going to a pediatric surgeon to have it set and casted. I was thinking

that would just be one more bill, and one more day off work (kinda of selfish)

LONG story short... Two casts and an hour later we have a *not so pretty* green cast!

But we do have a Healing arm and that is what is important

After our not so good day we needed to find something "fun" to do... So
We decided to walk down and find Bill and Donna's

Just what the "doctor" ordered
We Love Bill and Donna (and their horses)

Of course riding back is way funner than walking!

First we stopped and fed the fish..

Thankful for such wonderful neighbors!

And that Thursday is OVER!

Can't *slow* Me Down!

Day Two of Broken Arm: We went to the park!

And she's off..
She did everything (a little bit slower/different) she does with two good arms!
The fire pole..

The Slide...

Love that smile!

Cadie and Mommy
(I was much closer then normal though)

Teeter-totter with Levi (and Mommy of course)

She insisted... went across the monkey-bars

Curtis and Levi

This is however where Mommy said No!

She wanted to climb the rock-wall.. Maybe next time when we take Daddy, he is much stronger than I am =)

**

Today (Thursday) is the day we go and get our hard cast... pictures soon!
**

And of course I "had" to wash her hair...

She kinda like bathing in the sink!

Well at first by this time she was getting VERY fussy!!

What a Trooper =)

Our *first* Broken Bone

Just before getting home from work today, Cadence climbed into her bed (which she was successful in doing) It was the climbing out that was the problem....

After x-rays it was confirmed that Cadie had broken her arm ;(

It isn't broken all the way through but is more than just fractured. It is down towards her wrist.

Today they put a "soft" cast on to allow for swelling (which she HAS) and then

we will go back on Thursday at 11:15 for them to reset her wrist and put on her

"hard" cast! I wish I could say she was a "good little patient" however after her many many

ear infections and her recent ear tubes she has NO USE FOR THE DOCTORS OFFICE!
After an almost 3 hour *not so peacefully* nap she was in pretty good spirits!

Of Course Chips will make anyone smile!

Cadie is one *very loved* little girl!
Aunt Lanell, Abby and Allyson brought her over this huge balloon with m&m's in the bottom!
**
She drug in all over the house

A new Baby from Great-Grandma Winsor
(Brett told Cadie next time there are easier ways to get a new baby)

A frog pillow (to elevate her arm) from Aunt Kelly

Cadie showing off her balloon to Aunt Kristin and the boys

Then they used it as a bridge and took turns walking through it!

We then decided to go for a walk. Aunt Kristin, Levi, Cadie and I went for a walk.

(pushing Levi and Cadie in the double stroller, which they love)

Of course after a "wet-wipe" bath it was time to sample some of our candy!

**

Thanks to everyone for your prayers and love! I feel very blessed through all of the text and phone calls we have received! Thanks for loving my Little Cadence Lynn so very much!!

happy Independence day

other than a nasty head-ache and cadie really *disliking* the loud fireworks, we had a nice Independence day! always lots of food, family, frisbee and fun!!

Start of our LONG weekend

I already know that I take A LOT OF PICTURES =)

**

Last night we went to the South Y to watch Joshua, Noah, and Andrew play baseball

Curtis and I watched Joshua play with Pam and Lizzy
** Go Josh**
Crossing Home Plate

Brett and Cadence watched Noah and Andrew on another field

Andrew at catcher
**

Curtis just made himself at home

**Noah Batting**

I had to swipe a picture of Noah from Shelley's blog.. I was looking at pictures last night

and there was a child build just like Noah, but as I zoomed it in WAS NOT NOAH!

I asked Brett to come here, (me) "Brett does that look like Noah?"

Brett, (shaking his head) "No.. No it doesn't but they were all in

blue and looked alike!" ~ That would be my husband for you =)

While over watching Joshua play Curtis thew his black power ranger

up in the tree, and Pam and I couldn't find it..

So we sent in guys to look for it...

*and they found it*

I just thought this picture was cute =)
(minus the porta-potty, we all know how I am about bathrooms)

After the game we enjoyed diner out with the Martins and Bernings
*great start to our 4th weekend*

Ted and Curtis

Curtis, Noah, Andrew and Joshua

(Thanks for the pictures Shelley)

*more swimming*

What's taking everyone so long?!?!

Miss INDEPENDENT!!
He's such a *cute* kid =)
I am so glad that Kristin paid for Lucas to have swimming lesson so....

He can teach Curtis =)

Of course Curt doesn't quite look like Lucas does!

Swimming for safety!

Lucas has even taught him to swim on his back!

*best buddies*

(most of the time)
