Fwd:

Daddy takn older kids n kandons friend ethan on a ride. Kowen cant wait to grow 4 to 6 inches. Not sure if it will happen while we live here but we can hope and always stuff some toilet paper n buy thick shoes. Hee

Fun at the pioneer day party in alabama.

More fun at granny and paw paws.

A little wrestlibg with uncle bryan. All in good fun.

Yes this is the best pic of jill n granny.

Guess cant ask that they all look at the camera at once. Love the bouncy houses at kangaroos.

Fun in the sun.

Kids had fun tubing. A few head butts n a flip w kilee n kandon n kowen but all great. It was funny to see flip then panic to swim to boat not knowing we were turning n come to them. Ohh wish to give them more fun one day.

Loved having fun with kim and her family. All the kids wish that we lived in alabama and could have the fun that they do.

Loves to swim but hates to get the salt water in his mouth.

Love to dig n build but so hard to keep waves from destroying it.

Kilee and kandon tried to skim board but never quite got it.

Kids loved just stickn their hands in the sand and pulling up mollusk shells I guess. Those itty bitty shells that love to dig. The biting flies were too bad n ran us off twice. But guess we can say we got our beach in.

We enjoyed spending time with uncle daylyn and ezra. Teaching him early.

All bandaged up in the er and ready to go.

We sure enjoyed seeing family in alabama. It is always a drive but worth it. We could only squeeze in one week this year which made it harder. And kowen fracturing his elbow made swimming harder but we managed.

We went to kings island for one last trip. We thought only the water rides would be a problem but found out that no full arm casts allowed bc they want them to be able to race. Poor guy wanted to ride the beadt but he didnt stay far away while I adked lady n she saw him. I sent daddy to car to get his sweater n he was able to hide n ride a few rides but darn if the same lady was at the beast later n remembered him. Mommy was of course prego n too nausious to do much but I managed the day. Tough boy but cant wait to get it off.

Kowen fractured his radius near the elbow while we were on vacation in alabama. We went to the same skating rink I use to skate at and it was quite weird. Daylyn's family and my friend kim's family came. He made it through skating with no big injuries but asked permission to race around the rink barefoot like they had earlier and I said yes. He got thrown when he grabbed a kids shirt and landed on his elbow. It was after 9pm so I took him home and hoped he was fine. Nope he whined all night so I took him in to the er. They originally said no but then came back to say possibly. They wrapped a temporary cast on and we left . Later we hit the beach twice with a trash bag taped on. It got wet the second time so we just took it off n threw in the drier. Sweet. No one would put a swimming cast on so we had to survive. Its ok. Mommy found out she was prego so no swimming anyways. So after a
week of a temporary n more xrays he got a cast for 3 weeks. When he got it off they padded the bottom section n told him he should probably wear it during p.e. n recess bc he was so active. I sent him the first day n he took it off n never wore again. Luckily nothing happened n he was cleared. My crazy boy. Hopefully it wont happen again but with his level of activity I doubt it.

Here is where we got a dozen free donuts for dressing like a pirate. We have to remember this day. It is the only time we get krispy kreme. I didnt even know there was one close. Walked in said argh n walked out bc mommy nausious. Yet I popped a donut quickly in my mouth to see if it would help. Thanks to kilees friend bailey for going with us and we saw members from church there. Sweet treats.

A lovely present from hubby. Not sure how many games it will still fit but nice that he bought the large.
