It had to happen sometime . . .

We had our first E.R. visit in 8 years of having kids. Knock on wood- I know! We count our blessings all the time:) & this could have been SO much worse. I hope this isn't the start of something though.

Em fell and hit the corner of her eye on some wood furniture. It only needed two stitches and if she had been a boy we might have let her have a little triangle scar. Adds character right? But since she is a little Princess that just won't do:) She was so brave and liked laying on the little E.R. table. And she was so proud of her Princess sticker and Princess band-aid. We get them taken out tomorrow so we'll see how that goes- I hear that part's not so fun.

On a side note, Greyson decided to eat these little air freshener waxie balls at church that he found on the floor in the Nursing Room the day after this happened to Em. I had to go to the bathroom so I left him by himself on the floor while I went right outside the door to the stalls. I heard him screaming and saw his mouth and hands full of the little balls so I searched for the container and found out what they were. I missed hearing Elder Nelson speak at our Stake Conference because I was busy freaking out that he might be poisoned and cleaning his mouth out the best I could. We went home and looked up the Website for these dumb things and it said they were toxic and to call your Dr. immediately. Well, we called Poison Control since it was Sunday and they told us that it was mostly just essential oils and his mouth may burn but he wasn't going to die. Relief! I think they would have called Child Protective Services on us if we ended up in the E.R. two days in a row:)

A New Post- Finally!

Whew- life is so busy these days! We just got back from our fun Phoenix/Grand Canyon trip- the weather was awesome and the girls loved swimming every day. I'm so glad I got to visit with my good friend from High School. Marcie S. is such an amazing person and I'm so proud of her life and what she has accomplished in it. She is such a good example to me:)The girls were impressed with the Grand Canyon at the first look off- after that- not so much. Anya put it best when she said, "It all looks the same- when are we going to see something new?"Slide Rock was THE big hit- it is about an hour or so south of the Grand Canyon and SO much fun. The girls want to really go back when it is hot enough to swim and not just wade. It is really beautiful there also.We also just celebrated Havie's 6th birthday yesterday! Thanks everyone for her fun presents! We (meaning Greg and his Dad and Brother:) have also been working every spare minute on our dining room/laundry room/bathroom project. It is coming along! They are sheet rocking right now and then comes the fun stuff- paint, new flooring and decorating:) Poor Greg- after it is all done he is moving right on to our sprinkler system since summer is looming near. Always on to the next project! He (& his Dad and Brother) definately deserve a break after that right? Probably won't happen though:)

We are now busy planning Oni's 8th birthday and BAPTISM! She is SO excited to get baptised up at the Spring. Also, we are going non-stop to Swim team and Tumbling and school events. This is always the busiest time at school and I can't believe there is only 2 1/2 months left of the school year. Really, where did it go???

AND- Baby Grey is almost 1 year old! Ughhh! It makes me so sad to think about. I thought I said he couldn't grow up too fast? Obviously he is not listening. Is anyone catching on to the trend of Springtime babies at our house? Yep- we like 'em born around Spring and Summer- luckily we pretty much get to choose the timing:) Greyson loves his bathtime and won't stay away from the faucet- gross I know:)
