Fabric Flowers!

We got this idea from my cousin, Laura, when we went to Logan of making fabric flowers. You can put them in your hair, on necklaces, or just for decorating things! We are using these ones for our hair. The CUTE fabric was left over from some aprons my mom made.
I love these--I think they are the cutest accessory!
I did a close up of this one so you could see the types of cute brads we had in the middle. They matched perfectly, and were adorable!

Ethan in the hospital

At Ethan's follow up appointment the x-rays showed that his bone shifted out of place. The Dr. decided he needed to have surgery that very day to put the bone back in place and have pins inserted to hold it in place while it healed. Ethan's biggest concern about surgery was the fact he couldn't eat or drink anything beforehand. He fasted from 8a until his surgery at 3:15p. I picked him up from school at lunchtime so he wouldn't have to sit and watch all his friends eat! We waited for quite a while in pre-op. First in his street clothes, then in the nifty gown they gave him. He made himself at home in the hospital bed!


After the surgery, which lasted about 30 minutes, Ethan was very drowsy and took a while coming out of recovery and the anesthesia. He kept falling back to sleep!

Finally, I put him back in his clothes while he was half asleep and we got him into the wheelchair and it was time for us to go. We didn't leave until about 6:30p. after having to check in at the hospital at 1:30p. It was a long afternoon! Luckily, the surgery went perfectly. He has two pins in his bones, underneath the cast.

(This writing was by my mom, because I didn't know all the 'details' of the surgery. Sorry the pictures are not in order, I could NOT figure it out!)

Paint Job

My parents finally got around to painting my room! Just kidding... :) I have had this vinyl saying for the longest time, and we bought the little polka dots and butterflies at Hobby Lobby in Logan with Laura and Sherri. We did 2 walls pink and 2 walls chocolate brown. I love it so much, and my parents did awesome! :)
This is my dad carefully painting the wall next to the ceiling...

Look at that concentrated look on her face...

Alexis' Tennis Tournament

These were the 1st place medals we got.
After the match..
My doubles partner and I. CHAMPIONS!
This is me going for a backhand shot.
I have been playing tennis at my school, and I made the "A" team. My doubles partner and I went to the Tennis Tournament on May 8, 2010, and got 1st place out of all of the Treaure Valley! There was a lot of waiting around because South had a lot of byes since we are up at the top in a lot of events. Finally, Morgan (my partner) and I played Syringa, and won 6-0. Then, we played Vallivue and won 6-2. Then, we were finally in the championship with Lonestar. We played for the LONGEST time and I was so nervous! Finally, it got to 6-6, so we had to do a tiebreaker, which was first team to 5 points. I was so nervous--my hands were shaking like crazy! We played and won the 5 points, giving us first place! It was very fun!

Lauren's 9th Birthday!


Lauren's birthday was April 7, 2010, and she turned 9! Sorry these pictures are really late... This is her blowing out her candles.
Taking the first bite of her Key Lime Pie! She picked this for her dessert all on her own, and I think dad was really happy about that!
