I haven't had a computer in a long time so I am way behind!! I'll just start with Labor Day and go from there. Things have been insane around our house!! For the Labor Day weekend we went camping in Leadore with my family. Clansy (my little brother) wanted to do that for his last family outing before he leaves. It was as good as camping can be!! We stayed for two nights, luckily Derek got us a hook up to a camper so life was a little better. We went Saturday morning and stayed till Monday. We went to church there smelling like smoke and looking like we had just come from our tents!! It was a lot of fun for the most part, not so much for Derek though. Derek and Clansy decided that they should go cliff jumping one last time before Clansy leaves. So that Wednesday before they went to Ririe and found the biggest cliff there of course!! They both jumped off, everything was fine, and then some more friends came and they had to show them how much fun it was so Derek went again. Second time, not so fun!! Derek BROKE HIS BACK!!!! He climbed back up the cliff and told me that his back hurt. I didn't think much of it because he had just climbed up the cliff! When we got home he collapsed and I knew he was hurt. That next morning we took him in to have X-Rays and he broke one of his vertebrae. He is seeing a specialist and they are watching how it heals. He has another appointment on Tuesday and we will see if it's healing ok on it's own or if he is going to be put in a turtle shell!! So camping was miserable for Derek but he was a good sport!!
On Sunday Kannon got bucked off his pony at Grandmas house! Just a few scrapes and bruises, but he says he'll just ride the other one next time. He has thrown up over 30 times tonight NO JOKE!! He is so sick with something! I feel so sad for him but he is a trooper! He also got POTTY TRAINED at the beginning of the week and he has only had 1 accident!
Karter is getting his two top teeth in right now and I'm just waiting for him to start puking with Kannon!
And I'm just trying to stay sane! That gets us caught up to current.
My brother leaves on his mission on Wednesday (the 23rd) I'm already missing him so much! He is going to be awesome! His farewell is on Sunday and then he's gone! I don't know what I'm going to do when my boys go, I can't stop crying with Clansy and he's not even my child!
Any way this is a boring post I'm sure, I just needed to get all our happenings down! And just because, here's Clans with the boys and Maylee right before he's out of here! We are going to miss him so much!
