Broken arm for Cade

It has been a crazy few weeks so I am a bit behind but I can't forget to blog about Cade's broken arm. Last Tues we were at Riverdale park with cousins just enjoying some lunch and letting the kids play. We had been there an hour or so and apparently the kids were playing jail and Cade did not want to play anymore so he decided to go on the slide instead. His cute little cousin wanted him to still play so he came to get Cade from the top of the slide and tried to get him to put him into jail and it threw Cade off balance and he fell from the top of an 8 foot slide. I heard screaming and my sister ran over and scooped Cade up and his arm was just totally bent and hanging there. I seriously thought I was going to throw up when I saw his arm. I am no Dr. but for sure I knew it was broken. So off we rush to the emergency room. He is a tough kid. For the amount of pain he was in he didn't cry very much at all. The x-rays showed both bones in his arm were broken. They called the orthopedist to come and put the bones back into place. So they knocked Cade totally out and put the bones back together and casted him up (I left the room for this part but Aaron stayed with him). 4 hours later we were finally back home. Cade had a few rough days after that but now he is feeling back to normal. We go back to the Dr. tomorrow to see if he will need surgery but we are hoping that everything has stayed in place to we can avoid surgery. Cade sure felt pretty special after all of this. He got lots of treats, money, toys, and phone calls. He thought it was pretty cool that everyone cared so much. He is also excited for when people will be able to sign his cast.

Cal's 3rd B-day

So on July 20th Cal turned 3!! My how the time has flown by. For his b-day he really wanted to go camping so the weekend before his b-day we headed to the uintah's for a few days of outdoor fun. As most of you know I am not a big camper but we did have a trailor to sleep in that had a flushable toilet and hot showers. So I could not complain too much. We really had a good time. The boys were in heaven just running around, fishing, and taking rides on the ranger and 4-wheeler.

On this actual b-day he woke up and opened his presents (all he wanted was ben 10 guys) then he wanted to eat at the mall for lunch and later that evening we had a party at the splash pad in South Ogden with family. He had a great b-day.

Cal is such a crazy kid. He has so much spunk. Dude could go all day just running around like a mad man. I thought Cade was crazy but Cal is 10 times crazier than Cade was. He is so sassy. His favorite saying is "guess what" and you say what and then he says"chicken poo." It is so funny. If he does not get his way or if you have just done something to make him mad you will for sure be called a meanie dork and he will most likely hit you as well. He does have a loving side also. Most mornings he wakes up before I do and he will come in my room with the biggest smile and say "good morning sunshine" and always has a hug and kiss to go with it. We just love how much personality Cal has. He has made our lives so much fun. We love our little Cal dearly!!
