broken arm

Jared broke his arm Monday. I got a call right after I got to work(one of the few days I don't mind working cause its time and a half) and its Ben telling me to come home so he can take jared to the er. Jared jumped or feel off the pic-nic table. Not quit sure on that one.I raced home and as soon as I saw the arm I knew it was bad! He was crying and didn't want to move so Ben cared him. Thank heaven Ben was there cause I wouldn't have been able to handle that for very long. I stayed with the rest of the kids and tryed to explain everything. I Fed them and got everything picked up and everyone ready for bed. Then Ben calls and tells me he has to have surgery! I got a little freaked out. Corey had taken a late nap so he did not want to go to bed. I didn't get up to the hospital til after the surgery was done. He was doing good and wanted to know if I had saved him brats from our dinner! That's my Jared. His x-ray showed that he almost completely twisted his writ around and came close to having the bone come though the skin. Yuck! IT was a long night but we did get to take him home a little after midnight. He was sore today but he has been doing great for all hes been though! He cant go back to school til he sees the doctor again this week.

memorial day

Memorial day weekend started off normal. I wanted to get some things done around the house and. I had started out wanting to redo the kitchen counter tops and after talking to my dad I was having second thoughts so Ben said lets rip out the carpet! I have been wanting to do that for so long. So Sunday after church we started and got all the carpet and staples out. Monday we rented a sander and got to work! We have got half the floor stained and the finish on. Now we just have to wait for it to dry completely and then we can move the piano and couch and do the other half. Maybe it will be done this weekend. But it already looks so much better!
