August 30, 2013

So after Lance was finished "counting peaches" in our tree behind the house he jumped backyards out of the tree only to impale himself on a T-post sticking out by the tree.

An ambulance ride later, surgery, a night in the hospital, 4 weeks on crutches, many stitches, and many prayers later he is starting physical therapy and hoping for a full recovery.

This is a picture a couple days after surgery. I had to dress the wound for a week. It wasn't pleasant.

This is what Lance saw after he slid off the pole and looked back.

His thought was , "Oh no...I'm in trouble."

It was a miracle he didn't sever an artery or break his femur.

He severed 2 hamstrings in his left leg.

This is the tree...and that bend pole is how much his weight bent it down.

Utah State Fair... with Grammie.

I didn't get a picture of the all you can eat ice cream tent because well...

I was stuffing my face.

Beth's 8th Birthday.

It's GREAT TO BE EIGHT!!

Beth's Baptism

It was such a lovely day. 

It was a stake baptism so she shared the service with 4 of her classmates and friends.

They sang a beautiful musical number.

Uncle Ian gave a talk on the Holt Ghost and Poppy gave the opening prayer.

Afterwards we had a luncheon at our house and then my parents, myself, and Liv went on a bike ride.

The Ferrell's

Beth's awesome primary teachers.

August 2013

What would the summer be without a little...or a LOT... of Lagoon.

After all... that's what FUN is :)

More of cute baby Phebie...

The Davis County Fair

Llama face.....

For our camping trip this year we went with my family to Island Park, ID.

We stayed in a cabin for a week and fished, hiked, went to Yellowstone a couple of times, and floated the river.
