NELLIE

As if the month has not been bad enough to top it all off my cat got hit by a car. We had to put her down because it paralyzed her back end :( I have been sobbing non stop and so have my kids.

I am grateful that someone told me because I was busy canning applesauce and my poor cat would have been out there suffering all day without me knowing.

My neighbor brought me these flowers she feels so terrible about it too. I know it was just an accident and that is a risk you take when you let cats outside.

I hope that I will have the strength to get through the next few weeks. I am so wiped out.

I am so grateful for the neighbor who helped me with this because I dont know what I would have done.

Primary Childrens

Here is Mason in the ER at Primary children's before they admitted him over night. Can I just say SCARY! It felt like deja vu, we have done this all with Braxton. The hospital was amazing. I love how they cater just to kids.
Mason went in because he was wheezing and his chest was retracting very bad! Meaning he couldn't breathe. It was explained to me like drinking out of a regular straw versus a coffee straw. The poor boy just was not able to get any air into his lungs. I am grateful we were able to get it under control and only had to stay for one night.
I am so grateful for all of the wonderful family I have that stepped up to the plate and helped out with the kids while we were in the hospital.

FIVE

Braxton's birthday treats for the class. There was a punch balloon, pencil, m&m's, and a coupon for a free pace bar.

Braxton opening gifts.

Braxton turned 5!! I can't believe it. I just took a few pictures of him opening his gifts from Kris and I. I'm still waiting for Kris's mom to give me the disc of the pictures from dinner and golfing and his bday party with the family. Kris and I gave him the cars mega blocks. Huge hit! They are so much easier to put together than the lego toys. ( sorry about the vacum in the background)

Acorns for Sale

My Braxton is the sweetest little man. He is also a very hard worker. A few weeks ago, Braxton helped my dad out in his yard by picking up bags of acorns from the oak tree. Well, my dad paid Braxton for picking them up and this gave Braxton an idea. He said " Mom, I'm going to sell all of these acorns so dad doesn't have to work anymore." ( This was after Kris's accident of course)
I told him " I don't think anyone will buy the acorns Braxton, but we will try." Well, a missonary stopped and gave Braxton a dollar but other than that he didn't sell any. What a sweetheart! I hope his attitude about hard work never changes.

Sleepyheads

My kids have been falling asleep in the strangest places. I sure do love them, especially when they are asleep.
