The Cabin...

My parents are selling the cabin, and it is so sad!!  It has made so many amazing memories for Bruce and I..  We went up there countless times with my family before we got married, spent our honeymoon up there, I think we spent like 5 new years eves up there by ourselves just enjoying a little get away.. family reunions, playing in the snow, quad riding, endless game nights, eating out, moms yummy breakfasts, naps, relaxing, sitting on the porch, walks, spot lighting, bearizona, Williams deer farm, "the place" for breakfast, el capitan, la fonda's.. you name it and it was done up there.  It makes me so sad that I am not there to help pack, and say goodbye.. but at the same time I am almost grateful because since I didn't pack it up I can kinda convince myself that they never sold it.. and we just decided to stop going up there so much :) Thank you mom and dad for providing a place for us to make so many amazing memories over the years!   Here are some random pictures over the years..

beach, park, and a bunch of randomness!

We have been having a lot of fun lately.. haha well as much fun as we can!  Bristyn is 100% obsessed with the park, so we try to go every couple days.. and Bo loves sitting outside and watching people, or swinging.  And then of course we go to the beach as much as we can.  This last time Bo wasn't a fan because he had his wrap on... poor kid hates that thing!  Bath time is a wonderful time lately because he gets to take his wrap off.  I swear the second he realizes I am taking it off its party city, and the second he realizes I am putting it back on its scream/wiggle city.  Poor guy!  He is getting around super good, I think he is going to forget how to crawl, and just scoot everywhere..  and he is getting way better at standing with one arm. It has been so hard, my perfect baby has become a fussy baby.. he gets so frustrated that he cant do what he could do before and wants to be held constantly.. it makes for a super tired mama come bedtime! He has a follow up Dr. appointment tomorrow, so hopefully things are healing and all is good!  I just love these two so much, and I am so grateful to be their mom!!!

Bo broke his collarbone :(

Our sweet baby broke his collar bone, and it just makes me so sad.  On 7/17 he was playing on the couch with Bruce and I..  I got up to do the dishes, and Bruce got up a couple minutes later and forgot to put him on the ground and he fell.  It was a complete accident, and he cried for a long time.. but was fine..  I put him down for a nap, and I could tell he was in pain because he cried out a few times.. so when he woke up I started checking him over, and realized he could not crawl.. or put pressure on his right arm.  As I kept looking I noticed he had a light bruise and a bump on his shoulder between his neck and shoulder blade.  I called Bruce and told him I just felt like I needed to take him in, so off to the emergency room we went.  Lucky my friend Bekah watched Bristyn, and I was able to just take Bo by myself because Bruce was working 1 1/2 hours away.  After sitting in the waiting room for an hour (I don't know why it took that long because it wasn't busy at all) we finally got in, and immediately the Dr. said she thought he broke his collar bone.  After a x-ray that just about killed me because he was crying and hated it so bad, and another wait.. we got the verdict.. he broke his right clavicle.  Words cannot describe how I felt, I kept strong at the hospital and right when we got in the car I just broke down.  My poor baby broke his collar bone, and I couldn't help but think it was somehow my fault.  We took him to an orthopedic Dr. yesterday and they wrapped him up so he can't move his arm, and told me he has to wear that for 3 weeks, and it can only come off during his bath.  We have an appointment in 2 weeks to make sure its healing properly.  I know accidents happen, but it just kills me that it had to happen to my sweet baby that is obsessed with pulling himself up on things, and crawling.. and now he can't do either!  Hopefully the next couple weeks go by quick..  He is doing surprisingly good.. I haven't had to give him tylenol since we wrapped his arm..  and he is learning to get around.. somewhat.  We went and bought him a walker, but he gets sick of it after awhile..  The bruise and bump looks better than it did yesterday, so I hope this is a sign it will be a quick recovery!!  North Carolina has not been good to my sweet Bo :)  Good thing he is tough!!
