I knew he would be the first!

Of all my sweet boys...I knew Brett would be the first in the ER for stitches! If finally happened this morning, and he was really brave! I had walked upstairs to wash my face for the day and the boys were watching a show after breakfast. About 3 minutes after walking upstairs I hear the thud and screaming. I knew he was really hurt cause they all have that serious cry! I that it was just going to be another big lip but I turn the corner to see blood just flowing out of his chin. I get a hand towel for the blood, since, it was a lot! Then I realized I didn't know where to take him. We haven't needed urgent care. So I found a couple places in town but they weren't open yet. That irritated me! So I got everyone in the car and found the nearest hospital on my GPS. I have to say thanks to Danny for letting me have that in my car since we've moved here! It's been great! So we found it, he was great and I got him ice cream afterward.

This was the finished product!

This is the numbing liquid they put on before the shot. So he wouldn't feel the shot so bad!

Thought I'd post

Since we have been back from the cruise, it has been full speed ahead. Isaak has wanted to take piano lessons for years. So we told him after we got back he could start. We just had to have something for him to practice on at home. And we don't have a lot of money to spend. Well, we thought we were doomed. We had looked on the internet and craigslist and we just didn't find anything good in our price range. There would be a good priced keyboard but wouldn't include the stand. So we were walking through our little town and came across Shamrock Music store. We saw some keyboards in the window and thought it wouldn't hurt to ask. So we went in, also because of all the Wimpy kid merchandise and Isaak was begging. Isaak has read all 4 Wimpy kid books. After going in to this massive little store. What I mean by that is they sell musical instruments, and this one little space is FULL. Somehow, we got to talk to the owner and he found out the price for the keyboard and stand was just over $100 bucks. This keyboard is nice too. I has 50 something keys and it lots of buttons for different things as well. My favorite part is that it really sounds like a piano, not electrical!

While we were there the owners mom came out. She works there. She saw Isaak looking at the Wimpy kid stuff and came over to talk. When she found out what a huge fan he is and that he has read all the books and is waiting for the next one, she said she wanted to tell him something. He said, what, and she said the the man who writes these books is my son! We were excited! Turns out Kenny's (Greg) older brother Scott (Rodrick) owns the store and his parents help out! They had pre-ordered some of the new books and are having a signing there for the people who ordered those books. So it gets better. The mom was about to be starting a 13 week music class for little kids. We were looking for something for Brett to do and he said he wanted to! Now Wednesday is our music class day. Last week, both the boys had their first class. Isaak goes to a girl in one of the wards here to learn piano and Brett goes to the music store and has his! They love it and we couldn't be happier. Brett is determined to play the drums...oh boy. But for now I am enjoying them both being so happy with their lessons!

Back from Cruisin'

So our cruise was, hands down, the best vacation we've ever had! We got to see new places, meet new people, and just have fun! We are now officially cruisers! We want to go more and more! We hope to take the kids on a fun one some day and we want to go see the east side of the Caribbean. So we would have to go in April or May before the hurricanes got there! But we enjoyed Cozumel, Belize, Ilse of Roatan, and Costa Maya. Here are the pix!
