Doctor, xray and boo-boo's

What a day.... Tuesday we had a long list of things to do. As we were walking out of our house to get Annaka in her car seat the door to our house and the garage slammed on Annaka's finger.

It happened so fast that I could hardly help her, lukily it was only one finger and not more.

She had a bad cut and I just couldn't decide it would need stitches or not so off we went to the doctor. Poor Annaka was scared and it was bleeding pretty bad, but she was a trooper. They got us right in at the clinic and cleaned it out with saline. She had to have xray's done because her nail was already coming off so they were afraid it could be fractured. She haded every second of it, I have never heard her cry so loud! She wanted nothing to do with the lead apron they put on her and I. The radiologist had to go get help just to help me hold her down. When we walked out of the room Ally and Andrew asked what was happening to her because she was so loud.

No fracture though. But it was decided that she would need a couple stitches to keep it closed. They gave me some numming medicine to put on her finger and we held it there for 30 minutes. Then the time came.. Ally and Andrew were asked to wait in the waiting room and we started the stitches. Personally I don't think the medicine helped one bit because she was screaming so loud and to me it felt like she was in a lot of pain. But she made it and 2 stitches later and a million stickers we were done!

Its been 5 days and she is doing good, she will not let that finger be with out a band aid though at any time! Her nail is a pretty purple, and will probalby fall off eventually. If you ask her about it she will tell you "doctor" and "boo-boo"

Her are some pictures of her when we got home that day.

Ponytails and smiles!!

She is growing up so fast!

I was talking to my friend Kimberly, and next year she will be Annaka's preschool teacher. It goes fast when you miss that first year of their life. She does so many funny things. Her favorites are Dora and Diego, reading books, watering the flowers with mommy, going to the pool, playing with her best friend Laney and lots of other little things we do everyday. Her memory amazes me sometimes, she says things that we have told her weeks before and blows us away. School starts in 2 weeks and I have to say I am looking a little forward to it because it will give us back our 1:1 time together. Then I can start posting more pictures of her.

Here it is

June 24th, Taking a walk at our neighbors land

I wanted to get some pictures of Annaka in this dress, it is so darn cute. I am lucky this summer she likes to wear hats! I asked Annaka where she came from the other night ( which I thought was China) and she told me "Judy's" She is so funny now, she says so many words now in a sentence it cracks up so much . She likes to grab our hands and say, "Lets Go" and leads us to where she wants to play. We have been swimming 2 times now and she really loves to be in water, she has a bucket that she plays with trying to fill it up and then pour it down the back of my swimsuit.

All I thought I would take is a nice picture of the kids...

These are from last year. Look how short her hair is!! I tried to take some pictures of them last night and this is what i ended up with....

Going for a Cowgirl ride!

Spring Walks, Easter Eggs, First Communion and Easter Egg Hunts in a Pole Shed

Thursday we went on a walk to enjoy the weather before the snow came. I think we saw every neighbor out walking that evening.
Alyssa had her first communion on Easter, her good friend Gretchen was there looking all pretty so I snapped a couple pictures of the two of them.
Our Easter Egg Hunt was moved from outside to inside this year. Scott's sister's family does a great job at putting on a Easter egg hunt for the kids. Besides hunting eggs with nickles and pennies in it, they each get one egg with there names on it to hunt for plus a basket for each of them. It was interesting watching them hunt for it in Tim's pole shed.
Annaka had to have one last sugar high Mr. Bunny when she got home tonight..
