The story of purple leg

Once upon a time there was a beautiful little girl by the name of Makayla. One day she was playing at her aunt's house. She and her sister love their cousins and sleep over there a lot. Well on this particular morning when their mother was on the way to pick them up after another fun filled sleep over something happened. While Makayla was playing on her aunt's trampoline she had an accident. We don't know how nor when but she hurt her leg. After many tedious hours of doctors and x-rays the beautiful little princess was finally told she would have to have a purple leg for a month so she could walk again. Her beautiful leg has a buckle fracture under her right knee where her tibia meets the socket. The cast extends from hip to toe. She has had the cast for almost two weeks and has to have the cast until July 6th. I may have over reacted for the first week and still make Heather feel like crap every time she sees Makayla but my theory is she should be watching the kids outside. Oh well. Here is my Makayla, crazy as ever! And believe me, it only slowed her down the first day.

If you are having a bad day take a look at this

Go ahead. Try not to smile at my cute little man!

Game Over

No explanation needed!

All for the love

Over two years ago a good friend of mine, Emily, her mother was diagnosed with breast cancer. While going through chemotherapy her family did a shaving party. While I was not about to shave my head I did start to think about something I could do to contribute. I decided to start growing out my hair to donate to Locks of Love.

Before: Hair down to there (I'm still kicking myself for not taking a pic right before)

After:

I am glad to report that her mother is doing well and the cancer is in remission.

In a blink of an eye

Happy 1st Month!!

Introducing my little man

Evan Craig Thompson. Leah picked the name. I believe she was inspired. The best part is she told my father in law and sister in law what she was going to name him before she said anything to Craig or myself. Evan was born on Friday April 3, 2009 at 2:30 p.m. He weighed 7lbs 7.5 oz (which was a whole pound larger than my girls with an epidural that did not work so ouch!) and was 21.5 inches long. He is my big boy and we are all excited to have him here!! Here he is.

Minutes old while the nurses did thier thing and yes he has already been made fun of because of his chicken legs and giant, non-newborn feet!

After the nurses did their thing.

Meeting his big sister for the first time. Leah is in love!!

The men of my life!!

Oh Mamma!

This past Thursday my mom-in-law, sis-in-law and myself went to see Mamma Mia!! It was soooo much fun!! If you haven't seen it go rent the movie. Not as spectacular but still a lot of fun! We had been planning this since last August and we had been hoping and praying that I would be able to go! We sat 4 rows from the orchestra pit. Jolene, my mother-in-law, had to take out her hearing aid because it was so loud. Her favorite part was watching the conductor. He was a fifty something year old man jamming out to the songs of ABBA! It was so funny watching him sing and dance along with the actors. My favorite part was the costumes!! AMAZING!!
I've decided that Craig and I are going to dress up as Donna and Sam from Mamma Mia for Halloween. I just have to convince him!
