I Don't Want to Die!!!

So I am texting my son Tuesday afternoon irritated that he hasn't texted or called me when I finally get a text saying, "Sorry mom could talk saving my friend right now." I went "What?" When it was all through and Facebook had photos up of the situation before I knew it. I learned that Casin saved the day!
He told me that they were playing basketball in Connors driveway. His garage has windows on the door and Connor leaned up against it putting his hand on the window to bend over to get the ball from under the car. His arm fell through the window he lost his balance and it went in then out Everyone was laughing until he turned around and said something is wrong. That is when they saw blood spurting from his arm. Casin ran over to Connor and immediately put pressure on his arm and told him to lay down and yelled Call 911. He told us he was calm through the whole thing and that he wasn't freaked out. He said I just remembered what I was taught and kept pressure on his arm until help arrived. Connor cut through one of his arteries on his arm. He lost a ton of blood within the first minute that his arm was cut. Casin said he had never seen so much blood. He said all his friends said, "Let Casin take charge he does scouts he knows what to do. " Casin said his friends have always teased him about doing scouts but after this episode. he said I don't think they are going to tease me anymore since I was the only one who knew what to do. Bless his friend, Casin said when this was all happening, Connor said, "I don't want to die." Casin kept him calm and took charge. We are so proud!

Casin- Finally through with Soccer and is now a free boy to go and make money!
Savannah- Softball
Carson- Soccer
Skyler - Baseball, soccer gymnastics.

My week consist of ;
Monday: Soccer /Softball
Tuesday: Soccer / Baseball / Softball
Wednesday: Gymnastic
Thursday: Soccer, Soccer, Softball
Friday: Soccer
Saturday: Soccer, Soccer, Baseball
Sunday: Big Nap day

By time the end of May hits, I am gamed out and we do NOTHING during the summer that involves organization. This is the time I recover from the whole year. I ask myself why as I am living in my car and driving,driving and more driving? The reasons are, Casin, Savannah, Carson, Skyler. I LOVE going and watching my kids play. It is a joy to sit in the stands and cheer them and their team on whether they win or lose we don't care as long as they are having FUN!

Lost My First Tooth




Dad finally pulled my first tooth out. Skyler went to the dentist and discovered that a new tooth was breaking through. He didn't cry he only grunted and didn't want to swallow at all. We put the tooth under the pillow and explained to Skyler about the tooth fairy and how he would leave money for his tooth. Sunday Morning arrives and I hear a yell. I run into to his room to see a child so sad. ""Mom my tooth is still here!" Oops someone forgot! I explained to him that the tooth fairy must of heard me tell him that I wish I had my camera to take his picture so he didn't get it so I could take a picture of his tooth before he collected it. I told him I bet he will come while we are at church. Sure enough an excited Skyler came to tell me his tooth was now a dollar. Whew!
