This is what welcomed me in the ER
July 20th when I took my son to the ER
for the 4th time with a collar bone break.
I thought for sure CPS was coming to my home
my story on how all four breaks happened didn't match
up with Carson's. We were asked twice. I had sequence order
wrong with break #1 and #2. # breaks # breaks on the right and one
one the left. One year ago this month we were in the ER
x-raying the left arm with the exact break.
This kid plays too hard!
Carson wearing a big grin with
his sling on his broken collar bone.
He has worn one so often he has learned
how to adapt to one arm and playing, skateboarding
swimming. NUTS!
He will only swim with goggles.
Eli and Skyler best friends since they were 8 months old. Eli's mom
and I decided that they were twins in heaven but Heavenly Father
knew neither of us could of handled twins so they sent us one each and
found each other 8 months later.
waiting for his turn to swim. They used to let them
race to the teacher until Skyler decided that since he was losing
he would body slam the one that was winning.Oops. That's my boy
very competitive. MMMH wonder where that comes from? :)
Skyler's favorite part of swimming lessons is the slide.
The teachers laugh at how fast he flies out of the slide.
He has learned how to lay flat hands to the side causes him
to fly out like a torpedo. They all miss him when he comes out
because he is going so fast. He LOVES it.
Eli on the other hand holds his hands on the slide
all the way down to the point he is barely moving. He gets
to the end teases the instructor's by splashing them then he crawls out.
Walking down to the entrace of the cave
It smells really bad from Bat poop. Every night
they have a bat show at dusk when all the bats
that live in the cave come flying out at night to feed.
FREAKY!
750 feet down.

Walking to the bottom of the cave.
Weird Stuff
The very bottom of the cave is a room the size
of 7 football fields. It was huge.
It rained really hard this morning and casin got to
come home from his job. He works at "Extreme Clean" car wash.
He was excited to have the day off so he and some buds decided to
go mudding. This is when he got home and had scraped mud off the
truck to see to drive home. Good thing he has perks at the car wash
We had a slow start to Skyler learning how to ride
a bike. This was the year to finally do it. Carson helped
him learn how to start and stop. Skyler is so proud of himself.
We have made it a tradition to go camping over the fourth.
About 6 families get together to go camping on the annual trip to Sloan Ranch.
We swim, fish and hike. The kids love to snorkel to see intresting fish.
The kids love this vacation. It's something we look forward to each year.
swimming the the deeper area
Savannah and Arie looking for fish
Pappa taking a nap in the river in the Rock area.
The water was just deep enough to relax but flowing
enough to keep the water cold. This is the life isn't it?
Skyler with Katherine and Saddie
Haning out in the River in the Rocks. Ahh the water
feels great when the temp is 101*
Trevor swinging out on the rope swing
Jason and Cavin waiting for diinner talking about the
fish they didn't get today.
Kassie, Shelly and Katherine riding off to go
and take a bath in the river. Ahh the joys of
camping "true" nature style. Won't tell you
about the toliets because there are NONE. Yeah thats
another story for another time.
Our friend's dog was a hit with the kids at Sloan Ranch.Saddie really liked Carson.
The Three Amigos. Skylers buddies the twins Caleb and Corbin
When we fish in texas, we do it the "Man" way. We connect a
spear to a stick and spear the fish.
Mmmmm-Dinner? Vanessa was our fisherwoman
this year. She caught the biggest fish. 2 of these catfish.
