I Got It...

the dreaded phone call from your child's school. "Carly, I have Jenna here in the office, she fell off the monkey bars, and her arm doesn't look so good". Luckily it was Tuesday, my only somewhat "free" day and I had just gotten back into Bountiful from my test at school. They said she was being very brave and not crying. Then when I got there she saw me and she lost it. So sad....

On the way to the Dr. to get an x-ray.

This is what it looked like, not extreme, but pretty obvious something is wrong...

The x-ray, can you see the nice fracture?

My tough little girl all splinted up and doped up (no, the pain meds didn't seem to do anything to her besides help with the pain).

Even though this was a stinky thing to have happen I have plenty to be grateful for in this situation: Jenna's left handed, an awesome Dr. who I totally trust, that it happened on a day when I was around (My schedule is soooo crazy and I worry all the time about not being there for my kids and this is definitely a time I would hate not being there), a tough kid, modern medicine, ....

So now both my girls have broken bones while playing on bars...after Jenna gets her cast (which she informed is going to be green like Rylee's was) I will post pics of both my girls in their casts.

It's all a part of growing up right?

Soccer

Jenna started bugging me back in the spring about playing soccer so we signed her up. I was a little hesitant due to the fact that all 3 of the other kids played at some point but didn't really enjoy it and just kind of stood around or played around when they were on the field. Jenna seems to be enjoying it and although she hasn't scored yet she tries!

Typical Jenna!

Here she is kicking the ball.

And here she is running for the ball.

Hopefully by the end of the season she will have scored at least 1 goal and still be having as much fun as she is now.

Roran Philip Delozier

My brother Devin and his wife Karissa are the proud parents of my newest nephew, Roran. After 26 long hours with the help of forceps he entered the world on September 8, 2009 at 7:54 a.m. He weighed 8 pounds and was 19 inches long. He spent a few days in the NICU due to possible infection, but he his home now and we are all so glad he is here safe and sound. He is definitely a Delozier, he looks so much like Devin. It is going to be so fun to watch him grow! We love you Roran, and Devin & Karissa!

WEEN!!!

Our favorite band, WEEN, was touring again and once again skipping SLC, so we decided to go on the road again to see them. Mike & I left the kiddos behind with Grandma & Grandpa (THANKS mom and dad!) and made a little get away out of it. We went to Denver where WEEN played at Red Rocks. We had seen them once before at this beautiful outdoor amphitheater, but this time they were headlining. I don't know how many people Red Rocks holds but it was packed! (see we aren't the only crazy WEEN fans out there). Anyway, it was nice to sleep in for a couple days and just hang out with each other. We also got to spend an afternoon with Joan (a friend from back in the day that we love and miss who lives in Colorado Springs).

And Mike got a few minutes of skating in at the new park in Colorado Springs, it's HUGE!!!

Mike & Joan

Waiting for WEEN!!! Can you see the beautiful red rocks in the background, it is an amazing place to see a show.

Dean Ween rocking out to "With My Own Bare Hands"!

Gene, Dean, and Mean Ween!!! They put on a great show!!! They have such a variety of songs and they played a bit of everything that night.

Firsts

Today was a day of firsts:

Rylee's first day of Jr High. (I cannot believe it!) She has been so excited and was so excited this morning that when for some unknown reason her alarm went off at 1 a.m. she got up and got showered and all ready before she looked at the clock. She decided she would just stay up but was too tired so she went back to sleep until her alarm went off when it was suppose to at 6:30.
Isn't she so grown up...


The first day of school for my other kiddos without big sister around to watch over them.
They were all excited for school today as well!

My baby's first day of first grade. Yep, I now have all my kids in school all day, what am I going to do with all my time?!?!? Oh, yeah: work full time, go to school, do my clinicals, etc....Not exactly what I thought I would be doing when all my kids were in school but I know it is where I am suppose to be right now and it will all be worth it in the end. (Today was my last real "free" day before my schedule gets crazy again so I pampered myself with a mani/pedi, it was heavenly)

The first walk around the new track they built at the elementary school. They did the traditional flag ceremony this morning and then the whole school walked around the new track, it was really fun! I love Orchard Elementary!

My Giving Man

The last month or so Mike has been working downtown right across from Pioneer Park where a lot of homeless people live in SLC. He had one guy help him work a couple days and gave him so money to help him out. The guy wanted to work some more, but Mike didn't really have anything for him to do. He took him to dinner a couple times. One day he came home for lunch and left with a bag of clothes. When I asked him what the clothes were for he said my friend downtown. Luckily they are about the same size and when he told Mike he could use some more clothes Mike was glad to help him out. Mike will do anything for anyone and that is one thing that I have always loved and admired in him.

Girls Camp

You know your old when your daughter is going to her first girls camp...
I really cannot believe Ry just got back from her first Girls Camp, where has the time gone?!?! Well, she had a blast! They went to Bear Lake and hiked, biked, rock climbed, rappelled, water skied (wakeboarded, tubed), etc, etc etc. Ry didn't try rock climbing and rappelling which I was bummed about. Those are 2 things I have never done and always wanted to. I was upset she didn't try until she told me she thinks she is afraid of heights and cried when she was up at the top of the cave they were repelling into. She tried wakeboarding and tubing and loved it! She had so much fun taking pictures and hanging out with her new BFF's. I am glad she enjoyed herself and am grateful to the ladies who put so much time and effort forth for the girls.


Ry took a photography class this summer and had fun taking some neat pictures at camp. She said this was one of her favorites:




Isn't my girl so cute!!!



Ry with Mandy and Danielle, it was the first year at camp for all of them and they LOVED it!!!
