Ok, I usually don't play the tag games and stuff, but since I have been feeling a little lonely lately, this one sounded fun.
1. Leave a comment here of a memory you have of you and I. It doesn't matter if we know each other well or just a little.
2. If you leave a comment I will go to your blog. If you are playing there I will leave a comment, if not I will comment here on my memory of us.

What is new
Well, I ended up having my gall bladder removed this month and our little Kianna went to live with her Aunt . Last week our new door finally came in and we had it installed. Jason got it stained, but we are out of time and he will have to finish caulking and painting the trim after the fourth. 
The best news is that Caleb got his cast off. There was much drama and trauma, but we got it off and now he just has to wear the wrap for two weeks. He also decided to go for a new look and wanted me to buzz his hair again. It is nice to see his face again.
This month we also went up to Rock Port. The Palmer family had their anual camp out. We just went up for a day....... I wasn't up for the all night tent and cold thing while I was still being super glued together. The kids all had fun, and we were glad Caleb's cast was waterproof.

Best Friends
Most of you know how crazy scared of dogs Joseph was. At the sight of even a small dog out the front window, Joseph would cry and be afraid. When outside with one in sight, he would litterally crawl up my leg and scream about the dog eating him. 
Well, today Joseph asked if he could go outside to pet the doggie. I said yes, and for over an hour I watched him gate off his garden and talk and pet and play with the dog with her chew toy. I finally decided that I couldn't get a good pic through the blinds, so I went out to find a very hot boy and a very hot dog. So I let them come in and Joseph wanted to give the dog a treat for being so good. And you can see what he did.
Shaddow sat when Joseph said, and took the treat nicely right out of his hand. Now Trever on the other hand .... I just can't get him to understand that he is the one teaching the dog to treat him like a big chew toy. I think some weird part of him kind of likes it. I just hope they will both grow out of it before someone gets hurt.

11 Years
I can't believe that we have been married 11 years. Most days it feels alot longer than that. We have had a very busy and somewhat stressful 11 years. I am so greatful that we have had them and look forward to many more. 
I guess 11 years to me means that this is not only the most recent pic of us together, it is the only one, since we have had kids. I guess one of us is usually using the camera. Well, I just wanted to let everyone know that I am proud of my husband and I love him very much. I am so greatful that he has worked so hard to be here and do all that he does. Happy anniversary. (Note: for our actual anniversary I had surgery and Jason took care of the kids. FUN)

Dad's Birthday
Happy Birthday Dad! I hope your birthday was something to be remembered. I know that most of my readers know my dad, and that those who don't might think they do for how much I talk about him and quote him. But for those who don't, let me just say for the record that He is the best. I know that most think that about their dads, so I will give some proof. I have been a daddys girl for as long as I can remember. 
I have always been emensly proud of him. He is my hero and has been a hero to many. I remember standing outside our apt in Buhl on a dark night. I must have been 3 or 4. We could see what appeared to be a head bobbing up and down in the front room of the apt. I remember my dad showing up in his uniform and telling us to stay put. Soon he came out of the house with a balloon and told me we were all very silly to be afraid of a balloon. I remember his smile on so many occasions that lightened the mood and helped us all to find happiness. I remember him letting us try to ride the cow, and laughing at Terry and I as we pretended to be cows and actually tried the cow lick. I was always so proud that he was a police man and I loved his stories. (Ok except the ones he told to scare me straight as a teenager)
Some of the most important lessons he has taught me are: Progression means that we try to be better with our children that our parents were with us. As our family progresses and gets better we perfect our ancestors. and If you are living the best you can and asking for the Lords help, He will guide your life, even if your path does not appear to follow the way you thought. Each path is different and just because it is different doesn't mean the Lord is not guiding it. and Heavenly Father does not stop all bad things from happening just because we pray for it. This life is a mortal one and is meant to be a trial. If we are to gain glory with our Father in Heaven, we must endure the trials of mortality. and there are really so many more. He taught me the power of a good laugh, and not to be so hard on myself. (ok dad, I still struggle with that, but I am trying)
Well, I miss my dad every day. He was my best friend for a long time. He taught me to be independant, but I still need him and often ask myself what he would do or what he would tell me if he were here. I remember many many nights of writing English papers or math homework in front of a good movie with my dad after work. I remember him rubbing my feet and vice versa. I now know what a great service that was. I truely miss things like........him calling me back up the stairs at 12:00 Am to ask me how far I would be if he hadn't called me back, and telling me to spit in one hand and want in the other to see which filled up faster and especially where to find sympathy in the dictionary. I could go on and on, but I don't want this to sound like an obituary. He is still kicking and is as busy and fun as ever. (Note the four wheeler rides he took the boys on) Here is to another 60 great years dad. (and I didn't even touch what a great Grandpa he is.) I love you.

Caleb mentioned on the way to the Dr. that he had secretly wanted a broken arm to see what it was like, and to get the attention. Now he totally regrets that wish. I think every kid between 6 and 11 sometimes wants to know what a broken bone is like. Over the last week and a half Caleb has really begun to hate having a broken arm. 
His cousin Garrett broke his arm also, a couple of days before Caleb did. They were both very happy to have some company in their misery.

Broken
Well, I knew it was only a matter of time.......We took another trip to the E.R. last night. When Caleb was younger he was never one to take risks. In fact I often had to urge him to be brave and try new things. It took me by surprise to find his wrist not only broken but displaced as well. He was playing on the monkey bars out back, and just dismounted wrong . We were on our way to a family birthday party, I was just telling everyone to load up, and I hear Caleb screaming. He was pretty hysterical, at first. I knew by the look of his twisted left wrist that it was broken. He asked his dad for a blessing, afterwhich he was much calmer. When he found out they might have to do surgery to fix it, he was verry upset again, but then had us say another prayer. He calmed down, and did very well. He even handled the x-rays pretty well. And those aren't gentle. Anyway lon story short, they sedated him and were able to set the bone back in place. He is in a splint for the next week, and will then move to a cast for four to six weeks. What a way to kick off the summer! I feel so bad for him and wish I could make it feel better. I have pics from the hospital on my phone and when I figure out how to get them on the computer I'll post a few.
