We're home from the hospital. The surgery went well. Stacia is resting comfortably. She finally asked for some pain meds. I've posted two picture pre-op and one from after.

Joshua has learned a new word. He's walking around saying, "MINE" for everything! If it wasn't so dang cute it'd be a bit aggrevating hehehe.

Tuesday, May 8th - More

Stacia has to have surgery on her arm tomorrow. The doctor will put in at least 2 pins, then in 3 weeks they have to remove them. My mom's coming down to stay with the kids so Chuck and I can both go with her. The hospital is about 1 1/2 hours away and then we were told to expect to be there at least 6 hours and possibly up to 24 hours.

Hectic day ahead! This morning at 10:00 Stacia has an appointment with an orthopedic doctor. She fell funny on the trampoline and broke her arm, just above her elbow last night. She is miserable!

Then, at 2:00 I have an appointment. At 4:30 I'm leaving for a Bi-stake Women's Conference. I'm so excited. We're doing a little service project, eating dinner and then there will be music and speakers. Chuck is in charge of the kids. Stacia was suppose to have track and field tonight, but that isn't happening now, so all he has to do is feed them dinner and take them to a 6:00 DARE program. Makiya is graduating and she was also chosen from her class to read her report. Only one student per 5th grade class was chosen. We're very proud at how well she wrote her report.

Oh, and here's a layout I did using one of the pictures I posted yesterday. I got the idea for the picture here: http://www.digishoptalk.com/gallery/showphoto.php?photo=90814&cat=all&ppuser=1325

I've had a fun day today. It was my Cleaning Marathon Day with my friends at LDS Moms Unite. The house is nice and clean again (well, the girls are home and they've gotten a snack, so the kitchen counter is a mess again!)

DigiScrapShak is down because they are moving to a new server, so I've been messing around with extraction techniques. I found a lot of pages at Digi Shop Talk http://www.digishoptalk.com/boards/showthread.php?t=51776 and loved them all. So, I decided to try this. I have done one extraction page before, so it wasn't completely new. Anyway, I can't wait to scrap what I did today.



This last one is my favorite. I was excited I figured out how to bend the paper a bit. This is a composite of 4 different pictures.

National Scrapbooking Day. I didn't even scrap hehe. But, I did chat with several scrappers from DigiScrap Shak. Sat in there for 2 hours this morning. That was a lot of fun.



This picture is the new mega kit available at DigiScrapShak.com http://digiscrapshak.com/store/index.php?main_page=product_info&cPath=79&products_id=1812
Doesn't it look yummy. I can't wait to get my hands on it.




Chuck took Shayla to the Scout Extravaganza in Richfield this morning. His troup had to "flash" a signal with some cool mirrors they made. It was pretty cold, but they did have enough sun for what they needed to do.



Spent a couple of hours this afternoon sorting worms. Chuck is delivering 2 dozen worms and 40 lbs of castings up to the SLC area on Monday. We also had a call yesterday from a lady who had heard about our Castings from a friend. She and three of her friends each bought 5 qt containers. They were excited to get the castings, so Chuck and Makiya took them over to Spring City yesterday afternoon.

Some pages I've done the last few days. You can find out more about them here:

Thursday, May 3rd

Fast week! I can't believe I haven't blogged since Monday. Kind of a boring week though. I've spent some time scrapbooking (I'll post pictures soon), trying to keep up with Joshua, doctor's appointment for Makiya, track and field practice of Stacia, and being driven crazy by Shayla. . .almost 8 is such a hard age for little girls. Did help Chuck mow the lawn yesterday and it's sad to say that is the highlight of my week.

Stacia has track and field practice again tonight.

Oh, what a sad little post.
