The Day Has Finally Come

Today Peyton got her helmet. I'm not sure why they can't make them cute...especially since she has to wear it ALL the time! Anyways, we've been anticipating this day for about 3 months now. It's been a long and stressful road....and it's only about 1/2 over. The doctor that made the helmet says that she will be wearing it until atleast the end of the year, and probably into January. She has to wear it morning and night, but will get to take it off for about 2 hours a day. She is still going to physical therapy twice a week and the chiropractor once a week. We are kept so busy running her around to all her appointments, I will be thrilled when this part of our lives is over. Anyways, here's the first pictures of her with her helmet on.

Great Weekend!

On Friday afternoon my parents showed up on my front porch and surprised us. It was great! Normally I know at least a week in advance, so it gives me plenty of time to plan out what we are going to do and get all my cleaning done. This was not the case this weekend....which turned out to be even better! I wasn't exhausted (from cleaning) by the time they got here and we got to enjoy each others company more.

There were a few highlights this weekend: bowling and phaser tag. Here are a couple pictures of my dad bowling (taken from Aaron's iPhone...sorry for the quality) and thinking he is the "bomb" with his pants rolled up. Phaser tag was a new thing for us. It's like paint ball, but no paint...just little balls...but it hurts just as bad...just ask Skyler. He has war-wounds to prove it!Anyways, my parents left this morning....and I'm sad....but we are hoping to go visit soon! Come again!

Also, the other day I decided that Austin needed his eyebrows plucked. His brows are so bushy and "overgrown", that I couldn't stand it anymore! It took me about 30 minutes to finish because he was being such a baby....but he looks MUCH better now!

Bear World

We took the kids to Bear World a week ago. We always have fun there and the kids look forward to going every year.

Blackfoot Fair

I did it! I finally convinced my hubby to take me to the Eastern Idaho State Fair. I had a little help though...my mother-in-law moved their "baby" (Cale) to college on Wednesday, so since they were here, I told Aaron it would be fun to go to the Freestyle Motocross Races (Wednesday) and the Demolition Derby (Saturday). We took the whole family (except Peyton) on Saturday and walked around and let the kids go on a few rides, and it was lots of fun! We were shocked at how much everything costs! Good thing it's only once a year!

Head Casting

Peyton had her head casted for her helmet on Friday. It actually went pretty well! The doctor told us to give her some Benadryl before the apt. and she was totally mellow for the whole thing! It was pretty funny seeing her with all that stuff on her head. It made her look like a mummy. Sure glad we took the camera! We should have the helmet within 2 weeks.
