I'm Like Short Round

is what our 4 year old said when he needed to fit into a little spot to get something. If you have played Lego Indiana Jones, you will understand why I thought this was funny.

Family Reunion

We had a family reunion on Saturday with my Dad's sisters. The only second/third generationers were my family, my sister Rosann, and my cousin April and her family. So while the older generation talked we decided to go to This is the Place park to see what was there.

The monument.

Tepees

Little train rides.

A bank robbery and gunfight

A petting area.

Pony rides

The Emery County Cabin

And much more.

It was pretty fun, and much better than sitting around!

Race for the Children's justice center

On Saturday we ran the Children's Justice Center 5K and Teddy Bear 1K Run up in Salt Lake. It was pretty fun. When we ran the 5k is was raining just a little bit, but when our 4 year ran the 1k, it was raining pretty hard. He had a lot of fun and wants to do more races!

Here is a stuffed lobster that J got for finishing the race. He ran the whole thing and didn't stop once!!Afterward they had a prize drawing and everyone in my family that ran the 5k won a prize except for me :( Luci got the best prize out of our family. A sweet glass mug shaped as a boot, steak sauce and a $30 gift card to Texas Roadhouse!

Museum of the San Rafael

Here is the best museum in Emery County! The Museum of the San Rafael. The best part about is that it is free, however, J and Z do love the dinosaur bones and animals that are there too!

Before and After

Before:
After a week of a soft cast and 3 weeks of a hard blue cast, J was ready to get it off.

After:
Another x-ray to make sure that everything was ok, which was the worst part and J did not want to do it. We think that he associates the x-ray with pain when it first happened. Then they cut off the cast, pulled out the pins, and put on a blue bandage. He will wear this for a day and then he will just need bandaids where the pins were for a week or so. Then he will be almost good. He will get good movement in a month and then full movement in about 2 months. He's got a pretty good rash where the cast was, but I think he can handle that with some cream and ti will be way better than the cast. In one more month we have to go up to Primary Children's to make sure all is well. We hope that we don't have to do this again.
