Newest Additon

I know that this is a little late, but here is R and her newest addition. Her "owie arm". It happened on the 11th of June. She had been wanting to go outside and play, but it had been raining all day. In between rain storms my dad went outside to grill dinner, and so I let her go out and play. She was trying to climb the metal ladder(thats still wet from the rain) while holding onto chap stick! Yes, my daughter is OBSESSED with chap stick so it makes the whole story even more funny!

She has done really well with it! I have been very happy. They put a soft cast on her for 4 days, then we took her in and got a HOT PINK cast. This is her showing it off!


After only a week it already smells. GROSS!!! We put baby powder down the finger's part and down by her arm, and it tends to help a little! The sad thing is not only can she not swim during these hot days, but she will have it on for her birthday! :( Oh well, all part of growing up I guess. I forgot, when they took the x-ray her bone wasn't broken into 2, but bent. Its called a buckle fracture. Because her bones are still soft they bent(pretty bad) but I thought that was cool! Its still considered a fracture because her bones are way out of alignment. All is well though!

AIRSHOW!

If your really know our family, you well know that there can't be an airshow at Hill Air Force Base, and us not go. There are airshows all over and yes we do travel to some. But to have an airshow right in our backyard is wonderful! We, along with 280,000 other people, attended this event on Saturday!

This was the first airshow for R. I really was debating on if we should take her or leave her home with my parents. Jared really wanted to take her! So our friend Kiara is from Layton so if she got bad, the weather got bad, or whatever, I could go to her parent's house and wait for the show to get over. Luckily we never had to leave!

She loved watching the airplanes. She really liked to watch the biplanes do their tricks! They had some F-18, and F-16 demonstrations, which turned R into a big War bird fan (the old planes from like WWII)She didn't like how loud the jets were on the F-16, and F-18! It was funny at first when they flew pass she would cover her eyes. We had to show her how to cover her ears to make it not so loud!

The is Jared, R, and Grandpa walking through a C-17 ( I think thats what it was called, who really knows besides my husband, and father-in-law :)

This is the same 3 plus r's cousin Damion! Who is becoming just as obsessed with airplanes as his grandpa, and uncle!

This is R is front of her favorite airplane the Hellcat I think! Anyways it was used in WWII!

They have these at almost every airshow, but it was fun to have R as the 3rd pilot this time(thanks Kiara)!Last but not least the highlight of the show the Air Force Thunderbirds! They are so beautiful to watch. Their formations and tricks are incredible!

I wish I got a picture of it, but remember how R was not excited about how loud the 1 F-16 was by itself. Well she fell asleep right before the Thunderbirds did their part of the airshow. That's 6, F-16 flying at the same time......they are LOUD(in an amazing way!) but she flinched once and that was it. She slept right through them! Overall she did so great. I guess I am a pessimistic mother when it comes to thinking how my girl with deal with doing new things! I would suggest going next time they have it, hey its FREE, who doesn't love a great show for free. Make note not to rush out of there though. It took us about 2 hours to get home when it usually is just over an hour!
