Happy Halloween!

Update

Two months, two ER visits, one of which I'd like to forget, two massive broken bones, two surgeries, four pins, six cast/splints, many doctor visits, and finally good news!! Cast is off and I got to bathe my arm!!! It is going to take a lot of Physical Therapy, Ive been going three days a week for about and hour and a half each time. Its a lot to squeeze into my schedule, but I'm working it out. The occupational therapist that I am working with is amazing, and I trust him completely! There are days he makes me cry, but "no pain, no gain" right? I am really looking forward to being healthy and active again! I know its going to be a long road to a full recovery, but I know I can do it! I believe in my self! My goal is to be able to do a push up by Christmas! :)
Everyone gave me such a hard time about signing my cast, but I couldn't stand the thought of it looking so messy! ;) Well, the night before the last surgery when I knew the cast would be coming off, I gave in and let my kids graffiti me up! :)

This picture is nasty, but this is right after the surgical splint came off.

And What it looks like today. Considering what Its been though, I think it looks pretty good!!

Mommy Daughter Halloween Dinner Date! :)

Jamyn and I were able to attend a Mommy Daughter Date! We had tons of fun! Its always great to get to have a little one on one time with one of my babes! It was halloween dress up, and Jamyn was a cute little hippy, I tried to throw something cute together out of my closet, so this is the best I could come up with! We had so much fun!!

Cameron!!

Our family has a new family member, so I have a new nephew, and he is so dang cute! His name is Cameron, he just turned seven and he is loads of fun! He has been able to spend a lot of time at our house and fits in great with my kiddos. Its a really long story, but what matters most is now he has a loving home that he absolutely loves and a family that accepts and loves him!

Sleep over at our house!

Read A Thon

Discovery Elementary's principal duct taped to the wall. The kids read 129,000 minutes and earned over $6,000! They were so excited to see this. He stayed up all through lunch! What a great sport!! My kids all met the goals that they set and between the three of them earned $2200 for the school! I am so proud of them!!

This is how we do it!!

Go big or go home? Leave it to some Lott Boys to keep the kids entertained...

My Babies are off to Preschool!!

I can not believe that Krew and Kynzi are old enough to be going to Preschool! Just puts into perspective how fast time really does FLY! These are my babies!! They are so excited and absolutely loving it! They go to Lots O Love Preschool with not only two of the best teachers EVER, but two of my dearest friends! Thank goodness I know they are in great hands!

First Day of School

School is back in session! The kids are so excited to be going back and attending Discovery Elementary! Jamyn is in the 4th grade with Mrs. Smith, Whitney is in the 2nd grade with Miss Gellings, and Jace is off to Kindergarten with Mrs. McCammon! We love our school and look forward to learning so much and making memories to last a lifetime!

Tradition is that Dad takes the kids to the First Day of School in the "old car" they loved it!

Where did August go?

Well, it is now September...where did our summer go? We celebrated Nathan's Birthday August 5th. He is finally 32! :)
We headed to Salmon, Idaho so that I could go play in a softball tournament over the weekend. It was beautiful there, the weather was perfect! We were having so much fun!! The third game of the tournament I was running to second base and needed to slide to avoid getting out. I slid, and somehow in the process broke my arm. I heard the most awful crack, felt a feeling of pain overcome my entire body, and as soon as I pulled my arm up you could vividly see that my arm was broken. FYI, I was safe!! :) I was rushed into town to the ER where I had a horrible experience! The doctor, along with Nathan, and lack there of drugs proceeded to set my arm, not once, but twice. They put me in an ugly blue hard cast up over my elbow, told me it wasn't perfect, but it would have to do, and sent me on my way. Well, I have been around, and knew that I shouldn't be in a hard cast, especially considering my fingers were turning purple before I left the hospital due to the swelling. Plus, telling me my arm isn't perfect...really...didn't sit well with me! We went to the place we were staying and I tried to rest, which was impossible due to the incredible pain I was in. We hurried home the next day and since my fingers were purple, and so swollen I had no space between them we rushed to the ER in Idaho Falls. They couldn't believe the shape I was in! They took the cast off, replaced it with a splint and sent me to an orthopedic surgeon.Found out that I completely broke both bones in my lower arm in half and shattered the joint in my wrist. They did surgery to repair the damage, and now I have 4 pins holding my bones together. The doctor told me the break was bad enough that I probably should have been life flighted and rushed to emergency surgery. At three weeks after the accident I finally got a cast below the elbow, so that made life a little easier...a little! Plus, the cast is super cute bright pink, so that brought a little sunshine to my soul! :)It has been a really hard six weeks, I love summer, especially the heat and sunshine. Its been hard avoiding both, since I can't stand it when my arm gets hot, sweaty, and swells. I have been trying to over come this trial, and find myself. I have so much fear of the future, and the unknown, but I know with strength and hope I can endure anything! I return to surgery this coming Friday to remove the hardware. Hopefully that will ease some of the pain, and I will be back to normal soon!

On a lighter note...August is over, School is back in session. Back to school post soon to follow. I'm over typing one handed so good night!

Lake Powell

We were able to spend 12 Days at Lake Powell this year, and as always, it was amazing!  Pretty much my favorite place ever!  The weather was perfect, the Lake was beautiful, and everything was amazing! The kids had so much fun playing in the water all day every day.  We did a ton of boat rides and site seeing, every trip things change so much so its always a new beautiful experience.  We all wakeboarded.  Jace is learning so well, Jamyn is doing awesome, and Whit is amazing...seriously the girl is a natural.  She had a blast double boarding with Dad! The kids love the tube.  Krew and Kynz and Jace did great on the skis!  We lounged around and soaked up the sun!  The time went so fast, and I am so looking forward to the next trip! It is always hard to come home, but good to be home!  I am so thankful for being able to spend time with my amazing children and make memories to last a lifetime!

Hebdon Reunion 2011!

 Had so much fun spending time with all of my family at our Reunion!  The Theme this year was welcome to the 80's!  We had a great time, but wow...I am so glad big hair isn't cool like that!  :)

TBall and Pitching Machine

The kids spent the month of June playing TBall and Pitching Machine.  Jace played TBall and did a super job this year!  His favorite spot was pitcher!!  He did so great at getting lots of outs! He ran super fast and made his Mama aka Coach very proud!  Jamyn and Whitney played Pitching Machine and had so much fun and did so great!  They both learned so much and really improved a ton! 
My sweet friend Kristen and I coached both teams and had a blast doing it!  Our TBall Team did so great and went undefeated! :)  Our Pitching Machine team did awesome too!  Almost of our kids should have been playing TBall still, so they were very young, but I am so proud of them!  They worked so hard, listened so well, and learned so much!  We got Most Improved Team of the year!!  :) Can't wait for next summer! Pretty sure I have just as much fun as the kids have!!
The kids always look forward to the end of the year party at my house too!  We had a blast!!

Lightning & Lil' Lightning

I am so proud of both of my little teams this year and I love all of these little kids sooo much!

Jamyn's letter to Whitney

This was the cutest, sweetest thing ever! So lucky to have a sister so close! :)

Good Bye Third Grade!

 

Jamyn had the best year with the greatest teacher EVER!! We were lucky enough to get Mrs. Julian for second and third grade, and she was seriously so great!  I was so lucky to be "Room Mom" and it was so much fun to be so involved in the classroom, and we all know I can pretty much through a rockin party! :) Well that's what the kids told me anyway! We had an end of year Luau, and it was so much fun, to bad my camera was home for that one. :( These pictures are from the last day of school, which we had to party inside...gotta love Idaho.  So proud of both of my girls and the amazing year that they had!

Happy Eleven Years To US!

Dance, Dance, Dance.....

Happy Birthday Anthony!

Today would have been Anthony's 24th Birthday! We went to the cemetary to celebrate his life and send him balloons.  I love keeping his memory alive for my children.  Anthony was an amazing young man, and I am so greatful to have the knowledge that my family will see him again! I can't believe that this week also means that he has been gone for nine years.  We love him and we miss him so very much!  

Happy 5th Birthday Jace!!

May 22, 2006 my sweet little boy came into this world weighing 7 pounds even!  (My biggest baby) I was so excited, yet so nervous for a BOY!  Today he turns FIVE!  Wow....time flies when you are having fun!  Jace has taught me not only all about little boys, but so much about myself!  I am so blessed to have the sweetest, loud, hyper, keep me on my toes every second, loveable, sometimes make me wanna scream, compassionate, so much love to give, wild, big blue eyed, make every day not boring, little stinker who I absolutely can't get enough of.  Every day he lights up my life and I am so thankful that I was blessed enough to get him just the way he is!
Jace loves to be outside!  He loves to help his dad work, and begs to go "truckin" every day! He is a natural, considering he has been raised in a truck!  Actually, he says his name is....Jace Nathan Lott Trucking! :) Jace just graduated from Preschool, and is looking forward to Kindergarten in the fall! He is super smart!  FYI...Don't give him your phone number unless you want him to call you 10 times a day! He has everyone person who has dared give him their number memorized!  He has an amazing memory! He loves to ride his 4 wheeler and go camping. He loves to go boating and is a pro at water skiing, now we are working on the wakeboard. :) All he wanted for his Birthday was a puppy, so a puppy is what he got!  She is an adorable White German Shepherd and she is spoiled and loved to pieces already! For his Birthday he wanted to go swimming, so we went swimming with all of his cousins and friends on Saturday. On his real Birthday, Sunday, we had a BBQ with all of his Grandparents and Aunts and Uncles.  Ya...we partied all weekend! He deserves it!

  I thank Heavenly Father everyday that I was blessed with this amazing little boy! Happy Birthday Buddy!!
