Josh broke his leg!

Josh was at a summer day camp on Tuesday and was on this platform teeter/totter thing. He got pushed off and the board fell on his leg. It broke his tibia.

We went straight to the pediatrician who was able to x-ray it. Unfortunately, they couldn't cast it. They put a brace on it and sent us home w/ pain medicine. I really wish we had gone straight on to the ER instead.

Around 9:00 that night, Josh was in extreme pain - screaming out in a major way. We finally took him to the ER and they put a half cast on it (the cast is up the back of his leg and wrapped in the front). It's up to his thigh.

He'll be in this for 2 weeks and then have a regular cast put on then. For now, we have to carry him everywhere he goes. :(

Happy Birthday, Josh!!

I'm a couple days late posting this, but wanted to wish Josh a very Happy 7th Birthday on June 10.

We went to Kingsport last weekend. Josh got lots of clothes from Grandmother and Granddaddy. He got a Lego RC car from Beverly & Junior (very cool).

We got him an Ipod Nano (Phil's idea). He LOVES it!

This Saturday, he's having a birthday party at the bowling alley. He's invited his 2 best friends, Nick and Grant (and Nick's brother, Mitch). He's going to have a ball!!

After that, we're going back home to have a family party. We're going to have a baked potato bar (Josh has a new love for baked potatoes). I'll make a big pot of chili and we'll also have salad stuff, so we can do potatoes, salads or "Petros".

I have to go potty!!!!

We were in the middle of church last night, sitting on the far side of the room (we usually sit near the door, but got there too late to get our normal seat).

Anyway, Emma yells out, "I have to go potty!!!" several times. :)

I take her and Callie and climb over everyone in our row...we finally got outside and on our way to the bathroom.

We meet at the YMCA in Farragut right now and the only bathroom is in another part of the building. :)

Both girls actually went (yay). After that, we just hung out outside until the kids were dismissed to their classes. I wasn't about to climb all over everyone again (and yet again to take them back out to class).

Scout Camp - Day 1

Today was the first day of Scout Camp. Josh was a little nervous since he really didn't know what to expect. He was especially nervous about shooting a BB gun. He's never had any exposure to guns and he was afraid it would be too loud.

Well, they shot off the guns today and he LOVED it. He said it wasn't too loud at all. :) I just hope he doesn't want one for Christmas. :)

I'm not sure what all he did (yet), but he did say they brought in zoo animals for them to see.

I'm anxious to get home to find out more. He can't wait to go back tomorrow!

Potty Training

Yes, the girls are pushing 3 1/2 and are just now starting to really get interested in the potty. Oy!!

Saturday was a good day. I think the only accident Emma had was when she was napping (oh, and she pooped in her pullup). Callie had a couple of accidents, but did pretty well, too!

Sunday, they sat on the potty several times, but did nothing. I hope today is a better day!

I'll be glad when they're out of diapers!!
