What happened to the Summer ?-Stitches and Staples.

I know that it has been a long time since I blogged I was actually thinking that I would give it up since so much has happened since my last blog. The boys turned 4, McKenze turned 6, yes I did finish painting my dining room, I had surgery, McKenna was baptized (I will try to post that in the next week but no promises), we had a fun summer full of camping, swimming and yes stitches and staples.

Where to start I guess I will start at the end of June the Home teachers had just left after they made some really cool paper airplanes for the kids. All of the kids were out back (I finally have a landscaped backyard) flying their airplanes and Deven and I were in the house cooking dinner. Suddenly here comes McCall she is holding Tate's arm and all the other kids were crowded around. Tate had climbed the neighbors chain link fence to try to get his paper airplane that flew into their yard and he cut his arm on the top of the fence. It was so gross there was fat hanging out of the cut. So we take him down to the hospital and of course he had to get stitches the funny thing was he didn't even cry until Deven told him he was going to the hospital.

This is right after they stitched it
I can't remember how many stitches there was at least nine.

So we get Tate all fixed up and then the following week is the 4th of July we decide to go camping that weekend. We went to Enterprise reservoir to go fishing which we did not catch a thing. On the 4th we went fishing in the morning and then we went back to camp to pack up then we were going on a hike. Well as Deven and I were packing the kids were playing on the rocks and then we here one of the boys crying and I can tell by the way he is crying that something is wrong.
So we run over to them and the girls tell us he fell off the rock and hit his back. Well he didn't fall very far so we were looking at his back to make sure it looked alright then we look at his hat and it is covered in blood. Take off the hat and he has two large cuts in his head that won't stop bleeding. So we pack everything in the matter of 5 minutes throw it in the truck and then head down to the hospital again with another boy that looks a lot like the one we brought in last week. I was sure that DCFS was going to be called but we got in and out of the ER in 45 minutes and had 5 staples to show off.
He was very dirty we didn't even take him to shower before going to the ER. So that was our fun and exciting summer. I swear girls are so much easier then boys we have not had one accidental stitch with any of the girls.
