Jane's Broken Arm

Our sweet little Jane has broken her arm. Well it is only a buckle fracture, so not too serious but none-the-less painful. She has been our first kid to get a cast. Corbin had the same buckle fracture when he was two but the doctor did not think it would be worth it to cast it.
Jane had been climbing onto the counter to get another cookie when her dad asked her to get down and sit on the stool. She tried to get down but fell instead. Poor girl. It breaks my heart but it is also pretty cute to see such a small cast. She will only have to wear it for 3 weeks. But to her I'm sure it will seem like forever.

our halloween

Halloween this year was lots of fun. Of course all holidays are funner since we had kids that get excited about it. This year we went on a Halloween scavenger hunt, made cookies, went to two Halloween parties and two birthday parties, and of course went trick-or-treating. Lydia also got to have a Halloween party at kindergarten which I was in charge of. (I was very nervous because I had never done this or seen it done but it went great!) Lydia wanted to be batman-girl but we had a better princess costume. Corbin went between spider-man, batman, and superman. He would change his mind 5 times a day for two weeks, in fact he still is talking about what he is going to be for Halloween as if it is tomorrow. Jane was a sweet m&m. Miriam was an adorable little lamb. It was nice for us to spend Halloween with our kids because last year we were not able to as I was in the hospital because I had just had Miriam on the 30th.

at the beach

WE had lots of fun at Bear Lake this year. These pictures were taken on our second day to the beach, and it was particularly windy so we mostly played in the sand and not in the water.

On this windy day it was Corbin's birthday. He turned four. For his birthday he received a sand castle building set. That is what entertained all of us for most of the time we were there. What a great way to spend a birthday!
