Hank and his great fall....

I realized that I never even posted about Hank's arm. He fell off the Monkey bars at school and broke his arm. He had a soft splint for a week.

Then we went in and he had surgery. He needed two pins placed in his arm to hold the bone in place.

In the PACU (post surgery area), they let me go back there to be with him when he came out of the anesthesia. It was sad and hard, he just kept crying out.

There were four options of beverages. Grandpa Ed was a great help in trying to get Hank to drink. They had told us we couldn't go home until he kept 4 oz of fluid down.

New Discovery........Hank has a bad throw up reaction to anesthesia

Sleeping on the floor after surgery, it was about 1AM when we finally got home and I didn't want him to fall down and get hurt.

Hanging out the day after surgery. He is so awesome!

One week later........we are able to get a real hard cast! This was an exciting day because he could now play and have fun instead of having to be very careful.

He thought he had to lie down to wait.


Then realized he didn't and started drawing on the paper table cover

The orange circle like thing is Hank's drawing of his borken arm

The pins, which don't hurt unless you look at them.

Really cool sock they put on before the cast is put on.

Then right back to school. Hank really hates to miss school. Grandpa Ed was the first to sign the cast. (Hank finally was able to see the bulls eye after the cast was removed)

Many more people signed the cast, well 19 other Kindergarten kids, two teachers, his mom, and all the family members he could find.

FINALLY! The cast is removed, exactly four weeks form surgery.

Bear Lake - Hank Mowing

Just a quick post - Proud Mom!

The background sound is pretty loud. He was so proud of himself. We were able to see all of his artwork in one folder, which was great! The music program was also very good we were only able to stay for his portion. But you could tell that there was some improvements this school year in the bands. This was the first day Hank really did anything since his surgery. (will post about that soon)

Last frozen pizza.....Habit breaking

So I ate the last frozen pizza from the freezer and will not buy any more for awhile. I have been slowly gaining weight and it has to stop!

So we made a menu for this week, where we will both eat better.

I asked Hank what two vegetables he would pick to eat this week. Neither one of us eat veggies very often. His answer was tomatoe's, the little ones from the garden. Since we do not have a garden yet, and I don't eat tomatoe's not sure what we will do about this one. We didn't end up grocery shopping today anyway so tomorrow we will have to decide.

I am also going to spend thirty minutes three days a week working out. I know it is not much but it is better then nothing.

I also have set a quit date for smoking on May 22nd. I will be reaching out for support from everyone! I have called the Utah quit line and they are available from 6am - 1 am if I need to call for support. They are also sending me a months worth of the Patch so I am going to try that way. I paid for the Zyban and tried last month and it just wasn't working for me. So for now my options are open but I am determined to make it work.

Awesome Uncle Bri & Ceramics

Uncle Bri has always been great with Hank, and that didn't change now that he is a dad. We had a great time doing ceramics with Aunt Kim Uncle Bri and Heather and Eric.

Posing for the photos

Feet work much better for infants.

Funny little guy....

Here is a quick video of my favorite little man!

I know....Easter update

Ok so I have not blogged forever! As many people keep reminding me...
Here are some easter pictures of us decorating eggs. We had a great time even if it was 10 at night when we finally got around to it.

Fun day at the park

Ok here are some fun pictures of Faultline park. On one of the nice days Hank and I took a walk over to the park so he could play.

Waving for Aunt Carole

Some strange play equipment. Adults should not try this one, good thing Hank didn't know where the camera was when I showed him how to work it.

Finally telling

OK Already!

So I am sitting here procrastinating on writing a psychology paper so I figured I would update on what Hank actually did to receive the scratches.

We have a little area sort of like an alcove that is about waist high and has shelves in it. He decided to climb up into it to get a poster that was stored up there. He slipped and fell out and down. The edge is metal, like the strip of metal between carpet and linoleum. Anyway if he wasn't so SKINNY then he would not have been hurt. His ribs stick out of his scin and slid down the edge, that is why the marks look like a scratch.

OK back to my homework! What exaclty should be included in a Critical Observation paper anyway?

Take a guess

Take a guess HOW Hank managed this injury :)

* singing in chapel

Hank and his class sang during chapel today which was also Ash Wednesday. I am horrible at holding a camera steady, always have been guess I always will be. But you can at least hear them!

Can't keep up

So I have discovered that I can not keep up with posting!

Here are a few pictures of Hank's 100th day project for school. THANKFULLY Grandpa Ed was so willing to help him. They had a great time (at least Hank did) and the project was awesome.

Skiing

This is our awesome Uncle Briant helping Hank try out his ski boots and ski's. Notice he is wearing a helmet!First day up on the slopes in 2009! It was a lot of work. I think I forgot about that part.




One totally CUTE dude!


This is what the tow rope does to you IF you grab it without a glove.

Honestly we had a great time. Even though it is free to go up one of the lifts after three we didn't make it that far. It took us about three hours to get to the tow rope and go down three times. We are going to try and go up again in a few weeks. No tow rope grabbing for me though!
