So...Connor's little surgery went really well. He's healing up just fine too. I didn't take pictures because I am certain he wouldn't appreciate that when he's older...but everything looks good! He's a tough kid and hasn't even acted too phased by his incisions. Any grown man would still be lying in bed moaning in pain. It's a good thing to take care of early on! Thanks for your thoughts and prayers!
Brandon had a birthday yesterday! (I pretty much am too darn busy+tired to download pictures. I haven't posted birthday pictures for any birthdays lately. I need to do that. One big birthday picture post.) Anyhow. I hope Brandon had a good birthday. We're glad to have him around and love him for all he does for our family. :) The kids made wrapping paper Monday and wrapped his presents than yesterday they decorated his cake and make signs for him. We had pulled pork burritos with cilantro dressing and it was pretty darn good. Brandon's mom came for dinner+cake+ice cream. We love that she's able to come help us celebrate our birthdays. I think my kids will grow up remembering that Grandma Flake was always there on their birthday.
Life is moving along over here. We were in Mesa for most of last week letting Connor heal up a bit before making him sit in a car for 3 hours. We shopped and Brandon and the kids swam. Adelin is officially a swimmer. She jumps off the rocks at Celeste's pool and swims to the other side of the pool without a problem. I am SO grateful for that! It gives me comfort to know she can save herself if she were to ever fall into a pool. (not that it'll keep us from watching her and the other kids like a hawk!) Brandon and I also got to go to a Diamond Backs game. We haven't been to one in years. We sat in the outfield bleachers. Willie What'shisface the guy who was playing outfield was nice and kept tossing baseballs to the kids. (not our kids...they were with my parents). It was a good game. We lost. But it was nice to just sit there. I would've have closed my eyes and taken a snooze on Brandon's shoulder if I wasn't afraid of being put up on the big screen. We were sitting by some people who had big posters and flags who were trying to draw attention to themselves. (and succeeding) It would be just my luck for them to catch me with my mouth half open and drooling. So...I stayed awake...and watched the game...and listened to the conversations of people around me. ;)
Oh yeah...Father's Day was Sunday. I owe Brandon breakfast in bed still because we had to rush to pack up our things and get to my Grandpa Newbolds ward in the morning.
Well...the kids need me. Duty calls.
