Happy 6th Birthday Landen!

Yep thats right my oldest baby turned 6 on the 7th of September! Since I just had a baby we let Landen chose a friend to take minature golfing and out to dinner. Of course he chose Hunter so off golfing we went! Landen Hattie Porter and Hunter ready to do some serious golfing!

A broken arm won't stop this girl from having fun!

After we finished golfing we asked Landen where he wanted to go for dinner and he wanted to go to Chuckie Cheese so we headed there and the kids had a blast!

So Landen wanted a rainbow trout cake and well this is what we came up with. He wanted rainbow chip frosting and cake so it was a little tricky, but it was delicious!

Sporting his new bike!

Opening up some more presents. He had a great birthday and we are truly blessed that he is apart of our family! We LOVE our Lando!

A Sunday Treat!

t

Growing up every Sunday we would go to my Grandparents house and my Grandma always had a delicious home made treat for us. Well since we have moved away we have tried to keep up the tradition of treats on Sunday. Hattie helped me in the kitchen and we whipped up some delicious chocolate chip cookies. When Paisely was born my parents and Grandparents came out. My Grandma made this cute apron for Hattie the boys also have their own aprons each with their own initial on it!

Learning to Ride a Bike

Ty helping Landen ride a bike without training wheels. He did pretty good for it being his first time, but we decided he needed a bigger bike.

Porter taking a shot at it. This bike was the perfect size for him and he did pretty good.

Hattie enjoying the shade. She didn't get to ride the bike around because well its the same bike that got her the nice splint on her arm.

Paisley enjoying the shade. It won't be long until she's wanting to ride the bike to.

Our Little Topcat

Ty's commander gave this blanket to us when we had Paisley. Does this mean she can go to work with Ty now? I sure hope so!

Really...

We have decided that when Hattie does something she goes big. She gets the job done. Most the time this is a great thing, but for the things she chooses not so much. Example...we spent that last two weeks before Paisley came to re-do the girls room (pictures to come when complete). We put a baby gate in the door way since we were re-painting the entire room. Well the first day that we finally take the gate down Hattie goes into the closet and starts saying blue, blue, blue...oh nooooooooo! She found the only pencil left in the whole room and drew all over the nicely painted closet walls. Oh she is a funny girl.

Well her latest trick was trying to prove to us that even though we ask her not to try to ride the bike because she's not big enough to reach the peddles, that she can in fact ride the bike. Well this didn't work out so good for her. She got onto the bike and started rolling down our slopped driveway onto the slopped grass hill and crashed at the bottom and this is what ended up happening.

Yep that's right she BROKE her arm. And the go big or go home thing...she managed to break both bones in her forearm and she did it so well the E.R. wouldn't cast her they told us we had to have a orthopedic specialist look at it, place it, and cast it. So she did all this last night. We all went to the E.R. with her because in the moment I wasn't thinking that we have a 6 day old baby, but by the time we got to the hospital I realized I should have just stayed home with the baby and boys. Luckily we had called Jana to meet us there to take the boys and she ended up taking us all home. Ty stayed with Hattie and took care of things. I am so glad he was home and is going to be home for a few more days. He had to take her this afternoon to meet with the specialist and she is going to have to go tomorrow to Creighton to have it placed and casted. We almost made it a whole week with 4 kids without incident, but our little dare devil took care of that.

Oh and you ask how she is doing well...when she came home last night she kept bumping into my leg on purpose with her arm and saying ow and today she climbed right back onto the bike and thought she was ready to go again. I think we might be in trouble around here.
