Playing Out Back

We were out back the other night and the boys of course got in the mud! They were having so much fun, I just had to snap some shots! Then after the mud fun, they conned Cory into pushing them on the swings and helping them on the monkey bars!

Cory was appalled at their muddy faces, but I thought they were too cute!

Jack was worn out just watching the boys...he is getting so lazy!

ER visit for Caden

Sunday evening while with Gigi and Pops, Caden was playing out back with Pops and we hear him crying...no big deal I thought! Then I see my dad rounding the corner with Caden in his arms and blood pouring out of Caden's knee! Fun! He tripped over a garden weasel while digging out back and cut open his leg. Gigi held Caden while I got my first aid kit out and got the bleeding to stop sort of, then called Pops back in to examine the wound. It was only about an inch long, but was really wide. Almost 1/2 inch wide but not very deep so I wasn't sure about stitches. Pops said we needed to take him in, so off to the ER we went.

Since it wasn't too deep they were able to use the dermabond stuff instead of stitches! Caden was relieved! He was in quite a bit of pain and was also a little on the anxious side. All in all he was a trooper as long as Pops was by his side holding him or his hand! He couldn't run or jump for 2 days (yeah right!) and couldn't get it wet for 24 hours. Other than that we are good to go! It is still a little sore, but he is doing a great job of keeping it off the ground, and out of the dirt!

Here is his sad face, waiting for the doctor to come in! He was anxious to have to lay on the exam table...but as long as Pops didn't move he was better.

Here is a shot of the wound...doesn't look too bad glued shut!

Boot Scooting Boogie

The boys thought they needed some shoes to accesorize with after dinner! Carter loves to wear Caden's boots, so Caden decided to get out Daddy's! They were too funny!

Kiddie Pool

We got desperate this week with the 100 degree heat and got a small kiddie pool! The boys loved it so of course I had to get some quick pics and video! Enjoy!

Farm Machines

Also while in Guymon, Cory's friend Landry took Caden to see some big farm machines. Caden was very excited! Landry is his new favorite farm buddy! Hopefully when they harvest Landry will get to take Caden on a combine...the boy will be in heaven!

Grammie's Thunderbird

Daddy took Grammie's car for a spin while we were in Guymon and the boys thought it was the coolest thing ever. Caden got in and Cory pushed the button that lowered the roof and Caden got way too excited :) "Dad the top is coming off!"

Please don't call DHS on me, they just rode like a few houses down the street and back.

All Boys Campout

Just a random picture I found while cleaning up some files on the computer. This was a few weeks ago probably. Caden said they were having an all boys campout and I wasn't invited...I guess there will be more of that to come. You should also notice Jack was invited and not me...Caden said it was because Jack is a boy too!

Like Father Like Son

When I was in Guymon and showed Caden's tool belt picture to Cory's mom...she got out a pic of Cory to compare. What do you think?
