A SMILE...

Yesterday jade got her to smile at him. That was the best thing to see. It made are whole day. We also got her to giggle alittle. It was so nice to see her face lite up instead of looking so sad. She still isn't talking but I think it is getting closer. She makes more progress everyday. She gets alittle stronget today she sat up and helped get herself dressed. So little by little she will get there. Today she was watching dora and she started laughing it was good to hear that too. I will keep you posted on how she is doing. Thanks again for all your prayers and concern.

Jade was tickeling her and she thought that was pretty funny. Normally she would be yelling at him to stop. It didn't seem to bother her much. Just chillin with her BIG Bro.

When I walked in her room yesterday she was just waking up and this is what I saw. So Cute.

Our Little Princess

Well I am sure alot of you have heard the bad news about Addie. Those of you who haven't this is what happened. Last Mon she went with her dad roping, jade had her riding by herself but was helping her learn how to lead he was right by her side. The horse got spooked and ran off with Addie. Jade thinks she tried to pull him back to stop and when she did that she flipped herself forward and fell off. Hitting her head really hard and she was unconscious, jade had to give her CPR thank goodness he has had lots of training to know what to do. They called 911 and they came right away, but shortly decided to life flight her to Primary Childrens. When we got there they did x-rays and ct scans and found no broken bones but a skull fracture and a little bleeding. I would have rather had her break an arm and a leg then go through this. It would have been hard but not this hard.

She has come a long way since that day she was pretty much out of it for a few days but was breathing on her own the next day. She did have a chest tube to help her alittle. But that was taken out on wed. On friday she opened her eyes and recognized us when we would say where is mom or dad. On sat I went and got her a DORA movie and she reached up to grab it that was huge the most she had moved since she has been there. She is awake alot more throughout the day and she has 3 kinds of therapy a day. To help her walk, talk, and do everyday things like getting dressed and she does those 3 times a day. Yesterday she was able to sit on her own, but not for to long but that was good to see her getting stronger. She still isn't talking but we are hopeful it won't be to much longer. One of the hardest hing for me to see is her just lay there with no emotion in her face, that is very normal and is one of the last things to come back.

Jade and I are doing well it has been very hard, but with all the love and support from family and friends we are going to make it through this rough time. Thanks for all your prayers.

Jade would not leave her side for the first few daysKy worries about her everyday.

She is doing well enough that we take her for rides in the wheelchair, Ky couldn't wait to do that.

Therapy went good she put the ball in all by herself. Great progress.And sat on her own.

I was able to put her own Pj's on her so it was good to see her in her own clothes. She is just resting from along day.

Cousins

This weekend jade's brohter came up to put some new counter tops in our kitchen. He brought his son Ty who is just a few weeks younger than Addie. We don't see him much so it was fun to have him for a few days. He and Addie were either trying to hurt each other or were best friends the whole weekend that's just how it goes sometimes. And Ty loves Ky he just follows him around. And wants to do whatever he does. Thanks for coming Ty.

Old Roomies

This last thursday I met up with some of my old roommates from Snow. It was so fun to see them. I haven't seen them in about 6 or 7 years maybe even longer. But anyway we met for lunch at Applebee's it was a little crazy because all 3 of us have 2 kids each and we brought them along to show them off, they did ok at first but towards the end of our visit, us mom's were about to pull our hair out. We decided next time to just have a girls day. It was great to see them and catch up. Thanks girls can't wait to do it again.

Creative Ky

Sometime's he really amazes me on what he comes up with. He is always wanting to make something just about everyday. He came to me and asked if we had any toothpicks and had me trace his hands on a piece of paper. Then he cut them out and taped toothpicks on the ends to make bear claws. Honestly I think he should become an inventor when he grows up. Who knows what he will come up with next.

CONGRATS Jade and Mac

Meet my new nephew Briten D. Anderson. Isn't he cute. We wish Jade and Mac the best. You are going to be awesome parents.

Ky and Addie thought he was pretty neat. We asked Addie where he came from and she said "he came from wal-mart".Cause thats where all her babies come from I guess. I thought that was funny.She also said" he is soooooooooo cute mom." When I told her that mac had him she said"is HE a girl." Ky wasn't so sure at first but after awhile he decided to hold him.

We have waited along time for him to join our family. And we are glad he is fineally here.

Easter Sunday

It looks like he is choking her but he isn't. We hope everyone had a great easter. Our's was pretty good. For the past 2 weeks Jade has been at a school for his job over at Camp william's .So he missed out on the easter morn,but while we were at church he came home for awhile and hid some eggs for the kids. We just relaxed for most of the day and had a great time with each other.
