Just Call Me Clutz!

yes, just call me clutz. last month it was my foot, and now i've broken my arm!!! we were supposed to feed the missionaries thurs. night, and i was busy hurrying (like always) and kaden had left his video game on upstairs (he was gone to football practice)...the stupid song playing over and over was driving me crazy and so i ran upstairs to turn it off...while running back downstairs to put the rolls in the oven, i slipped on the stairs and came crashing down onto the slate tile with my arm trying very unsuccessfully to brace my fall...instead i broke both bones in my arm! i even heard them crack! it was awful and the most pain i have ever been in!!! worse than having five babies!!!! tomorrow morning i have to have surgery to put a plate and screws in my shattered arm bones. yuck. at least it is my left arm. and on the bright side, i don't have to do dishes for a while! i think this is my lesson to quit rushing so much and just slow down...

here are happier pictures of some of the cute kiddos this halloween night...


last weekend my sister lisa came in town to celebrate jena and justin's wedding at a reception here. we had a great time...
