Eventful Sunday

OK well this happened last Sunday i am just slow at getting my blogs up. We had a good day at church came home and Kenzie Jackson and Braxton were all playing on our big bean bag. I guess it fell over and kenzie landed on Braxton and Braxton started screaming. I just figured he got landed on and nothing more but he kept on screaming and screaming for about an 1/2 an hour and that is not like him to do that. So Ashleigh and I took him to the instacare down the street. Luckily it was a slow day for them and there was nobody waiting in front of us so we got in pretty quick. Braxton was still screaming the whole time and my heart was breaking cause I couldn't do anything to help him. They got x-ray's from him he did not like that but they got three pictures of his arm.
The nurse came in with a splint and splinted his arm up and said the doctor will come and talk to you but we are pretty sure it is broken. Needless to say the doctor said he was 98% sure he fractured his elbow.
I made a follow up appointment at PCMC fracture clinic for Wednesday. The results are that he indeed fractured his elbow and now he has a blue cast on which he picked out the color. He has to wear it for a month, which is really hard considering we like to going swimming, and have water fights. Not to mention difficult to keep him clean they said he has to be sponge bathe but i just have been wrapping it in Saran wrap and plastic bags, and been giving him a shower other wise I think he would be looking like a ragamuffin.

Laurie Ann Madsen

I met the Madsen 7 years ago the first few years was really hard for me because of a lot of misconceptions about me. So I was pushed away for awhile. But through out the years I got close to them and loved them as my own family. About a months ago Laurie and I had a really nice conversation about when I first started dating Tyler, and how she felt about me, it was really hard to hear someone say things to you about how she felt when she first met me. All because of lies that where told about Tyler and I. She told me that she never felt that way about anyone and how hard it was on her cause she lived to be like our Heavenly Father. Tears were flowing between me and her. I am glad that we were able to talk about it so there was no doubt in my mind the love that she had for me. The best part of the conversation was when we were able to get it all out in the open and she apologized for ever hurting my feelings and was hoping that I would be able to forgive her. Of course I do. It opened a door way for us to become closer. She said that I was like one of her daughters. Which I am so blessed to be apart of there lives. The hardest thing now is that we finally were becoming close and that I new I could come to her for anything.
3 years ago Makenzie got hospitalized and Laurie was at her bed side with me everyday. watching her and reading to her. The day we got told that Makenzie needed a Heart Transplant was the day I got the call from Laurie saying that she has lung cancer. My heart dropped even lower hearing double bad news. She told me that everything was going to be ok and to take care of Makenzie. Ever since then those to girls did everything medically together. Laurie got sick Makenzie did also. Laurie got Hospitalized, Makenzie got rejection. So I hope it ends there.
Last week was a really tough week for us all It was really hard watching someone you love pass away right before your eyes taking there last breath. But through out the week most of us were at peace with her passing. Laurie fought a hard and long battle of cancer laying in her bed for about 2 years trying everything to take of herself. But always held her head up high and put her faith in the Lord. She was defiantly a angel here I am so blessed to have been apart of her life. She will be missed. I am so thankful for Eternal families and I know that Tyler and I will strive to live up to her expectations so we can see her again.

Super dupper Day

Today was a fun day Tyler was off work so we had family day all day. We went up to Silver lake up in Little Cottonwood canyon and walked the board walk it was a perfect day to go hiking it dropped like 20 degrees from the valley to the mountains. driving up A wasp flew into the van and hit Jackson in the neck and scared him to death but luckily it didn't sting him he was able to squish him with his shoe.
We finally got up there and there was still snow on the ground, Jackson was crossing a snow bank and of course he slipt and fell he didn't get hurt but it was funny.
While we were walking along the board walk We saw chipmunks, so the kids decided that they were Alvin Simon and Theodore. We also saw fish in the lake. It was a nice walk.
On the way back a huge bug flew into the van again and this time scared Makenzie and I mean scared her she was crying and after Tyler got it out she told us to keep the windows up and don't ever role them down.
We then got some Ice Cream and had a Barbeque with Uncle Neal and Jerica and after the guys took the kids on a bullet bike ride it was a perfect day spent with family.

Fathers day

I have not posted anything for a while so I figured I should talk about Tyler since it was Fathers day and he is the Father of our 2 beautiful children and his 2 other beautiful kids. Tyler is a very good husband and father even though he Love's watching TV that is his relaxation time he still finds time to wrestle with the kids and run around with them even when he has been at work from 7 a.m to 7 p.m. Or when I am sick he lets me stay in the bedroom and sleep or just relax even if he had a a 12 hour day at work he will come home and watch the kids for me while I try and get myself better. He will also run out to the store and get me sprite and crackers or what ever I need to get feeling better.
He is a great provider who allows me to stay home with our children while he goes to work and school so he can make our family financially OK. Even if it is coming home from work for a few hours then off to school for a couple of hours. It is defiantly hard on him and us to not be able to see him a lot through out the week but he knows that what he is doing is important for his family even if he really does not like it.
I am so thankful that I was able to find him and get married to him and sealed as a family with him. I am so happy that I was able to get married to my best friend. He is defiantly the best husband and father for me and my kids. I don't know to many husband and father's that would work all day and go to school and still find the time for his kids and time for me to take out on a date. He is defiantly our Super Hero.
I don't tell him often how much I appreciate all he does for us but I really do I am so thankful that I am able to stay home with my kids thanks to all his hard work I love him with all my heart. Happy Fathers day

Loving Life

I decided to start a blog about my family, I have one for Makenzie but I want one for me to just blab and tell you how my family is doing and growing.
I am a wife and a mother of 2 I have been a stay at home mom for 3 years and love ever moment of it i could never imagine going back to work.
My husband is going to college to become a nurse which is a good profession considering we are at the hospital a lot. He is doing an amazing job and has a few more semesters to finish his generals but he is on his way. We are all rooting for him.
Makenzie is 4 and will be starting kindergarten next year so I have a year to figure out if I want to home school or send off to school. She is an amazing daughter that has been through a lot she had a Heart Transplant at the Childrens hospital in Denver at the age of 16 months we have spend a lot of time at Pcmc and Denver Hospital but you would never now it.
Braxton is 2 turning 3 in September and he is a bright child just like Makenzie he is learning the alphabet he knows the alphabet song. I am teaching him to identify the letters so far he knows A-F so he is on his way. I love my family they are the best.
