MY FOOT

for those of you who know me well this won't shock you. YES, I am sooooo clumsy, have been all my life. I was always the kid walking around with crusty knees (yuck) I wasn't really into watching were I was going, fell down a whole lot not much has changed HAHA!!! Well for about the last month and a half I have had some pain in my foot. I waited until about 2 weeks ago to go to the Dr. (yeah, I work in a hospital :) she instantly put me in one of those boots-Yes, all the way up to my knee-UGHHH, we did an x-ray and there are no broken bones but she thinks I might have a tear in my tendon!!!! I FINALLY go to get my MRI on Thursday to see what is truly wrong with it.......I tell you what, 2 12-hour shifts and then two 8 will kill you WITHOUT a boot on-I think I might die.....my foot hurts...............OUCH,OUCH,OUCH!!!!!!

Matt has been jokingly calling it my "sympathy boot" until this weekend, when he saw me take it off and said " Geez honey your foot is really swollen" Um, DUH!!!!!!!!! Hopefully we can get this taken care of before going to China!!!!! My boot is open-toed....LOL!

Our Family

Here is a picture of our Family. We are just waiting for Skeeter and then we will take another one. :)

Aleaya and Cousin Audrey painting

Dont even ask why my baby is wearing white :) not the smartest move on Momma's part.

Here is Grandma holding baby Emmerson. What a cutie pie.

FAMILY

My Grandma is here visiting from Pennsylvania. We drove to Vancouver to visit my little brother's family, his new addition to the family is Emmerson Rae Haney. She is the cutest little thing you have ever seen. She looks a lot like my little bro when he was a baby. We had a good time and the girls had fun playing together. They only had a few disagreement's :) you know, that SHARING thing is tough when you are only 2.

Sami's moving in

We found out this weekend Sami is moving in!!! I'm going to have a 16 yr old in the house...YIKES, no, really we are excited and feel this is the best thing for her. We joked about never seeing her again after buying her a car for her birthday in July(ofcourse, THIS was Matt's idea NOT mine, way too scary for me) Aleaya can drive when she is 40 LOL!! but now we will be seeing her everyday....Aleaya loves her sister so much and will be soooo happy to have her here!!!
