Broken Arm

Our first broken bone... (and I'm pretty sure not the last) 

Cruz decided to pull a spiderman move on the playground at recess last week and climb to the tallest point on the jungle gym.  He ended up losing his balance and fell right on his wrist breaking his radius bone and fracturing his ulna.  Poor punkin had a very eventful day.  We raced him to the new St. Anthony ER by our house.  Unfortunately, there was no orthopedic doctor on staff there so we were transferred to the downtown St. Anthony Hospital.  And O no, we couldn't just drive ourselves.  They require all patients being transferred to ride via ambulance.  So needless to say after an ambulance ride, an IV, having to get the arm re-set into place, hours of waiting, and finally a temporary splint, we were sent home.  Cruz felt much better the next day because his BFF Brodie brought him a ballon and candy, Chief brought over donuts, chocolate milk, and a new movie, the Blackburn girls brought over cookies and a sweet card, & Nana came to visit with coloring books and candy!!!  Lucky boy!:)

OU Football Season officially kicks off!

We count down the days until OU Football season starts and this year since the first game was away, we didn't technically start celebrating until game 2.  We tailgated all day in full force with all our friends and family and rooted the Sooners to a victory!  Such a fun time!!!

Newport Beach with New Friends

We had the opportunity to join some friends (and to meet some new ones) in Newport Beach over Labor Day Weekend.  If you have not been to this part of California, I definitely suggest you go!  The people are so friendly and inviting, the weather is gorgeous, and the scenery is to die for!!!  We enjoyed golf (well I enjoyed golf from the cart while sipping wine and enjoying views of the ocean!), lazy afternoons at the pool, fun dinner spots in Laguna, and mingling with a fun new crowd!  Garrett and I had a blast!!!

Cruz's First Day of Kindergarten

First days of school are so happy and sad at the same time.  I'm so happy that my little chubby baby has turned into a sweet, spunky 5 year old who is self-sufficient and confident but I'm sad that the baby/toddler phase of his life is over:(  Anyhow, he started kindergarten this year.  His teacher is Mrs. Williams and we love her so much already!  Cruz has homework 3 nights a week and is already learning more than I could have imagined for a 5 year old!

Smart Boy

My loves...

Big Boy Undies:)

We are working extremely hard to get Jett potty trained by the end of the year.  You see, we will be taking our annual Campbell family vacation for 10 days and the boys will be joining us this year!  I would LOVE LOVE LOVE to not have to pack 10 days worth of pull ups if at all possible!  He has started to get very excited to wear big boy underwear like brother does:)  Wish us luck!!!

Baseball Wrap Up

This years summer baseball league was cut short!  Games and practices were cancelled left and right due to the extreme Oklahoma heat!  We did, however, have a blast at the few games we did get to play!

Jamaica with the Allen's

We had a wonderful week long vacation with our good friends, the Allen's in Jamaica!  None of us had ever been there so we were totally excited about the adventure!  Jamaica is the most relaxing, layed back, and peaceful place I've ever visited.  We swam in the calm ocean, sun bathed, read books, and drank fruity cocktails most of the time we were there!  Great times with great friends!

I AM A VERY BAD BLOG MOM!

So I've been a total slacker with my blogging this summer!!! I will do my best to catch up and keep up this time!  As you can tell from the next 12 million posts, we've been very busy!!!

Color Me Rad Run for Emery!

Miss Emery officially has a fan club! There was huge group of family and friends that turned out to run in the Color Me Rad 5k yesterday which benefits the Cystic Fibrosis Foundation. We had a blast running and getting filthy dirty for such a dear cause.
