Ouch!

While at this cabin with Kent's family, we decided to go on a little horseback riding, trail ride. Kent was back at work so I left Sadie with Kent's mom and Andy came with us but went on a walk with Kent's dad while we went riding. About half way into the ride, the horse in front of me moved off to the side of the trail a little bit and gave a very powerful kick with his hind leg going straight into my leg. Luckily I was able to keep my horse calm and pull it over to the side but I new immediately my leg was very broken. It took about 3 hours to get to a hospital. My tibia was completely broken in half. I am now part robot thanks to a plate and 8 screws in my leg to stabilize the bone. I was told I couldn't walk for 12 weeks. That is a long time with a 4 and 1 year old. My family took the kids back to Cali for a month since I was unable to even get out of bed at first. They come back tomorrow. We are sooo excited. I still have 8 weeks til I can walk and hopefully everything mends properly. What a summer!

Summer Fun

Summer started out great this year. We went to California for 3 weeks. Those weeks were awesome and jam packed with fun.


Andy is obsessed with Killer Whales so a trip to Sea World was in the agenda. Andy could have starred at Shamu all day.

Sadie was not happy when Shamu got her wet. She acted insulted, so after that we tried to stay out of the soak zones.

Besides Sea World, we spent lots of days at the beach, swimming in the pool, playing with friends and family, and eating some of our favorite California foods.


Sadie is definitely going through an awkward phase with her hair. This girl LOVES the beach.

No trip is complete without cousins, cousins


California was quickly followed by a trip to a cabin with Kent's family.


Andy loved the fire pit, flying down the zip line, fishing, riding bikes, and of course, more cousins.

Sadie loved collecting rocks and going down the slide.


Unfortunately this trip was cut a little short. . .
