Presley's Big Fall

So last night I had a huge headache and stayed home while Bry and the kids went to eat at a friends house. I put Maryn to bed and came out in the living room and sat on the couch. As I was sitting there I heard Presley crying outside and I figured she tripped on her way home. Bryan walked in the door holding this inconsolable 4 year old. He laid her on the couch and showed me her back. It took everything I had not to freak out. I immediately called the after hours nurse at her Dr.'s office and told the what had happened and asked what I need to look for if she had done internal damage. Bry was at the dinner table so we only know what happened by what she has told us. She said she was climbing down off a bunk bed and fell onto a wooden drawer on the floor. She said she was so scared because she couldn't talk or breathe, so it had knocked the wind out of her. Bry didn't even recognize her cry when she came out of the room because she still hadn't caught her breath. Poor thing was soooo upset. We iced her and cuddled her and I was a little paranoid so I had her sleep in my bed so I could check on her frequently. Anyway- she couldn't wait to show her teacher at school today her big owie. She is such a funny kid. And this has nothing to do with it, but I want to document it. Bry made fudge and Presley loved it but she could remember what it was called so all day today she has called it something different....Fidge, Bidge, Budge, chocolate stuff :) Here are pics of her back about an hour after the fall.

Presley's BIG surprise !!

So I was probably way more excited about this event than she was, well not really, she was really excited too. Last week I saw an advertisement on TV for Disney Princesses on Ice to be at the Energy Solutions Arena in SLC. I went online and tried to get tickets with no luck. I call a couple of ladies in our quad that have girls around Presley's age that would enjoy going too. So Saturday morning Leah and I ran down to Smith's grocery and bought tickets for thursday night. We decided not to tell the girls and to keep it a surprise. I didn't even hint about anything until 30 minutes before we were going to leave I told Presley to go pick a princess dress to wear that she and I were going on a date. She chose her Cinderella dress. We got in the car with Leah and her daughter Debbie and we drove to SLC. We stood all the girls outside and then told them where we were going. They were all so excited, Presley however was the only one screaming and jumping up and down with excitement. We had awesome seats, which were actually for the handicapped patrons but they sold us tickets to this platform and the girls had a ton of room to move around and wiggle. So here are some pics from our night.

This is supposed to be the last pic...they were worn out

October...

Alright I have been a super blog slacker. Presley has been doing great in school. She has learned to write her name and some of her numbers. She fell on the playground and hit her nose pretty good. The teacher said it bled pretty good and it was swollen for several days. We took her to the ENT to have it checked out and make sure it wasn't broken, not broken just pretty bruised. Knox is a wild thing. He cracks us up daily. He has been climbing up in our lap and hugging us and saying " I love you too mom (or dad)". Maryn has been growing too quickly. She is now 2 months old and getting to be a pretty smiley baby. She is pretty mellow unless she is hungry or hasn't pooped in a couple days. So weird, I have never had a baby not poop all day everyday. She weighed 10lbs 1oz at her 2 month well baby. Bry has registered to take the LSAT in Dec so we are getting ready to start the application process for law school. My pitching lessons start up this week and I will be working out of a new warehouse, so we will see how that goes. Thursday this week I am taking Pres on a mommy/daughter date to Disney Princess' on Ice. She has no idea and I am soooo excited!! I am going to pick her up from school on thursday and bring her home and tell her to pick out a princess dress that we are going somewhere special. When we go out in the quad 3 of her good friends with their mommies will be ready to go to with their little girls not know where we are going either. I can hear the excited giggles already !! I told Bry to take Knox to Monster Truck next time it is in town for his special date :). Alright- Here are some photos-
Halloween we went Trick or Treating at the single student dorms...We knocked on a door and a girl held out a bowl of lollipops, and Knox says "I already got one of those" so he wasn't going to take one, but the sweet girl dug thru it and found him a piece of chocolate, He was winning everyone over ! And one of the latest Presley ism's- Bry and I were cleaning out our storage closet and the kids were into everything ! Finally I say "Ugh, we can't get anything done with you guys under our feet and into everything !" Presley says..."Well maybe fercause you shouldn't have had kids mom". What a Nut and what do you say to that ? Really ?! Alright really here are some pics :)
