Dislocated Elbow

Last Friday Holland tipped over and her elbow dislocated. She cried for hours and mom tried to move it around, but ended up in insta-care all day with all 5 kids fighting and mad they couldn't go swimming. The doctor tried to twist her arm up and bend it to pop it back in over and over again, but ended up casting it for the weekend. Donny popped it back in Sunday night by twisting it down, then bending it. Yea!! Happy Holland again and Happy Mom that she doesn't have to wrestle all the kids another day at the doctor's.

Homemade Boquette

A wonderful grandma in our ward invited Myriam over last week to pick flowers from her flower garden for the Relief Society room. She decorates the church each Sunday with her homegrown flowers. Myriam came home with her own boquette and was in heaven!

Summer Reading

Myriam has taken off this summer reading. She is obsessed with the Children's Book of Mormon. She literally reads hours each day- I keep catching her read it when I think she's playing. Here she is "caught in the act." Sadie is also reading the actual book of mormon. She turns 8 next week and she will have read the entire book this year! She is currently in the Book of Ether. Her aunt Sophie is racing her.
