Ouch!

We rented a small car to drive to Rexburg to save on gas and wear and tear on our car. We stopped in Hermiston to pick up our car that was parked at Bel's house before dropping off the rental there in Hermiston. Bel and Chris weren't home but that was ok because we were just picking up the car. 
When we got there Chris's mom just pulled up at the same time to check on their dog Mako and water plants. She asked if anyone wanted to go in to use the bathroom. Tyler said he wanted to go in and drop off some comic books he had borrowed from Chris. He went in while we were moving our things from the rental car to our car. Minutes later he came out to me and said Mako jumped up at him and accidentally head butted him and asked the cut on his lip was bad. 
I looked at it and asked "Did he bite you!" He said he didn't think so. As he was talking his lip kept bursting open and I said it looked like it'd need stitches. I asked him again if he was bit. He was afraid to say yes because he didn't want to get Mako in trouble because he'd bit another teenage boy in the mouth who ended up with stitches as well. As Tyler told me what happened he was shaking. The adrenaline running through him causing the reaction. He was so shocked when it happened he dropped his phone and went out of the house not even leaving the books behind. 

You can see right under the nose where a tooth poked, and the chin where a bottom tooth got him then when the mouth closed down the teeth connected and sliced through his lip. 

We stopped at urgent care in Pasco so he could get it checked out. I was right, stitches were needed. Poor baby. Had a shot to numb his mouth but I know those shots hurt. He helped Jaime's arm to squeeze as the pain surged through. 

Three stitches. The dr did say we could take him to the ER where a plastic surgeon would be able to stitch it better and make sure the lip line lines up but Tyler didn't want to go do that. He wanted it over with. However, it looks like this doctor did a good job stitching it and aligning both sides of the lip to keep the line even. We will see how it looks as it heals. Hopefully in the years to come it'll fade enough it'll barely be noticeable.

Time in Arizona

Image
Night swims!  Laying out in the sun during the day!  I like coming to Arizona because the evenings it's still warm outside that we can be out playing and having a good time but not sweltering hot. The days are so hot but it's great to be out poolside and then dip in the pool to cool off.  Koda has picked his person between Marty and Diana. He likes to follow Diana when I'm not around. It's cute that she likes him too.  June 26th  Keeping up with our goal of going to the temple to do baptisms every month this year! Tyler has wanted to go to the Mesa temple since we came to the Easter Pageant. We made it happen this month. It was great that Christy dropped off Makaela so she could join us.  Every time we go someone comments on our boys. They're such good kids.  Handsome boys.  After the temple we went to spend the day at Darin and Christy's. Christy provided a yummy lunch and we enjoyed catching up with her and the girls. And spending time with thei...

Happy Father's Day Jaime

Image
Breakfast for Jaime. Banana pancakes, bacon, hash browns and OJ.  Aidan and Tyler wanted to make cookies with Jaime for Father's Day. I thought it was such a sweet gesture. Olivia was a bit bummed she couldn't be here for it as she feels it's been a thing for her and Jaime to make chocolate chip cookies together. I told her she's here in spirit. The kids all called Jaime to wish him a Happy Father's Day. We need to enjoy these last few years of having kids home for these smaller holidays. Before I know it we won't have any of them here for them.  P.S. Can't believe I didn't get a picture of Jaime with the boys!

Promptings

 I went to the temple today to do an endowment session with my Aunt Laurel who is visiting and staying at my parents for a few days. Mom and Dad were leading the session so it was fun for all four of us to be in there. It was a very full session of women. There were 31 women and 8 men! 39 of the 40 seats were full. I've been in sessions and lead sessions that had 42-46 people (folding chairs were brought in to accommodate after 40). But never have had this many sisters.  I used to have such anxiety going to the temple. So nervous about remembering what I was supposed to do and say. Being a temple worker definitely has helped ease that now that I know what to do and say more easily. It makes it so that I can focus on the words more and not stress about what's next. After I crossed into the Celestial room I had the overwhelming feeling of how happy I felt. The thought came to my mind, "Being prepared makes such a difference." I thought yes it does! I felt better prepare...
