Well, we had our first sports injury. Walker broke his arm last week at football practice. I still can't believe it happened!! I never broke anything (technically, I broke my nose in high school playing basketball, but it wasn't really that big of a deal), and hoped we wouldn't have to deal with anything of this magnitude this early in the kids' lives. He was so brave at football that it took us a good 10 minutes to figure out his arm was seriously hurt and we needed to get it checked out. I will never forget when we took his jersey off and had to lift his arm- he screamed bloody murder and unfortunately, I cannot get that memory out of my head. We went to Cook's ER that night, and they got us looked at immediately. They gave him a sling and about 3 teaspoons of Motrin. At Cook's After x-rays, they said it was definitely broken, and sent us home with a soft cast. I called the orthopedic office the next day, and they told us to come right in, that the doctor want...

Last year, we went to several Ranger games and really enjoyed that family activity. By the time the end of last season rolled around, the kids were starting to understand some of the baseball rules and concepts. I could not WAIT for this season to start, and that is officially the first time IN MY LIFE I have ever been looking forward to the start of baseball season. :) We have had some fun/crazy times this year at the Ranger games, and I really want to remember these stories!! First game of the year: We went with Peepaw and GG, and it was basically the prefect game experience. The weather was nice, the game was quick and efficient, and Lemon Chills were involved. Awesome! For my birthday, we went on a tour of the Ballpark. It was great- we all really enjoyed seeing everything. The kids really enjoyed seeing the dugout and the inside batting practice facility. Well, after the perfect game experience last time with Peepaw and GG, we should have known something would go wrong this time....
