Bryant's Broken Hand!

So two weeks ago on Saturday morning Bryant came in from playing basketball down at the church and said, "What time does the Urgent Care open?" I told him I didn't know and asked him why. He then held up his hand and this is what I saw:


Of course we made a very quick trip to the Urgent Care for X-rays and sure enough he had broken his hand. It was the bone just underneath his pinky finger. So they soft casted it and told him to see an orthopedict specialist sometime during the next week so they could hard cast it. So on Tuesday he went to the orthopedic specialist and they told him sorry, we can't cast it it needs surgery! I couldn't believe it! Evidentally where he broke it was so close to the joint that it didn't leave enough bone on one side to fuse it back together. They told him it needed surgery and they were gonna have to put a pin in it. So the surgery was scheduled for last Friday. Here are the pics of him waiting to go into surgery:


The surgery only lasted about an hour or so and he came out of it fine. He took pain medication for the first few days, but then was back at work Monday morning. He had to stay at the job he was working on (a movie theater) until almost 1 in the morning because it was taking him so much longer! Oh yeah, I forgot to mention it was his left hand and he is left-handed. So he will have to wear the hard cast for about another 3 weeks (we hope is all). The pin is actually coming out of his hand and comes out of the top of his cast a little bit. You can't see it in the pictures, but it is pretty weird. Here are some pics of him with his cast:


He hasn't let the cast get in his way that's for sure! The day after he got it he made a few "alterations" that allowed him to use his thumb more freely! He will go see the doctor this Tuesday, so I will let you all know what comes of that!

The Worst Blogger EVER!!!

Seriously, I know I am. I check everyone's blogs every day, but I don't EVER update my own! AHHHH...I'm sorry. I promise to do better. So here is a brief overview of our life over the last couple months!

Bryant has been busy at work as usual. He is a very hard worker and continues to do so even after his little "accident" two weeks ago. I will give that experience a post of it's own after I am done with this one. He received a new calling at church, actually two callings. He is the Assistant Scout Master and also something else that I can't remember the name (it has to do with scouts and tracking the boys' progress). They are both really big jobs, so it should be interesting to see how they fit in our already crazy schedules!

I have been just typing typing typing. It seems that's all I do anymore. I really do love it though and love the fact that I can stay home with Hunter, yet still bring in some money each month. My mom, Brigette and Beau were just here for about 10 days (my mom was helping me with our business taxes) and I loved seeing that cute nephew of mine. He is seriously so cute I can't get enough of him.

Chandler stays busy with school and friends. He is starting to get to the age where he is getting phone calls (from boys and girls). I can't belive he is getting so old. How is that possible that he is aging and I'm not??? Haha.

Kayden is playing baseball right now. He is such a natural athlete. He is so fun to watch. He reminds me a lot of watching my brother Michael. It just seems that whatever sport they try, they are a natural at. Kayden is doing really well in school also.

Hunter is such a holy terror!! Haha, okay maybe he's not that bad, but he definitely keeps us all on our toes. He is going to preschool for about another month and then starting in July he will be going to Kindersteps which is like a half-day kindergarden for kids that have a late birthday and miss the kindergarden cutoff. He will still attend all day kindergarden in the 2009-10 school year. He loves school so I am excited for him.

Well, that about sums up our lives lately. We are just running around all the time and of course have our cute puppy Nash in tow. He is such a sweet dog and we all love him to death (Hunter almost literally loves him to death). I will post more pictures of Nash soon, he has gotten big (well as big as shih-tzu's get). Anyway, thank you all for keeping your blogs updated, since I am such a slacker!
