Just some updates.....nothing too fancy.

I just have to add one more funny thing that Bryan said the other day. He came to me with his fingers stuck in his nose and asked, "Why do I have these two holes?" He was totally serious and I was chuckling at his funny question. So I told him that is how Heavenly Father made our noses and he was okay with that answer.

Sunday (yesterday), was a bit of a hectic day for us. We had stake conference in the morning and I had to be there early to accompany the choir. After a wonderful conference we went home and I fixed a quick taco lunch before Barton had to head to the airport for a trip to Nashville for work meetings. I had a 3:30 meeting with the stake primary presidency for some training, so the kids were on their own at home. I had my cell phone on silent so as not to interrupt the meeting if any calls came in. About 5 minutes before the meeting was over I thought I should check my phone to see if I had received any calls and decided not to because I was in the front row and didn't want to seem rude. As soon as "amen" was said for the closing prayer I pulled my phone out and saw that there was a voicemail message that had been left exactly 5 minutes before. I quickly dialed and listened to Nathan saying that Bryan had fallen down the stairs and hurt his wrist pretty bad. I hurried home and found Bryan had been well taken care of. The boys put ice on his wrist and propped it up with a pillow. I took one look and knew it must be broken because he didn't want me to even touch it at all and he was very whimpery and there was some swelling. So off to the urgent care clinic in Broomfield we went. Luckily we beat the crowd that seemed to follow us in there and didn't have too long of a wait. The x-rays showed that it is broken....possibly both bones. Thursday he will be getting a permanent cast as he only has a splint while the swelling hopefully goes down. He is a little trooper and has hardly complained about it hurting. He is hoping to get a red cast but says he will get blue if they don't have red!
