Memorial Day

 It is tradition that we always go to Brigham City with Rich's family to visit his grandparents and the cemetery there and then have a luncheon at his Grandma Smith's and this year was a dessert bar at his Grandma Penrod's.  This year, was no different... except for one event!!!

 A little trip to the E.R. with Jordan!!!

While in the back yard at Grandma's, Jordan, Cohen, Macie, and Rylan were all sitting on a cement pad blowing bubbles and a few other bigger kids were playing on a swing set next to the cement pad.  All the sudden, we heard a huge crash and SCREAMING!!!! Lot's of screaming.  All the adults ran to the back yard to find that the swing set had broken and the A frame side had fell right on to the pad where the kids had been blowing bubbles.  Luckily it missed most of them (for the most part), but the top of the A fell right on Jordan's head as he was looking down and blowing bubbles.  Every one of my kids were screaming, even the big kids because they had just been dropped in mid swing to the ground.  Cohen had been hit on the side and hip by the A frame, luckily Macie was just outside of the A and Rylan happened to be in the inner part of the A.  But then they brought me poor Jordan!  He was dripping in blood, literally!  I took one look at him and yelled "Richie!!!! Stitches!!!!"  We had to get directions to the nearest E.R.... which by the way is 20 minutes north in Tremonton!  So we quickly got everything together and the other kids under control and Rich, Dell, Jordan, and I set out for the E.R.  This was my 1st time for taking a kid to the E.R.!  He was a trooper!  He still had his big smile pretty much the whole ride and through the HOUR AND A HALF!!!! visit!  I thought E.R.'s were for emergency's!!!  We were the only one's there!  What the heck!

 Enjoying his "waiting" snack!

 Cleaning it out

 Sorry if it makes you queasy!  But here is the wound.

It was pretty deep and bad!

 The Dr. putting the staples in

 and there they are... 6 staples to hold him back together again!

And here is the swing set.  

Even with Jordan getting hurt, we are really lucky that that was as bad as it got!  

We're thankful that every one else was okay!
