It's been the running conversation for the past 6 mos or more that when she turns 10, she needs her own cell phone. So she got it. In chocolate cake form! :) Happy Birthday my dear...you can always count on us to get you just what you want! Know what else she requested?

He decided to try to stand on his sled and snowboard. It was his first trip down the hill. He broke it right below the shoulder. He was in a sling for a few weeks. The bones did not move out of place, so he didn't need a cast. Of course, this was the first winter we did not specifically tell the kids not to stand on the sledsmommeeof10https://www.blogger.com/profile/03611832953435781430noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-4732255176396931795.post-62795984504714804932008-05-27T16:58:00.000-04:002008-05-27T16:58:00.000-04:00Austin must be pretty artistic.

Is this his first broken bone? <BR/><BR/>I have 3 boys, 2 girls and the boys proudly announce all their injuries like they are a badge of honor. They actually keep track!

When my son had just turned one year old I tripped over his baby gate coming Down the stairs. I dove down and broke my wrist. I have a video of me changing his diaper with one hand ( and a foot).

My son broke his arm playing football with his buddies, and sadly his mean old mother told him to ice it and relax, no way was it broken...no swelling, no bruising...for 3 days! He was casted for just 3 weeks, shoulder to fingers. He fractured his distal humerus, (just barely above the elbow) He didn't complain too much of the itchiness, and no it really didn't slow him down.<BR/>Anonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-4732255176396931795.post-90868791847974657332008-05-27T01:07:00.000-04:002008-05-27T01:07:00.000-04:00I just wanted to say great job by Austin on the wi...I just wanted to say great job by Austin on the wings.
