Wow!! It feels like this summer is going by so fast!! I'm barely starting to register June and all of a sudden we're half-way through July.
So here's what we Jensen's have been up to....
Sami, Andy and I took swim lessons at the first of June. It was fun!! The kids love getting wet, and I discovered Andrew will snuggle if the water is cold ;D PLUS I wasn't the only prego mom there ... I was the only prego mom with a baby as young as Andrew. =)
Over the 4th of July Lance and I took the kids to Bear Lake to boat and whatnot with his family. It was fun, Sami loved hanging out with her 2nd cousins and playing with them on the boat and bunk beds and everywhere else. Andrew wasn't a BIG fan of the boat rides, he liked it for a bit but quickly got bored. We would've played in the sand and water more except the water was so cold Lance claimed he needed to go through puberty again after his first jump in. (TMO?) :D That Saturday we also stopped by the Woodruff house to help my cousins and siblings put up my grandpa's fence. It was fun but I eventually stopped trying to help at all when the guys just kept messing up my smoothing efforts over and over to get the fence even. :D Everyone worked really hard though and I'm happy we were able to do this for grandpa and grandma ... I just wish we could've come earlier and felt more useful. That Monday after we got home my sister planned a slip-n-slide BBQ at my parents house It was LOADS of fun!! we had lots of good food and good company and the kids always love getting wet and watching fireworks. We did have some drama getting there since Lance and I found a kid who fell off his bike and was having seizures in the middle of the road. Luckily Lance went and got my mom while I stayed with the boy and we got the paramedics there fairly quickly. Scarey thing!
The next weekend was my families vacation to Moab!! We rented cabins down there and had a blast (for the most part). We went 4wheeling, to a chuck wagon dinner and show, and did some sight seeing at hole N the rock. The kids loved the petting zoo (even though it was more of a feeding zoo than petting.) And although it was hot and the pregnant lady on the trip got cranky it was a fun trip, EXCEPT for: Bed Bugs in Shay and Kyle's cabin, scrapes, bruises, black eyes (Haylee) and Andrew burning his hand on the 4wheelers. (UGH)!!
So for our next family vacation I propose we avoid anything that might result in someone having to do all their laundry or months of physical therapy at a burn clinic ... yes?!? (I will definately be watching my little monkey a LOT closer from now on.) Thank goodness uncle Clay was paying better attention then mommy and stopped Andrew's hand from burning any more!!
I'll post more and keep you updated on little Roo's burn progress. But here are some pics for the summer thus far ...
ENJOY!
At Andy Roo's last Burn Clinic appointment the Doctors and nurses were all VERY VERY impressed with his progress. They had us set up for another hour of therapy and a surgical consult. But when they came in and looked at his hand and the progress that he's made in just a week they shortened our therapy and called off the consult. He's not done yet but we don't have another appointment for 10 days!!! and they're letting two of his fingers be unwrapped now. One more and we'll be in the clear!!! They're very hopeful that if we increase his physical therapy and stay on top of keeping it clean that there will be no need for any surgery or skin grafts. So keep your fingers crossed!!! :D
