Broken Nose, Broken Heart, and Broken "Pee-Pee"

Nothing that playing in the dirt can't fix!!!!!



My cutest buddy is having a rough time. He fell and bonked his nose last weekend, and I took him to the doctor today and he said that he probably broke the cartlidge, but it will heal on it's own. So his nose and eyes are all black and blue (can't see it in these pics--but of course my sister Julie came all the way to st george to take pics just in time for the bruised face--so you'll be able to see them on her blog!)
Then, while we were at the doctors, he heard a heart murmer. Which, he was born with but no doctors have heard it again until today.
AND THEN, to top it all off......his poor little "pee-pee" didn't get circumsized right, so the doc had to push and pull and squeeze (and ya, not fun) and rip apart his little thing and then told us we needed surgery. Poor little buddy, he keeps pointing down there and saying....."ow...pee-pee"....so sad.
So......re-telling my mom and dad on the phone today about his appointment....we realized.....he has a broken nose, heart and "pee-pee". How do we make everything better.........PLAY IN THE DIRT WITH TRUCKS!!!!! I love my buddy. He is so special to me. He loves his momma, and I'm so thankful for his little smiles, and his faces when he's trying not to smile! I love how "all boy" he is...and how dirt, tractors, dogs, and his BYU hat, just brighten up his day! I SURE LOVE YOU BUD! Don't worry, your broken nose will heal, your murmer will most likely go away, and your "pee-pee" will get fixed and be the best lookin one out there (they really told me that!--girl toddlers--get in line now for a date when he's older!) but you're mommy, the dirt, your tractors and Sparticus the dog will always be here when you need us!!!!!!!!

I Love America!!!

So, the past couple of days I've experienced some wonderful things! One was watching the Biggest Loser. I have watched a couple seasons, only a couple because I try not to watch it because I know once I do I'll get hooked. That has already happened this year--Brian and I were watching it the other night, and oh my goodness...tears were flowing. This show just gives me good feelings, and while I was watching it, I had hope in America and the good people living here. There were people doing such nice things for each other. Then, if anyone else saw it...the end was so heartbreaking. I have a hard time watching/seeing elderly people, because I just want to hug 'em and I always worry so much about them. If they are okay, if they are getting takin care of....oh they break my heart....anyway....that was a tear jerker.
Then, today, my mother-in-law called me and told me to turn on the TV, that a plane had landed in the Hudson River.......and miraculously everyone was okay. I was listening to these announcers talking about what a miracle it was, and how quickly everyone responded, like the boats getting there 2 minutes later to take people to shore. It amazes me how quickly we all unite when there is a crisis. I found myself tearing up watching the breaking news reports, probably because it's always such a good feeling seeing something so shocking like that, and knowing that God's hand was definitely present, and that everyone was okay, and so many people were helping.
My husband has also been reading about our American history, so we've had conversations lately about how lucky we are to live here, and how much our ancestors have done to get us here. We are so lucky.
And I don't know how anyone can live in America and not know there is a God, just turn on your TV and watch the Biggest Loser. or read about that plane crash. And God Bless America.........and our Economy!!!!!!!
