The summer has been full of adventure! Sometimes little boys can be too adventurous! Preston's accident happened at church! His head came in contact with a choir chair hymn book holder on the stand- right before sacrament meeting started. Not just any sacrament meeting either... the primary presentation sacrament meeting, where Laura was conducting the music.... These things always happen at the most convenient times! Luckily, Nana and Papa were there to help! THANK YOU! After just a few minutes, we got the bleeding to stop, the crying under control, and Laura back to the Primary presentation...whew. Never a dull moment! Preston's eye is healing nicely, we are just grateful it didn't get his eye...literally millimeters away. Someone is watching out for him! Thank Heavens. 
Now, for CJ's story! We had CJ's accident at the school yard! They have really great equipment at the school, so before school started, we took a special trip over to play - we even rode our bikes! And...wouldn't you know it....we weren't there 5 minutes and CJ is on the black top, face down on the pavement. Blood everywhere, screaming... all we have is a sippy cup of warm water, and our bikes...! So, grab the boys, put them in the trailer, run over to the nearest friend's house, ask for some ice, then pedal like mad all the way home, with a screaming child in the back...he finally passed out right before we got home....whew...poor kid had a huge fat lip for quite a while. Then, later that same week CJ was riding his bike and a big kid lost control of his skateboard and plowed right into him...knocked him off his bike and reopenned the wound....but CJ is a tough kid...after a little ice, he hoped right back on that bike of his and wanted to ride all the way home (even with crooked handlebars - they got twisted in the crash.) It took a little longer to get home, and mom had to refrain from laughing because it looked so funny with cockeyed handle bars...but he was determined nonetheless. When we got home, mom felt real handy and accomplished when she got out Clay's tools and fixed those handle bars, lickedy split! Go Mom!

YAY, new posts! I love them. We have one almost just like this one on our blog!! Those crazy boys- bumps and bruises just seem to find them. So glad you guys are doing well. Andrew got home last night from survival- he said Spokane is so pretty! I think we'd like to visit it someday, maybe without eating bugs and getting interrogated?
