I Fought the Law...

How many of you know the song I Fought the Law and the Law Won?
I'll give you a sec to get the tune in your head.........................

Got it? Ok, so sing it with me,

I fought the law and the law won, I fought the law and the law won.

Ok, let's change the words a bit...

I fought the bike and the bike won.

Sing it with the tune yet again.

I fought the bike and the bike, I fought the bike and the bike won...


OUCH!!!!!!!!!!
Went for a bike ride the other day, all the kids and Curt on his bike, and me walking with Thad in his stroller. Anyways, we don't get very far at all (for those of you who knew where we lived in Iowa, take it from the top of our driveway to the end of 58th Street before turning onto Grand, that's how far) Kotah somehow fell. We aren't 100% sure how. Curt was up riding in front, then Kotah, Gavin and Skylar, and of course me bringing up the rear, VERY rear! :O) Curt came riding back to me and we started to say something and we both look up at the same time and see her on the ground!
At first she REFUSED to get back on to ride home, but me being the good parent that I am, forced her back on! :O) Curt took the stroller with Thad and then Gavin and Skylar and went on for a little bit while I took his bike and Kotah back to the house to get her cleaned up.
We get back to the house and I realize I don't have keys to get in, I am like, oh great, seriously! Then I remembered that the kitchen window was open, so I opened the screen and picked Kotah up and up she went in! Thank goodness a cop didn't go by! :O)
So after I took some pics I clean her up! She is fine and back to riding her bike! In fact, the next day, we all went for a bike ride again and we all did fine! We are thinking of investing in football helmets for all the kids instead of the normal bike helmets! Might come in handy!! :o)




Thankfully her teeth are ok as well! These are her permanent ones and we were worried about them, but they seem to be ok! Whew...

Here is what she looks like now... Getting better, but boy do I feel bad when people STARE at her out in public!!! I wanna put a sign on her shirt saying "Yes, I fell off my bike, Yes I was wearing a helmet, STOP STARING!" I am so thankful she isn't self conscious about things like this, yet! It is starting to scab over, so as long as she doesn't pick it, I am thinking it won't scar to bad!


This pic is from Saturday. The accident was Friday.

Poor little girl. That must have really hurt. Hopefully it will heal really fast.

Whew...

written 4-7-18 Wow! It's been a while since I"ve blogged...  Crazy fun times around here!  :) We had a BIG EVENT for our church Friday night.  It was awesome!!!  All about where we are and what we need to finance our new church building we are building!  We were to take a card and pray about a number and donate for the building fund.  It was a FANTASTIC awesome night to say the least!!! Curt and I have been praying about a number that God wants us to give.  We both feel a number, we can't afford.  haha...  We really can't afford anything because we still have 2 adoption credit card bills we are paying off.  God has blessed us and given us what we need each month.  But we want to give, and adding it up and looking at our budget and writing it all out, it's not there.  Nothing is there!  But that's the way it was with adoption!  We took that step of faith! So that was Friday...  Saturday morning went to kettle bell class and I died...  I honestly haven&#

Ultrasound

First of all, thank you ladies for all those sweet comments you made on my last post! How sweet you are for saying those things! Made my day!!! :O) Second, went for the ultrasound on Monday and everything is fine! WHOO HOO!!!!! No more placenta previa!!!! The baby weighs about 2 1/2 lbs, and everything looks good! We took the kids with us so they could see their baby brother/sister, they LOVED it!! Gavin was FULL of questions though! What's that stuff she put on mommy's belly? Why do the lights needs to be off? I only see one eye. Where's the other eye? What was that, is that his hand or leg? Oh my.... ;o) The tech ended up putting up a 4D on the screen, so that was really cool to see! The cord was kinda in the way, but I still think it was awesome! I didn't have that with any of the other kids!!! :O) Maybe the trick is taking 3 other siblings in to see the 4th!!! ;o) I also only gained a pound, which I am trying to figure out, seeings how I pretty m

North or be Eaten...

Wow what an AWESOME book!!!!!!!!! I don't know where to begin, so I am just going to write the "preview" from the back of the book! ;o) North or be Eaten is by Andrew Peterson and this happens to be the 2nd one in this series. First the found themselves On the Edge of the Dark Sea of Darkness. Now they must make their way North! Or Be Eaten... Janner, Tink, and Leeli Igiby thought they were normal children with normal lives and a normal past. But now they know they're really the Lost Jewels of Anniera, heirs to a legendary kingdom across the sea, and suddenly everyone wants to kill them. In order to survive, the Igibys must flee to the safety of the Ice Prairies, where the lizard-like Fangs of Dang cannot follow. First however, they have to escape the monsters of Glipwood Forest, the thieving Stranders of the East Bend, and the dreaded Fork Factory. But even more dangerous is the jealousy and bitterness that threaten to tear them apart, and Janner and his siblings mus
