Sammy has stitches!

Friday was a big day for us. It was our homecoming and the kids were in the parade. Amazingly, I don't have one picture of them! I spent my time running the video camera! Somedays, I sure wish I had 4 arms!
I am sure my best friend Jen will either send me pics or have them here. Jen to the rescue! Thanks Jen!!!

This is my dad's truck...

Sammy was throwing candy from the back and my oldest son was sitting in the passenger seat throwing out candy...


We had lots of fun at the parade, the 3 little girls sure had a blast picking up candy!


Annie got to ride her dad's horse in the parade and she sure thought she was big stuff! I am so proud of her.
This is a huge accomplishment to be able to handle a horse in a parade!

I am so glad that she got to ride in the parade and that Lucky did so well!

After the parade was over, Annie and Sammy went with their grandparents and Jason and I came home. About the time I was getting ready to go to the game and Jason had left for work, I got a call that Sammy got hurt from Diana, his dad's girlfriend!
My aunt and my mom went out to see if he was ok. Which, he was, but he needed to have stitches. My aunt brought him to me, my M-I-L came and sat with the twins and my aunt and I took Sammy to ER.

He was very brave, didn't even cry. First, they cleaned it, then they put stuff on it to constrict the blood vessels. After the TACK had time to set up, the doctor came in and with a very tiny needle, put 6 stitches in Sammy's forehead. I had Sammy hold my hands and my aunt had him count... he got up to about the 130's and the procedure was all done! Dr. Hemp even told him to come back anytime to be stitched he was such a good patient!

Since Sammy did such a good job, he got to go to McDonald's and eat. Once we got home he settled into the couch and went right to sleep. I think it was a big day for us all.
