 Miles got so tired!

 Twinkies and Cheetos, oh yeah!

 I promise when we started Miles had 2 shoes on.

Dean Achilles tendon injury and recovery 6/26/2016

While at youth conference, on June 25, Dean snapped his achilles tendon trying to run up a wall.

 Off to have surgery.  June 30, 2016

  With Braden and Hanna's baby being born 4 days before Dean go hurt, and Mike and Amanda and kids moving in with us just a couple days later, (Mike and Amanda had moved out of their Heber home, but still had to be in Utah for a conference), we had good reasons to have lots of visitors.(sorry I didn't get a picture of all of them)

Most of his days were spent out on the deck, or in bed watching movies with grandkids.

or in the recliner with his foot up on pillows.

 After 2 weeks of his foot up above his heart, it was time for the cast to come off.

 Now he would be in the boot for 4 more weeks, and starting physical therapy.

Dean hasn't been able to go to Montana until now.  With the boot, he thinks he can do everything!

 ...and just like that, he can walk again.  Amazing!  (He needs a lot of work on walking without a limp)

He is officially done with the doctor.  Now just a lot of physical therapy.

Fishing at Rockport 6-24-2016

Sometimes if I catch all the fish, I let my dad clean all the fish!

Yep, I'm still the fav!

Wild thing arrives 6-21-16

It's time for "Wild Thing" to join our family!

And there they go, off to the hospital.

 Livy and I hung out at Gardner Village, waiting for the text.

This is when I told her the baby has come out of Mommy's tummy.

"oh my gosh, Wild thing popped out"

Here she is saying "Yay, we should get him a treat!"

 Livy meeting her little brother for the first time.
