Broken Thumb

Poor Teni broke his thumb this week (ouch!). He was playing with our folding chair placed infront of our computer and somehow got his thumb stuck inbetween the the hinge that connects the front and the back legs. Well... when Teni accidentally slipped and fell to the floor, the chair folded closed with Teni's thumb still inbetween the legs. To make matters worse, Teni fell on top of the chair putting all his weight on his already jammed thumb. His thumb was black and blue. An x ray was done and his doctor noticed a break in the lower part of Teni's thumb. He had to have his whole arm cast (as you can see) to isolate movement. Our whole family ended up signing his cast, which made him feel very cool. His thumb should heal in 4 to 6 weeks (I'm sure he can't wait).

Oh The Melt Downs

Teni had a pretty rough afternoon. He grew really upset when he realized that he had to share his toys with his cousin Fiti (bring on the water works). He didn't stop crying until it was snack time. Of course food didn't distract him for long. Once snack time was over it was play time and Teni started up again. I didn't feel bad at all, I just saw it as a great opportunity to teach Teni about sharing. I'm sure it will take awhile for him to understand but it is something he must learn.

Family Photos

We took family pictures this week and these are just a few that we really liked. Troy's mom was the great photographer behind the scenes and she did such a wonderful job. Hope you like them. Took us a while to print them out but here they are.

Under The Weather

Teni is walking almost running everywhere he goes. He is such a busy body but a great sleeper so I don't complain much. He came down with 2 ear infections and a pretty good cough. He is now on amoxicillin and tylenol for the pain. He is slowly recovering but is still very cranky. Hope he gets better, sooner rather than later.

I Love This Little Guy

We just came back from Hurricane and I caught this adorable picture of Teni while unpacking our bags. I thought I would share this with everyone. Don't let this cute little guy fool you, he is normally very destructive and not still for one moment. So enjoy it while you still can.

Happy Birthday Teni!

Teni Is The Big "1"

Today we celebrated Teni and Fiti's birthday in Hurricane at my parents home. We had a safari theme. Teni was dressed as a Giraffe and Fiti was a cheetah. Alot of family and friends came to celebrate. We had great decorations done by Janet and Lynnette. Food was cooked by my mom and dad. All my siblings were there for support and for food. I enjoyed visiting with everyone that came. We had Troy's parents and some of his siblings there. The turnout was great and it was just alot of fun. Teni recieved many great gift and got to eat his very own big piece of cake without me interrupting. He played so hard that by the time it came to eating he was already exhausted. Thanks to everyone who enjoyed this great day with our family.

Our 1st Home

What a great way to start off the year with a brand new home. We finally moved into our very first home. It took about 6 months from start to finish. There definitely were alot of ups and downs with building but we fought through them and now we have a beautiful home to go to. Our new address in 263 S. 800 W. Spanish Fork, Ut. We absolutely love the extra space and the spacious rooms. Most of all Troy and I have a huge bathroom with his and her closets(pretty cool huh). We are so excited to raise our family here and to meet our new neighbors. (This picture was taken in the fall of 2007. Sorry for the old picture but is was all I had.)
