SADIE vs DOOR

Saturday night Sadie, Mike and I had great fun spending
4 hours in the Primary Children's ER...
NOT :(

Will played Futsal at 7:00 Saturday night at an indoor soccer place on 1300 South. I was watching the game on one end of the court and Mike, Jake and Sadie were on the other end. I get a phone call from Mike he says, "Em, Sadie has smashed her finger in the bathroom door." Me thinking its not that bad tells Mike to just take her to an Instacare and have them look at it. Well Kristine was sitting by me and tells me that one of the parents on Logan's teams is an ER nurse and to bring Sadie to the other end to see if it does need to be looked at or if we could just clean it and take care of it ourselves. They walked in the north entrance where we were sitting and the nurse was like....UMMM yeah, that looks pretty bad you should probably go right to Primary Children's and have them look at that. We sent the boys home with the Little's and Mike, Sadie and I headed up to Primary Children's. The whole way up there Sadie was crying saying I don't want stitches...UMMM Sadie pretty sure you're gonna need stitches. She also was saying why couldn't this have happened to Will or Jake or someone else? Pretty much common for people to think at times when bad things happen that they wish it could have happened to somebody else, but usually they keep it to themselves. Sadie was such a trooper. She was so brave. Her finger was broken in two spots and she had to get 7 stitches. They said she will have to wear a splint for about 2-3 weeks. The good thing is the stitches they put in are dissolvable. Sadie was really concerned about stitches because one of her buddies Allie had stitches in her lip and she told Sadie that it hurt really bad to get them out, so we were relieved they will not have to be taken out. Thanks a ton for the texts, phone calls and gifts friends and family brought Sadie. We are so lucky to have such great people in our lives. It sure made Sadie feel good knowing people were thinking about her :)

It was sure nice that NEVER say NEVER was on...
it made Sadie feel a little bit better :)Numbing the finger.After they numbed the finger. For most people it would be a good thing that it was the left hand, but not for Sadie, she is a lefty. School work is going to be a little difficult for the next few weeks. Way to be such a brave girl Sadie.
We LOVE you!

OLY JR. WRESTLING

Jake just finished his wrestling season with Olympus Junior High. They started practicing every day the 1st week of January for 2 hrs a day and yesterday was their last tournament. He said the workouts were a killer...much harder than football. He really enjoyed getting to know the boys on the team. I am always so impressed of the dedication and drive our kids have. He had some great matches and not such great matches. Way to stick with it Jake and keep your commitment to the team.

PRESIDENTS CUP

Will played in a tournament in St. George over Presidents Day weekend. It was fun spending 3 days and 3 nights there. Mike stayed home to watch Jake in a wrestling tournament (we sure missed them), so it was just Me, Rachel, Will and Sadie that went. We stayed once again with the Little's in Holly's parents home. What a great little getaway. It was CRAZY how many people we saw there from Salt Lake. Will's team played 3 games (2 losses and 1 win).
Great job BLAST!

SADIE'S BAPTISM

Sadie had her baptism last Saturday. It was such a great day. Rachel was part of the program and gave a talk on the importance of baptism. Sadie celebrated her special day with lots of friends, family and even her teacher from school. It was such a nice service and the spirit was very strong. We are so grateful for Sadie's decision to be baptized. After the baptism we had a little get together at our house with family and friends. Later that day we took the kids downtown to eat at the Garden Restaurant in the Joseph Smith Memorial Building. It was so fun to sit at the table and look at the temple while we ate. What a beautiful setting for such an important day. After our dinner we went and toured the Beehive House. None of our kids have been through it, so it was a fun thing to do together as a family. What a great day of celebrating :)

I was even brave enough and bore my testimony in sacrament. It was a pretty big deal, since I RARELY do this. I just had to tell Sadie publicly how proud we were of her and her decision to be baptized. I also wanted my children to know that I have a testimony of this gospel and that I am so grateful to have it in my life. I couldn't imagine raising our kids without the gospel as our base. We as parents, need all the help we can get :)We LOVE you Sadie!
