Mircale Memory Monday 20-25

MIRICALS
On Thursday night before boating Brianna told me she was a little scared to go boating Friday. She was afraid the boat would run over her. I told her that if she wanted to stay home that would be no problem. On Friday I was driving down to drop the kids off, and I felt like I needed to tell the kids how much I loved them. So I said kids do you know how much I love you. They said yeah lots your letting us go boating with grandma. I laughed and said no really I love you so much I hope you know this. After what Brianna said I was a little worried, but not worried enough to not let them go. I know that there are angels watching out for us, but I felt it again t on Friday. Dave and I had to meet with a financial planner, so my mom offered to take Kyle and Brianna boating. They had a blast. Farrah was bringing them home in her car. She had just called to tell me she was on her way and that they had the best time ever. I recived another call shortly after that and I could hear all of the children crying and screaming. She said Melanie we have been in an accident can you come. She said she thought everyone was ok and that it was on the rire highway. Time stopped I could not get out of the house fast enough. My babies were in an accident along with Farrah, her kids and Emily Dodd. We got down there to see both cars totaled. Farrah waited at the stop sign and proceded to pull out, she did not see the car coming and got hit right by her door. The other car was going 55-65 miles an hour. Farrahs car must have spun in circles and the impact of the crash turned the front passengar seat to the side, and made the car buckle at least 2 inches. The kids were all ok. Farrah was 20 weeks pregannt and on blood thinner, but she was so concerned about everyone else that she did not tell the officer about her pregancy. She is always thinking about others. She had a towel on her arm and I pulled it back to see cuts all up her arm she was hiding them so the kids would not be concerned. After all was said and done dad took her to the hospital to get her and the baby checked out. She did have glass fragments in her arm, her ear was cut about and inch, she had 4 ribs out of place and a concussion. One side of her body kept going numb, they do not know if this is from her medicine or concussion. She has headaches sometimes where her body goes numb. But she came home from the hospital about 2 a.m. Saturday. She is healing and we are so grateful and feel blessed she is ok. Brianna woke up that night dizzy and proceeded to be a little disoriented. She threw up about 7-9 times. (Some of it could have been from the boat ride and hot taquis.) But I am pretty sure she had a concussion also. Her eyes were glassy a little and she kept saying she was tired. On the way home from the accident Kyle and Ethan were talking and she could not stand the noise. She could not explain what was going on with her in the middle of the night and she just felt dizzy. The next day she was doing a lot better. But could not handle things like jumping on the tramp, swinging etc. It made her dizzy. So the miricale is that all in all they are ok. The lady that hit them was drunk and went to prison with her 4th DUI and 2 counts of child endangerment. While the accident was not her fault. I have to wonder if it could have been avoided had she not been drinking. It also made me sad to find out that she was drinking, because she had 2 little kids in her car. One of the children stopped breathing when the accident occured, they got the child breathing again. Enough about the accident. I felt like Dennis and Laurie were watching over my little family. I especially felt it when we were driving to the scene of the accident. The guy that witnessed the accident said it is a miricale that people were not more hurt. I know that we were extra blessed. I feel so grateful that the kids were ok. I am especially glad today to know that Brianna is doing better and so is Farrah. I love my family and extended family so much.

Potty Training Kameron- I know Kam is almost 4 but this last year has been so crazy that I have not gotten to the potty training. So this week we decided to take it on. He did pretty good. He was proud to wear his underwears especially Wally and decided that every piece of clothing had to come off every time he tried to go. So we let him cruise the house in just his undies. All of the kids were great cheerleaders and after he filled the first sticker chart we went out for a doughnut party. When he gets excited he says ha ha. Love it.

Naomi- Was pretty entertaining to this week. We were minutes from having someone come and look at our house. I had everything perfect. The front door was open while I finished the last touches. Naomi appears at the front door happy as a lark. She had found a mud puddle and was covered from head to toe. We quickly cleaned her and was able to leave before the showing. Brianna and I decided to make cookie dough on Sunday, when Naomi convenitally woke up from her nap at the same time, she set down on the couch took my bowl and spoon away from me and with the biggest smile you have ever seen proceeded to eat the cookies dough. It was the best day ever for her.

Kyle- had a great week, he brought mom in flowers, Bud our neighbor and him brought me red potatoes, carrots and onions. It was so good. He went boating with mom and dad and played on the dock the whole time. I guess he loved it. Trucks are his favorite thing, on Monday he got to buy a new Cars the movie truck with his own money. He is such an example for Kameron. He is also very good at figuring things out. We had to rent a car since mine is in the shop from the accident, it was a brand new 2011 Dodge Caravan. Kyle new every button to push and how to get the doors open and every gadget on the car in minutes.

Brianna- I look at her and am at awe how bueatiful she is and how quickly she is growing up. She loves to be Na's mom and if Na's cries and I do not get there fast enough she is there in a heart beat. She really gave us a scare after the accident, with her head but she seems to be bouncing out of it and getting back to normal. Grandma said she loved riding the tube behind the boat and that on a scale from 1 to 5. Five being the hardest ride she was riding at a five. Little dare devil. She loves board games and is just fun to be with.

OUR HOUSE SOLD!! Ok so we have to officially wait for the inspection and a couple of other things, but we put it on the market last Tuesday and by Friday we had an offer. I have not meet the people interested, but she is a teacher and he works at walmart and they have a baby. They weren't planning on buying a house quite yet, but they walked through our home and made an offer a couple of hours later. We are so excited to have someone love it. But we are starting to think we are crazy for saleing the house before we know were we are going next exactly. I guess we like to do things all backwards. Honestly Dave and I just felt peacful about the whole decision, so I know that things will work out. For now we will pursue building and look for a temporary apartment.
