Puppies-Bottom Braces and Stitches

I may be no good at kitties, but I AM good at puppies, look how cute they are!!

My trusty assistant-yeah he's pretty cute too!

The puppies are so funny they are starting to do all the little things that puppies do. "Play" with each other, bark, wag their tails, shake their heads, scratch their ears and escape from the kennel (not to bad though, they won't go far from mama.) They are 3.5 weeks old now, we better find good homes for them soon before we get too attached!

Yesterday was one of those days.  Presidency meetings, dentist appointments, Orthodontist appointments and football games and hardly enough time in between each to take a breath.  We were settling into the after school routine, of snacks and trying to get homework done.  I went outside for a minute to take care of the puppies, so Brody decided he could be sneaky and open the box that came in the mail.  I  heard screaming and crying coming from inside and not the arguing and fighting kind, the "something's wrong" kind. I ran in to find Brody's little arm (and everything else) covered in blood I grabbed a towel and tried to clean it up enough to see how bad it was...yup we're going to need stitches. : (

It wasn't a long cut but it was deep. He got two stitches, it looks to me like he could have used two more? No?

Ewww! Yucky! Sorry to gross you out.

I think he learned his lesson about playing with knives.

I was joking with the ER staff that my other son had a football game in just a little bit so I hoped that I wouldn't be back in later. Well after Brody got all fixed up we made it to Braiden's game only 10 min late!! Pretty good! We were in the second half and J was getting restless so I was chasing her up and down the bleachers I glanced up to see all the players on one knee (that means that someone is hurt) I didn't see what happened so I stopped... pretty soon #75 comes limping off the field, WHAT #75! That's Braiden!! ugh! He was fine, thank goodness, he got a drink, toughed up and was back out playing within 5 min. Gave his momma's heart a little start though!

Braiden got his bottom braces yesterday, he was excited because now he could do alternating colors, he chose orange and blue...GO Broncos!
