Surgery is a 98% chance

About two weeks ago Josh went and played football with some friends from church. About 45 minutes after he left I got a call from him saying he was on his way to the emergency room. He thinks he may have torn something in his knee. The emergency doc didn't do much for him except tell him he has to wear this huge brace and use the crutches. He gave him so vicadin for the pain. Josh was then told he had to set an appointment with an orthopedic specialist. We finally went and saw the specialist a week later. Which was this past monday. The doc told us he thinks he tore his ACL and it's pretty much a definite that he will need surgery. He doesn't have to use the crutches anymore and he got a smaller brace that allows him to move and bend his knee a little better. He isn't in much pain which is good. He had an MRI monday and we will find out the definite results on new years eve.  Till now he is on the waiting list for surgery and we are hoping he will have that done the end of January or the beginning of February.  But, till then that is all we know so I will keep people updated. 

My HUGE little boy

This past week Payton fell down the stairs and got rug burn on his nose and mouth. It looks a lot worse in person, but it is getting better.

His new favorite thing is to climb on the rocker and then onto the counter. The thinks its fun to sit in the sink.

Thanksgiving fun with Family

We had such a wonderful Thanksgiving week. This year we hosted Thanksgiving at our house. Josh's parents came, a brother with his wife and three kids, another brother, and his youngest sister. We had a good time with everyone here. We played lots of games and ate lots of food. The house was busy, but the kids all had a really good time. We had tons of food. We went to the Bass Pro Shop on Saturday because they had Santa there and they had free pictures with Santa Clause. After we went to Ghirardelli for ice cream. It was so fun and the kids loved it.

Payton playing at the ice cream shop...kids find the weirdest things to entertain themselves.

At the Bass Pro Shop they had games and coloring for the kids

They loved taking baths in the big bath tub

Payton thought he was so big sitting at the kids table. He only fell off once then learned how to get up and down on his own after that.

My handsome little man is growing so fast. Isn't he just the cutest ever?
