July....2010...so far....

This July has started out with a REAL BANG!!! The last night in June the boys were helping Matt throw the hay bales on to the hay elevator....when poor Cooper got his middle finger caught in it somehow, nearly cutting it off. I didn't see it until we got to the ER, and when it was revealed, it was a sight to see.... there it was dangling....not something any mom wants to see her poor child going through. Cooper was one tough guy, 4 big numbing shots, and 10 to 14 stitches( the Dr. lost track) Sewed it back together, good as new, well we have a long road ahead of us to see the FULL recovery, but we are hope full! He's done great with the pain, and it seems to be healing nicely. We then decided to for go the 4th of July activities at the Park, and take a drive to Logan to see OLD EPHREM'S (grizzly bear, the boys love to hear about) GRAVE. We've talked about seeing this for a while, the boys were very excited. Well, it was a long road trip, stopping 5 times along the way for Cash or Cade to go to the bathroom, but we finally made it! The monument stands 9ft. 11 in. the exact measurement of the size of the bear....YIKES...glad I didn't meet this guy anywhere in the mountains! Boys had fun..... I tried to dismiss the hellish chaos that comes with 5 boys, and enjoy the time as a family!!!
