Collarbone update, yes, we do have to put in every detail.

Lando went in for surgery to fix his collarbone. The first step was an IV.

He had a hard time with pain afterwards and he spent the night. He did really like the bed though, he could call the nurse, turn on and off the lights, raise his head or feet, and turn on the TV with just a touch of a tiny button right under his hand. He only had to move one finger.

He liked getting a couple of care packages from his sisters and treats from friends and another season of the Office from his parents.

He got to take the bandage off after five days and this is what was underneath!

Pretty big battle scar. Stitches out on Friday. I won't blog about it!

Northstar 2010, Landon's Downfall

So here we are very excited for our ski trip to Northstar. I couldn't wait to show Landon the great trails, especially the rollers on Jiboon!

It's a perfect day, warm, sunny, no lines!

On the lift, so excited!!

Sunscreen on!

On our fourth run, ready for Jiboon....and suddenly, we are flying down the slope and..we hit hard bumpy ice.

It is all over for Landon. Lucky a guy who works at Northstar was right behind us and new the number to call. We only had to wait a few minutes for our rescuer.

Landon is the third of the kids to get a ride down the mountain in the sled. Chad and Landons rides were for the reason they have sleds...an injury. Kaley's ride was "just for fun" and being too little to go to the top.
Kinda funny that both Chad and Landon broke their collarbones at Northstar...

Away they go with me following behind.

In the Northstar urgent care.

This is probably where they make most of their money. There was a guy in the next bed with a badly broken wrist. We almost cried when they had to put his bones back in place. It's hard to hear a grown man whimper.

The X-ray's,

because the bones are so displaced. Landon will be having surgery Monday and get a plate and 4 screws. Do you think he'll set off the buzzer at the airport?

After treatment, trying to smile...on pain meds!

DAD'S TOYOTA

"What could I a big person possibly do with a Toy Ota?"

Love the non-boring color! And it has a dark charcoal interior.

It came with Bluetooth through the stereo system. When someone calls, He just has to hit a button on the steering wheel.

Did i mention it also has 8 stereo speakers.

Pretty Sweet !!!

This is where Dad parked the car, his new car is that tiny dot in the distance...and he took over my garage space!

As seen from his office..where he can keep an eye on it.

The infinity is 9 years old and has 175,000 miles on it. It is making an interesting noise and is more expensive than a normal car to repair, and seems to have more exotic things to go wrong with it...so it is now semi-retired. And by the way, when Mom rides in the new Camry she looks extremely "sexy" !!!

Why I Love living in California

It's the middle of February here in California and these are some of the sights I see everyday.

I pass this cool camellia tree everyday on my way to pick up Landon.

Also on my way is this tree. I think it is a magnolia tree and the flowers are as big as my hand. I seethese trees all over the place right now. Wish I had one!

In our back yard.

Magnolia again!

Our tree from the window upstair!

Just took this picture out the car window...it was just too pretty to past up!

Yup, I love it here!

Yellow isn't usually my favorite but when you see this on the side of the road it's pretty amazing.

So I do have a few reason for living in California!

BRIONES CREST LOOP HIKE

Saturday, Denny, Landon and I went on a hike called the Briones Crest loop. It was suspose to be 5.6 miles and take about 3 hours....unfortunately we didn't complete the loop as intended. We took a wrong turn and ended up in Pleasant Hill about 3 miles from the car. OPPS!

It was beautiful and 70 degrees in February.

This is our lunch spot and maybe where Landon from poison oak.

Why am I always ahead of everyone and is Landon calling for pick up?

Cute little salamander we saw.

POISON OAK & LANDON

A hike in the open space is just not complete for Landon anymore until a couple of days has passed and he starts breaking out all over in Poison Oak!

These pictures do not do it justice. It has been red and weepy and oozy!
He has had to wrap his arms in ace bandages to keep the pus off his clothes and other people.
Sweet Kaley won't let him anywhere near her or anything she owns!

Did I mention that he is on the volleyball team and has to use these arms to hit the ball?

Nasty!

When will he learn to not roll around in the bushes?

BIRTHDAYS!

KALEY IS 19!!

It is hard to believe that she is so old and grown up. For her birthday I took her to the movie, Dear John", the 11:00 showing. Denae and family came over for dinner, cake and presents. The next day she and I went to Wicked (yet again). We did the lottery and had very good seats because when the lights went down we moved over almost to the center. It was great!

Denae provided the cake topper, rated R.

Dustin is 22!

He was home with Moriah the weekend before his birthday so we had birthday/engagement cake!

I had mailed all his presents to Provo:(

22 candles was too much for that little cake!

Happy Birthday!
