Bad Break...

I don't know what it is about my two oldest kids, but they have both had the misfortune of breaking the same arm (the left on both), twice! Zach broke his when he was 5 and went a week before mom and dad realized that it really was broken, oops! The second time was two years ago right at the beginning of baseball season. Luckily, his coach talked him into trying to wear his mitt over the cast, and what do ya know, it worked! He was able to help his team out and be the pitcher for the season. That one was a doozy and was a 5 week cast.
(Broken arm #2 -sorry no picture of #1, wasn't in the mood to scan picture)
Hayley on the other hand, broke hers the first time 3 years ago while trying out her new Heely's. She was afraid of having a broken arm so she insisted it was not broken, and mom and dad were convinced until a few days later when we noticed she was still favoring it. A bright pink cast made her not so afraid. The second time happened last night when she flipped over the handle bars on her bike when little bro Ty, cut her off. She somewhat convinced us that it was okay again, until this morning when we were pretty sure she broke it again. So, after church, mom and dad took Hayley to our favorite Kids Instacare in Layton, whom I am sure almost recognize us, and spent two hours there, waiting to find out the same....broken. This time she sported a lime green with blue stripe cast! Can't miss her! I just hope Justin and Tyler don't repeat this tradition (they seem to lean towards the plastic surgery/stitches on the face). That's another tradition that needs to end!

Holy moly - another broken arm? I must say - that striped cast is stylin'. I hope it matches at least one new school outfit!

Actually, Missie, I wish I had a picture of her today. She wore a white Aeropostale shirt with blue and lime green writing. It's like they were made for each other!

With 4, if it's not one thing, it's another! What I have to look forward to...I can't wait.
