Nick and Holly's Family: January 2011

1-4-2011

So today has been interesting
My poor Kaitlyn was playing with a cabinet door. She shut the door, a little too hard, and ripped her finger nail out. I heard the door slam shut then Kaitlyn start to cry. I picked her up and got blood on my shirt, ran to the bathroom and let her play in the sink filled with water for a bit. It looks so bad.
I feel like a bad mommy cause I wasn't able to keep her from getting hurt.
I called the doctor and they want to see her cause baby fingers can get infected. The whole nail got ripped out. The quick is out and on top of her finger. So tomorrow morning I'll be taking Kaitlyn to the doctor where I'm sure she will cry and I will fight not to cry.
Fun stuff

Still don't have a working dryer and because it is a stackable that means that my washer doesn't work either.
Good news is the replacement parts should be here Saturday so I don't have to go the laundromat again.
The laundromat wasn't bad just cost more than I wanted to pay. I loved getting 16 loads of laundry washed and dried in 2 1/2 hours. Yes I did say 16 loads. My dryer has been broken for 9 days.

Christmas Eve 2010

Christmas Eve bowling at Boondocks with the Dragon's. So much fun.

Aunt Raylene and Kaitlyn.

If it weren't for the help of people like her I wouldn't of been able to bowl.

THANKS


Bryce Althouse, suck a cutie

Grandpa Dragon

Nick took a ton of action pictures that is what fallows

woo woo look at Uncle Brian go

That's my little man Matthew, when we could get him to stay he was a really good bowler.
Great Grandpa Dragon

Great Grandpa Dragon joined us for the 1st time this year.

Blake & I had a hard time figuring out how to get that ramp to work for us, the ball kept going to the left

Aunt Danica, look at that form! She could teach us all a few things.

Raylene so stylish with her yellow ball.Uncle Joe was unable to make it for bowling and we all missed him.

Uncle Adam, looks like you might do the splits at any second . Look at that leg swoop.
Aunt Brittany was in the hospital so we didn't get to have her with us. So sad.

Go Aunt Sherida, go Aunt Sherida, go Aunt Sherida go!!

Grandma Beckie with her pink ball, she had the same problem I did with the ball going to the left.
I blame the lane :)

I let Blake take a few pictures, this is one of them that turned out really nice. That's Aunt Danica, Uncle Brian, Uncle Tyler with Kaitlyn.

This is all of us out for a delicious lunch at Corbins.
As you can tell there is a ton of us (22 people).
It took a while to get drinks but I think they did a good job considering how many of us there were. Plus the food was so good.

THANK MOM AND DAD!!!!
