Better days

Friday afternoon JS got his cast! He was really excited to pick out the color. He went with Ninja Turtle green. Oh, i'm so surprised. We arrived at the doctor's office thinking that he would only be in a half arm cast because it was just a bow fracture. However, when we got there, they had reviewed his x-ray and found that not just one bone was broken, but two. They ended up putting him in a full arm cast. He is actually doing really well with it. He whines sometimes when it hurts, but he's doing really well.
Friday night, we went to Grandma house to practice two songs that the kids sang at little Carter's graveside service. The kids sang "Families can be together forever" and "I am a child of God". It was really good. They were all so cute. I was proud of them. The graveside was really good. Uncle Bart gave a really good talk where he expressed his love for his kids, and told them how much he hurt for them, just like they are hurting for little Carter. He also bore his testimony of the plan of salvation.
When I came home, I had a PACKAGE!!! I was so excited! Wendi (dancing queen) sent me some GOOD MAIL!!! It was perfect timing. I was feeling sad, and disappointed, and then...there was a good friend who knew I needed something good to happen. It had life savers in it, and a girly girl mix of awesome songs along with a really nice note for me. I was so happy!! One of the girly girl songs is a new song by a girl named Colbie called Bubbly. It's so funny that she put that song on there, I have heard it several times and thought about little Carter every time i've heard it. We listened to the CD all weekend.
We drove to Beaver, UT to see Steven's Mom and Dad this weekend. The boys all went hunting and the girls stayed home and rested. It was really relaxing, and exactly what our little family needed. We got home late last night, and i'm glad to be home.
Little Tori is doing really well!! She had a central line put in on Saturday, and seems to be doing better. She is still fighting her battle real hard, but we are grateful for the time we have spent with her. She's such a special spirit. Thank You to everyone for your advice, prayers, and stories of hope that you've sent. I love having blogging friends!!
Now if I could just get JS to stop climbing up on things and jumping off, everything will be okay...
