Weird!!!!!

For the past year I have had pain on my left foot, under my big toe. It mostly happens during exercise, or when I am standing for a long period of time. I bought new tennis shoes which helped ease the pain. As the shoes got older the pain came back. Well, I went to the orthopedic surgeon today and he took x-rays of both my feet. I found out that I am missing a bone on my big toe. This is called "congenital absence of the tibial sesamoid", this is an infrequent ocurrence (very rare). We have two sesamoid bones in the big toes and on my left toe I have only one. I was also diagnosed with sesamoiditis which is inflammation and swelling around the sesamoid bone. The doctor said that this condition causes your toe to turn closer towards the other toes. I am so glad to know why I was limping everyday after going to the gym. Now I need to have physical therapy on my foot and if that doesn't work I will wear an insert in my shoes when I work out. This is so weird that Brent laughed at me. I was kind of sad at first, I don't know why, but now I think it's a little funny. It is very painful though, that part is not funny. It hurts to walk barefoot on the tile floor so I bought these comfortable sandals that I wear all the time. So weird!!!

Happy Father's Day!!!

Happy Father's day to the best daddy in the world!!! Here are some pictures of Brent with the kids opening presents. Alison is not in the pictures because she was sick.

This is a bookmark made with Conner's footprint, it is so cute. He made it in preschool and it has been hiding it in his closet, patiently waiting for Father's day.

Young Womanhood Recognition

Today during Sacrament meeting Alison received her Young Womanhood Recognition and many Seminary Awards. We are so proud of her, she is a great young woman and a great example to us all. As we were driving home from church out of the blue Conner said, "today is a great day". He is such a sweet boy. Also today our wonderful daddy made us Ranger Cookies, so delicious. Thank you daddy. I am so blessed to have the family I have.

Surprise!!! They are engaged!!!

Last night Brittany came in my room and gave me the good news that she was engaged to Bronson. We are happy for them, Bronson is a great guy. Here are some pictures that I took back in March.

Seminary Graduation

Yesterday was Seminary graduation. Congratulations Alison!!!!!

Last day of school and first day of summer vacation

Yesterday was Conner's last day of Pre-school. He was sad, he kept saying that he wanted Thursday to be his last day of school. I guess that is his way of saying he did not want it to end.

Today Parker went to Disney World with his friends from church and so Conner was bored at home so went to the park. I just happen to have my camera in my purse. He loves to have his picture taken.

Parker's 7th grade award ceremony

Parker got the "Everest" award today for having the highest grade in Geography. He had 103% in the class. The teacher said she had never seen anyone get such a high grade in the class. Last year Parker got the same award for 6th grade. I guess he really likes Geography. Great job Parker!!!
