Catherine's cast and 4th of July

On Friday, June 18th, at approximately 9 am, Catherine fell off my bed and broke her arm. I was sitting right there with her and Lauren. I play the scene over and over in my head on how I should have prevented it, however, it is what it is and she now has a darling pink cast to match most of her wardrobe!! She is such a champ and was so great during all of it and still is. The cast will come off on July 28th, but it is waterproof so there is no stopping us from having fun this summer, as you can see from the pictures.
Over the 4th of July weekend, we went to Bear Lake with Randy's family. We had so much fun despite the freezing water! Saturday we were on the boat and the girls loved it and especially being with their cousins. We played in the sand and beach, went swimming in the pool, and Lauren went down the slide and swam in the water all by herself. (life jacket on of course) She is really getting independent. I have to remember to let her do that, and make sure I give her wings to fly, and be prepard for a few falls. Anyway, it was fun.

These are Catherine showing off her cast! she'll never remember this even happened, so I have to have lots of proof!



This was taken right when she got home from the hospital with the temporary cast on! Still all smiles!


Daddy and Catherine at the pool.


Lauren braving the freezing temps of the lake. She kept going in too and coming out shivering so bad. All we had was Randy's shirt to put on her when she came out too. Bad planning on my part!
