For the weekend we headed down to the 'OC' for a few days. Ty didn't have school on Monday, Steve had to catch a flight on Sunday, our friends Talli and Jeremy were going to be down there, we hadn't seen baby Grace yet and really we just all needed to get outta town for a little while. We are so grateful for Nana's house and were able to crash there.
Here is how the weekend went.
We left Friday, saw Grace for the first time and picked up the key to moms. Grace is super cute and Josh loved holding her. He is way into babies right now!
Saturday we headed down toward Newport, went to fashion Island, bought a few new spring items for Josh and Brooks and found some flip flops. Ate lunch with Talli and Jeremy and all the kids. Went back to their place to swim. The kids had a blast swimming and it was one of the most beautiful days ever. Perfect temperature, beautiful sunshine. It was great. Then we headed over to see a friend of Steve's that I had never met. All was going well, the kids were playing and having fun, the adults were visiting and then Whamo! Brookie fell and in her words it was a 'I'm not ok' fall. She tripped over a foot or a leg on her way into the kitchen. I guess she didn't have time to catch herself because she hit face first right on her mouth and of course instant blood. And lots and lots and lots of it. She wacked her tooth, split her lip on the inside and really did a number on herself. It was very traumatic and so sad. So the five of us headed off to spend a couple hours in the emergency room thinking for sure it would need to be stitched, but thankfully it didn't. She just has a turbo fat lip and some really sore spots on the inside of her mouth. (See pictures) This morning she is looking much better. I am so grateful it wasn't any worse. Steve and I decided it was great intro to us because what would it be like to not have something like that happen. HaHa, it never fails, just ask Kendra!
On Sunday, St
eve left and then we picked up Nana at the airport. We went to church, we went to dinner at Greg and MJ's and it was just fun. Then yesterday I drove home with 
the kids and we picked Steve up when he got home.

This is after our ER visit, it was very late, she was very tired and hungry and was trying to eat something despite the size of that lip!
She even managed a smile after all way said and done! Today she is still slightly swollen and very bruised. She also has some mean canker sores on the inside!!!

What? Swimming in February...NOT FAIR! We got like 2 feet of snow last night AGAIN. Ahhhhhh!
And poor Brookie's face. Um ouch. Poor thing. She sure looks cute though trying to smile.
It was fun to see you! Hopefully we'll get to spendmore time playing next time!
Oh, yuck! I am still dreading my first emergency situation with my kids. Doubt I'll be prepared and I'm sure my ER working husband won't even be around when it finally does happen. But, at least I know we'll get seen right away at Blaine's hospital.
I guess that's the quickest way to get Angelina Jolie lips. It just gives me the hebe-gebe's to think about a fall like that. She has had her fair share of teeth-face, run ins. I am sure you are thinking "enough already!" Although, she is one tough cookie! Hope she heals quickly.
Poor Brookers. I so love that little girl! Glad you had a fun weekend!
Oh, poor Brookers!! That looks sooo sore! Hope its getting better!
That girl is so accident prone! It'll be a wonder if she makes it to adulthood with all of her teeth!
Leave it to Brooky! Poor girl. She has had enough injuries to last her whole lifetime. She is too cute though. Asey says she misses Brooky.
