My bad mommy moment



Ok so the day of Eclipse my kiddos had been out playing in the pool in the back yard. SO not a big deal good summer activity right? Right when sunscreen is involved which unfortunately in this case it was not. I had some running around to do and when I got home the kids were in the pool. When they finally got out Nelson was extremely red. Still i thought no big deal he has been burned before put some aloe on him and he will be fine. Little did i know how wrong i was. The next morning Nelson work me up saying he had something on his shoulder. Ok he had a little blister again I wasn't overly concerned I have gotton burn blisters before and survived. He was running around and acting like they didn't bother him so i didn't think I needed to be concerned. I had some running around to do when I got home then i got concerned. the Blisters had doubled at least in size and he had a bunch of smaller ones surrounding the bigger ones. I took him to urgent care with him and Me in tears. The doctor told me it was second degree burns. Wow did I feel like the world's worst mother. I felt horrible and extremely guilty about this. I am usually very careful especially with mr. white boy Nelson when it comes to sunscreen and I am off my diligence for a day or two and this is what happens. I was absolutely distraught over this. The nurses could tell and they tried to comfort me as well. They told me he was going to be fine and it would be okay. They then put some cram on his shoulder and wrapped him up and told us to come back the next day. When we did go back while his shoulders were still very red and still had one big blister the little ones on both shoulders had reduced greatly and the doctor looked at the big blister that hadn't popped in the night and said since it was clear he wasn't concerned about infection. Boy was I ever relieved to hear that. He then told me that i could start changing the bandages at home so he prescribed the cream for me.
With in a few days he was doing so much better and well on his way to a full recovery. And both Nelson And i have learned our lesson about sunscreen.

Eclipse


Bethany Sorensen and McKenzie

So on June 29th Ken, Kenzie and I joined a bunch of friends at the movie theater in Yuba city to wait to get in to see Eclipse, the 12:02 showing. It was a lot of fun. This was Kenzie first midnight showing and she loved it. She was so excited when I told her I was taking her. It was great having Ken there as well. We had a great time with the PAtino's , Chance's ,Sorensen's, Knudson's And Laura Keith and Tina Bond.
We all enjoyed the movie a lot! Of course as one who has read the books a few times. I can say that there are some discrepancies but that is to be expected. I still like the books better but I really enjoy the movies a great deal I can't wait to see what the next movie will be like.
Good times, good times.

Good-bye Carr Family

Dave, Jenny, Eliza, and Hannah


Ok so the pool party was not the only reason called us together. It was one last hoorah with everyone before the Carr family moved to Colorado. Needless to when the afternoon was over there were not to many dry eyes.
Kenzie's best friend is leaving and while i didn't actually see her cry at least not that day. She did cry when she heard Dave got his orders. She locked herself in her room for a little bit. She doesn't like to cry in front of others.
While we are going to miss the Carr's i am happy for them. I know they have been wanting to back there for awhile. We will just have to keep in touch and I will have to find a way to send Kenzie out to visit at some point.
