Garth Brooks Concert & Predators Game

The 3 Amigos are back together - with 7 kids (10 if you count our husbands) between us we deserve and night out together!  When I found out Garth Brooks was coming to Nashville, I knew I had to get tickets.  Ryan called Brittany, our Predators Rep, and had her score us some Lexus Lounge tickets.  There we had all we could eat and drink!  Good food, good friends and the seats weren't bad either!









Ryan went on his knee scooter and got around just fine!


A couple days later - and still free of kids - we all got back together and went to a Preds game together.




Ryan Breaks His Ankle

Church league sports.  Where grown men and women think they can still do the things they could when they were in their teens.  Someone always ends up hurt.  Heart Attack, bulging discs and in our case, a broken ankle. 





 During practice Ryan went to spike the ball and as he came down he landed wrong on his ankle causing some excruciating pain due to some torn ligaments and some broken bones.  He passed out a couple times before the ambulance got there.  They medicated him up really good on the ride to the hospital.  So good that it dropped his blood pressure really low.  But there wasn't any pain!




Making a trip to TOA to see Dr. Rungee and have x-rays and MRI's and casts put on.  


They twins came with us while Liam was in school.  They did so well!


 The bruise


The swelling


Dr Rungees beautiful drawing :)



I'm not quite sure who even won the tournament but it doesn't matter because we still had a good time.  Who wouldn't with the name Hope Dealers (Helping Others Prosper Eternally) 


Ryan's first cast had to be removed due to it getting wet during a storm.  Luckily we were able to get get in that afternoon and have it changed.  


He went from UT orange to Christmas Spirit!


He gets to spend roughly 8 weeks in a cast, non weight bearing.  Then four weeks in a cast with a shoe then hopefully to a boot.  Its difficult with 3 kids and being non weight bearing.  He is doing well and adapting to his situation - most days :P

Liam's Minecraft Birthday Celebration

I can't believe that this sweet boy is 6 years old already.  Time sure has flown by and I can't believe he is in kindergarten.  He chose a Minecraft themed birthday this year.  I painted the box heads myself. :)

Liam

We brought cookies and juice to Liam's Kindergarten class.  



While we were there we put up Mrs. Whites Christmas tree and took a picture to send to her! 



Liam opening his present from us.  We told him that if he started sleeping in his own bed we would get him a Nintendo Switch for his birthday.  It must has been worth it because he suffered through a couple weeks of being in his own room!  He starts out in his own bed but ends up in ours by the morning.  Baby steps ....






He chose to eat Mexican on the night of his birthday.  He loves him some cheese dip!


His brothers watching him play his Nintendo Switch.


Birthday Party Time!!!  I had Renee Taylor make the cookies - she ALWAYS does an amazing job!


Kathy Carney made the cake





Opening up presents



Eating out again a couple days after his birthday so we continued to celebrate with an ice cream sundae!


Liam, you have brought so much joy to our lives.  I cannot wait to see what you amaze us with next!
