Yet Another Ethan Update




Jon wanted his mom's meatloaf for his birthday. It's an interesting recipe with a breaded crust.

Guess who's an 8 !!

Ron's afternoon adventures today included him falling out of a trailer he was working on at Nashua and breaking his left wrist, scraping up his face and possibly breaking his right wrist too.

The trailer was outside the plant and he was finishing up a door framing job. He went to step on a ladder device which wasn't flush with the door frame and he missed the first step, tripping over a rubber seal in the threshold. He flew down head first. (Ron said his cape malfunctioned and he should get his money back!) Anyway, he went to brace himself for the fall and the brunt of his fall was on his left wrist. He graveled up his face also. His right wrist is possibly broken too, but only slightly enough that it has a removable splint on it for now. He also has some pretty good bumps and bruises on his shoulder and one of his thighs.

Ron was driven to the emergency room at St. Luke's downtown by one of his co-workers. I was called by another of Ron's co-workers and I knew it wasn't good when he said, "I wish I were calling you with better news...." So, I rushed to the hospital and found Ron in lots of pain on a gurney. Ron told me that the nurse asked what pain level he was at and he said that he was an 8 or 9. It took a long time before Ron was able to get his shot of morphine though. Ron got exrayed and it showed that he broke his left wrist pretty bad. The ER doctor referred him to an orthopedic surgeon. They wrapped his wrist and arm in a "sugar tongue" splint. (Katherine, you'll know what that is :-) Ron's right wrist isn't as bad, possibly a small fracture, but the doctor couldn't tell. His face was full of dried blood clumps and the nurses and doctor didn't seem to care about how he looked, only how he felt. So I took some wet paper towels and proceeded to get dried blood and gravel off his face.

By the time Ron was checked out of the hospital, he already had a long list of things to do: "Go get his prescription for Norco filled, while that's being filled at the pharmacy, drop by his work and get his stuff out of the car and pick up his check, then go back to the pharmacy and pick up his prescription. Oh, and why don't we go to Costco to see what they can do about my scraped up glasses. Oh, and go by the bank and deposit my paychek....."(I'm guessing the morphine was talking, not Ron!)


We went to Albertsons by his work and Ron insisted on coming in the store with me. I asked if he was sure about that and he said yeah, yeah, he was okay. I told him that he might scare people with his face all bloodied up. He said, "Naa, I'll be fine." We didn't get too many stares when we went in to drop off his prescription, but when we went back to pick it up after it was filled, the gal at the pharmacy window had a look on her face like, "What is this bloodied up man doing here standing in line?!"



I told Ron that he scared her. It didn't phase him one bit! So, we finally got home and I had to help Ron with his shower so his spint wouldn't get wet, but somehow we managed to get it a little damp. A sister and brother in our ward brought dinner to us, which was so nice. By the time I got done doing everything for Ron, I sure didn't want to fix dinner. Here's Ron at home finally, all cleaned up.


Ron has an appointment on Monday afternoon with the surgeon.

Molly Lou is here!

Congrats to Katherine!

Latest Adventures


HUGE spider Jon found in our bathroom. I can't wait to get out of this apartment!!!!


Disgusting mushroom covered in dirt/mold on a pizza that we ordered. I emailed a complaint but haven't heard back yet, HA!


It's fall! Ethan's first exposure to falling snow.

Reasons why I love being a stay at home mom (currently).
1. I get to experience all the new things with Ethan first, before anyone else. HA!
2. I love breastfeeding in bed that turns into a mommy/baby morning nap.
3. I love the fact that Ethan can recognize me faster than anyone else and always greets me with a huge smile.
4. I love treating myself to cookies and milk after an afternoon of dealing with a gassy baby.
5. I love going out and being stopped by strangers to see my cute baby boy.
6. I love kneeling around Ethan's crib for family prayer.

..but mostly I love that he can make me smile - always. Happy Birthday to one of the awesomest kids alive.

First Thursday (May 2009)

So I was cleaning out old photos from my microSD card in my G1. They were photos that I had taken when I owned a Blackberry Curve. Anyway, I found this group of pictures of when Tausha and I went to participate in First Thursday. This was in May 2009, mind you. So they're a little old. But Tausha and I had fun.

We had to start our evening with the usual tasty treats from downtown. It really doesn't get any better than this: A pita from the Pita Pit (Falafel with sprouts, hummus and tzatziki sauce of course), croquettes from the Basque Bar and Carmel Apple Cider with extra whip from Starbucks.

We then headed over to The Modern Hotel. This hotel was remodeled and opened for the public to see. The hotel opened thirty-four rooms, with more than 65 visual and performance artists to display their talent. It was pretty cool. I did not get any pictures of the insides of the rooms and how the artists diplayed their stuff. There were rather interesting ways how the artists "took over" the rooms. Some of them prominently displayed their talent, others just made their room look "lived in" like their room was their art studio.




When Tausha and I were walking back to our car, we saw these, just sitting on a business window ledge outside. We thought it was hilarious.

And, of course, you can't go downtown and not climb on this and try to look cool.


Isn't she so cute?

Does Cat Stevens like Stewart's Funny Farm?

So, I was talking with Ranee tonight about the new T-Mobile commercial of which I had not seen. She said that she really likes it because it has a Cat Stevens song on it and she totally loves Cat Stevens.
I asked Ranee if the song on the commercial was "Peace Train". She told me no and she played me the sound from the T-Mobile commercial.
This is why I asked Ranee if the song was "Peace Train".

(Video taken on August 20, 2009 on the drive to Dad and Katherine's house to see Aunt Nancy and Uncle Rodney.)

......I knew there'd be a reason someday that I could post this video on our blog :-) Isn't he fun? I wonder if Cat Stevens would like us as much as we like him.

A Nice Visit with Mom and Bill

Ron and I went to visit Mom and Bill last week and Mom showed off her piano playing skills quite well. Hooray for Mom! I'm so glad she has G-ma's piano. I could tell it gives her some comfort.

Jon feeding Ethan... well, kind of.

Jon's nose, although not able to produce milk, is fairly appetizing to Ethan at least. Also, Ethan carries a good left hook! :)

Stewart's Funny Farm just grew by one



6:52 am on Wednesday, July 15th, Lynda sent a text message that Tara's water had just broke and she and Jon were on the way to the hospital.

Pat, Ashley, Lynda and Tausha all hopped in their respective cars and headed to Utah. Lucky for them, but not so much for Tara, Tara's birthing experience was like Grandma Sharon's. Long and...long. They all made it to the hospital with plenty of time to help with the birth by holding Tara's legs and offering words of encouragement.

After more than 12 hours, at 7:11 pm, Ethan was finally here! 8 pounds 13 ounces...what a big boy! I hear Jon was a wonderful coach and Tara was a trooper and, as you can see for yourself, Ethan's just as precious as can be. Welcome Home Ethan.
