New Do and ER Visit!

I CUT MY HAIR!!! This is the shortest I have had it since I was a little girl, and I am LOVING it! I was so ready to just have it all gone, with the weather warming up and me getting fatter and more tired every day...it was time! I had it re-highlighted as well and added some low-lights, but you can't see them too well in these pics. I really like it though! Its so much easier to take care of, and I can actually wear it down without feeling like I am suffocating. I feel like a new woman! :)




Me and my baby boy. Don't you just want to eat him?!? I do, every day. He's my little sweetheart.
I just think this is so funny! I can't get enough of just watching him wrestle with the dogs. He finalls ends up just laying on one of them until they stand up and slide him off. I am glad they are patient with him, for the most part.
We had our first emergency room visit yesterday. Braxton was playing outside with the dogs right before conference, and Marley got a little too excited and started sprinting around the house. I looked over from doing the dishes just in time to see him bolt through the back door and run full speed head on right into Braxton. He was thrown like 6 feet and slammed his head into the concrete. I ran out there and picked him up - he was crying so hard he couldn't breathe. He was limp and pale and his eyes wouldn't focus, and soon after he started getting really drowsy and falling asleep. After about 20 min there was no change, so we decided to take him to the urgent care here in town. Their hours are so weird though and they didnt open until 10. While we were trying to decide what to do he started coughing, and every time he would cough he would cry harder and hold is head like it hurt, and THEN he started throwing up. Of course thats when we both started freaking out and decided to take him to the emergency room. It was a battle to keep him awake on the long drive there, and I tell ya I dont think I have prayed so hard in my life. We finally made it there and thankfully it wasn't very busy, so we got to see a doc pretty quick. Well, after all was said and done, we decided not to do a CAT scan because he started being alot more alert and got his color back once we got there (of course). So they just put us in a room for an hour and had us watch him to see how he did, and within about 30 min he was totally fine and the docs said he looked great and we were able to go. They gave us a list of things to look out for the rest of he day and told us to come back if the vomiting continued. I'm glad we were in and out pretty quick-I think a total of an hour and a half, and I'm grateful Justin was able to be there with us. And of course I am SO grateful he didn't have a cuncussion (sp?) or something worse. Many thankful prayers were said on the way home! I was pretty upset at Marley the rest of the day, but its hard to be mad at the dog when I know he didn't do it on purpose and he was a saint the rest of the day. I think he knew he hurt B-rax and was sorry. So anyways, all is well now, and I'm glad our first visit to the ER was a good experience. I'm sure with a little boy there will be many more to come!
