Ellie was so scared to go skydiving...she was practically crying. I explained to her that in life sometimes the scariest things are actually the funnest things to try. I also explained that if she lets her fears get the best of her she won't experience anything new. (Maybe good Mother's advice but I didn't go because I was scared. Don't tell Ellie.) Ellie ended up being the best of the children. This is why the instructor let her fly with him. Ellie also had a great time at ifly and wanted to go again!

School break...Ellie break!
The last couple weeks my Mom has been driving to Tooele to take the kids to school so that I don't have to take Taylon outside. It's sad to admit, but I have only been by myself (with the kids) a couple of times since Taylon has been home. The kids had no school on Friday so I told my Mom that she didn't need to come.
The day had gone well. At 4pm I looked around the house and told myself what a good job I had done. I had cleaned the whole upper level of the house, put away all the piles that had accumulated around the upper level, washed and put away 4 loads of laundry, and my kids were taken care of...yes, all five of them. (It may seem funny to some that I have to remind myself of all the things I accomplished in a day...but wait till you have five kids.)
Ellie and Savannah took Dayton out in the front yard to play, Abbie was in the living room watching Mickey Mouse Clubhouse, and Taylon was sleeping in the living room in his bassinet. I decided I had a free minute to go downstairs and reset my Internet. Within in 5 minutes I hear my neighbor inside my house saying, "Becky, Ellie is bleeding." I took a minute to plug in the last cord (thinking it wasn't that big of a deal) and then I went upstairs.
I hear Ellie screaming and I see blood gushing. It's quite amazing that I took care of the situation because usually I run from the bloody messes and I let Aaron take care of them. But what do you do when he's a work...you work out the uneasiness. I noticed after a second that this was not something that I could take care of at home. I hurried and got all five kids ready and rushed the kids out the door. This was not an easy feet... but some how I did it.
When we arrived at the doctor he said that we needed to go to the hospital. We stayed long enough to get Taylon's oxygen levels checked and long enough for Aaron to arrive and then Aaron took Ellie to the hospital. Turns out she had a broken nose and a cut on the outside of her nose that needed stitches.
I'm pretty bummed out that this happened. For awhile I've had bragging rights. I've been able to say that I've had 5 kids without any major injuries except Savannah's stitches. At least I'll still be able to say that none of these incidents happened while I was around. (I'm not sure if that is good thing or bad.)
By the way, this accident happened over at the neighbors on their trampoline. I hate trampolines!
Ellie's stitches.
Ellie with her cute little band aid. To bad you can't see the swelling.
