The cast comes off!

It’s only been a little over 3 weeks, but that was long enough! He was such a trooper about getting it cut off, too! I thought he might be a little scared of the saw, but he just smiled and laughed the whole time! He did start to cry a little when she wanted to wash his arm off after the cast came off. I think he was just scared it was going to hurt. I bet his arm felt funny. He kept saying it was sore. I ended up letting him go to work with me the rest of the day since he was complaining of it being so sore. But he never really complained about it much more.

Whew! I know he’s glad to get it off and so I am!

It was such a pain to wrap it up before taking a bath every night!

Now he can go to swim day and water day at school!

And swimming at Pops and Gigi’s house! Yay!!

Branson with the Staggs (and Johnsons)

We had a little weekend birthday celebration for Stratton and Terry. We went up Friday night and came home Sunday, so it was a quick trip, but we had a lot of fun and made some memories!! Terry and Margie were so nice to take all of us on a trip together!

The ride to Branson was tough. Stratton got car sick. Good thing we are used to this and were prepared! But we did have to stop several times which made us get there later than we had anticipated. I think we finally all got to bed around 10pm.

Saturday we were up and at’em early. We had breakfast and then took the kids to ride some kiddie rides and go carts. Well, wouldn’t you know Arden fell on the pavement chasing the boys and scraped her face up. Poor thing she looked awful! She recovered quickly though!

After the fall

Go Carts!

Lovely day to be outside! The temps were in the 70’s! Crazy!

After lunch at Mel’s we headed back to the hotel for naps. Saturday evening we had dinner at Landry’s (SO. GOOD.) and then went to see the Haygoods!

Family Picture at the Haygoods!

Arden liked the Haygoods, but she passed out about halfway through!

Sunday was a gorgeous day. I mean just perfect weather. We had a little time that morning for the birthday boys to open gifts then we decided to go to Branson Landing for a little browsing and lunch before we all headed our separate ways home.

The waterfront at the Landing was so nice Arden and I had a nice time walking around together while the others shopped. Then we had lunch and headed back to Jonesboro.

We had such a good time, I only wish we could have stayed longer! The weather was so nice and the crowds weren’t too bad. The kids had fun playing together, even though the boys can get a little crazy!!
