lost camera

ok people, in packing for our trip to utah tomorrow, i realized i can't find my camera anywhere!!! i may cry. rebekah got x-rays today, and she is healing wonderfully, so...the cast came off! it was grandma gresko's idea to tell them we were taking it off if they wouldn't, and it worked! we will be going to 7 peaks, a water park in utah, and other fun things, which would be such a hassle with the cast. so thank goodness, she is all healed. she had her first shower in over a month (she's had baths, but they were very frustrating!!) it was very exciting for all to get that raunchy smell off. who knew it would stink if it wasn't washed? i have never experienced a cast before, so this was fascinating for me from the beginning. i've always just had splints and ace bandages. it was fun to watch the cast being put on, and even more fun to watch it being taken off. i was a little afraid his loud tool would cut her arm off though!! thank goodness, it was no problem, and she is back to her crazy little self. the doc was impressed with her range of motion and no pain. she is a tough little cookie! watch out world, here comes rebekah!
also, i got to help our sister missionaries teach a discussion today for the first time in my life. we were called to help because the lady has 3 boys similar ages to ours, and they thought she needed a friend at church. it was quite a nerve wracking experience to have the missionaries teach for a while, then turn to you, and say, and what do you think of ....... the whole time i was thinking, what if i say the wrong thing, and it is my fault if this lady decides the church is a bunch of hooey? that was a heavy weight on me, but it turned out alright. she was very receptive, and agreed to baptism! so we must have done something right, or in spite of us!!
well, we will be gone for a week, off to the hopefully cooler temps of provo. yay!!!

ok, today was caleb's first day of school. he got his very own backpack yesterday, so we took a pic of him when we got home. and then today on our way out the door. he was so excited, he wanted to get on the bus with the big kids this morning. but sadly, he is only in preschool! such a sweetie though!!


































and here he is with daddy. so cute!!
caleb was dressed as tigger one afternoon when we got home from dinner. such a silly boy!














colby and rebekah started school on monday the 11th. it's already been a week! crazy! colby is in 1st grade, and rebekah is in kindergarten. poor girl had to start school with a broken wrist. hope she catches on quick once the cast comes off!!

and here is our little princess, smiling for her daddy. she is already 2 months old! time flies way too fast!!

water fun

so saturday night was our ward party at carson pool. it was so much fun!! the doc told nathan she could get the splint wet just have to dry it at home. so we did!! there was a little slide for the younger ones, which caleb loved, he wouldn't go down at first, but finally did. one time he went down yelling, mom this is so much fun!! another time, you rock!! he was so excited to be doing things without help. it was cool. and colby had a blast with the thing that fills up with water slowly above your head, then when you least expect it....bam, a puddle on your head! he would try to guess when it was coming, and laugh when he got soaked. even rachel liked sticking her feet in the water. it was a fun family affair! poor nate couldn't go down the big water slides though. apparently you can't if you have a button on your shorts! it could scrape the slide. i told him we could rip it off! we didn't think that would be a good idea though. overall, a very enjoyable night
