Not for the Weak at Heart

The Accident!

As alot of you know Wyliam had an accident on August 8, we were busy with a day of shopping and he was riding in a cart as most young children his age do. He unfortunetly tipped with the shopping cart and was injured! His hand was smashed between the pavement and the cart, fracturing his ring finger and cutting it to the bone! I was horrified and so upset. We had to be transported by ambulance because I was hysterical!

Anyway to make a long story short he had five stitches and until now has been seeing a theripist to help get movement back into his finger. The results are in he has a 60 degree range of motion willingly and 90 degree range of motion forcefully. (typical range is 105 degree) He has alot of scar tissue still present but that will chemically go away in six months in turn he could get worse after that or even return to completely normal. So in six months we will be visiting the Great Kirsten and Dr. Jones! Much Thanks to each of these people as they have worked hard with my little milker!!!

And also a BIG Thanks to Gramma Leota----(Jared's gramma) She came to our well... MY rescue at the time of the accident not really even knowing me only meeting me once before. If it wasn't for her I would have gone insane!!!

Thanks to Ryan and Laura too who helped change the dressing on his finger when I couldn't---You guys are great friends and could never be replaced.

So heres a pic of the finger after being stitched---don't look if your squemish!!!

The Ozarks

WOW "REAL" Mountains!

These are the Ozark Mountains. Go ahead and ask why I am so excited about Mountains. I have been in the Smoky Mountains when I was a baby but never have really seen any other mountains so I was excited! I know I am pathetic!!! But here they are, the bottom picture we were actually on this look out tower which might I add was very scary!

Not only did I see Mountains but I saw the Buffalo River which runs through the Ozarks. This river was also beautiful---and the water was so clear.

And although the week was sucky for me it ended all nicely. I had the flu while I was in Missouri so didn't want to venture out much, I layed in bed and rested which is all I could do. Wednesday night we headed to Arkansas and I felt somewhat better. But Thursday I felt alot better and thats when we did all this sightseeing. Jared is well known for eating at weird places that no one has ever heard of. I am not much of this kind of person because I am a picky eater to say the least. But because I was a little outgoing I went to this little cafe up in the Ozarks in a tiny town. It was called the Ozark Cafe. It was so cool inside---it was filled with old pictures and newspaper articles---things of the past. So if you ever go in the Ozarks definitley eat there! I will admit I didn't go far outside my box I went with Cheesy Bacon Fries!

St. Louis

Did you know St Louis is two hours away from me now?

Little did I know that I lived so close to St Louis now. Jared got sent away for yet another site visit but this time I got to go with! We were on our way to Springfield, Mo and a little town in Arkansas. I was just excited to be going to the hometown of one of my favorite Scrapbook Designer Elsie Flannagin---We went through St Louis to get there and I finally saw the Arch we didn't stop cause we wanted to get to the hotel but I saw it, Jared wants to take me in the top of the Arch but I dunno about that! Anyway here are some pictures of the arch on the way there it was cloudy and rainy so the picture isnt the greatest and the other is on the way back through St. Louis at the Busch Stadium.

To my Sis!

So Rissa has been dying for these pics since umm like her birthday or something like that. Well really she just wants them for her birthday present that I gave her without pictures! Anyway I think they turned out good considering our photographer---Jared!

Introduction

SO lets try to keep this updated on a somewhat normal basis!

Everyone knows who I am if your on here. My family consists of Me, (Jamie), Johnathan my oldest boy, 5, Wyliam my youngest boy, 2, and my boyfriend, Jared. And two fish are in the household too-Frank and Scooter, they were Jared when we moved in.

A few short months ago we moved to Illinois,400 miles away from Ohio, creating a unique new family! The family life sure is different then living with my mom but all in all I wouldn't trade it.

This blog will consist of my many artworks from pencil drawings to paintings to digital designs and scrapbooking when I get time for that. Other things will be new things that me and the kids have done or that I think or know is adorable and probably random pictures too. My life is hectic with school, kids, family life and trying to find a job but I will try to keep this updated!

And to everyone back home in Lima, Ohio, I miss all of you a bunch!
