Meet the Teacher Night!

Last night was the best Meet the Teacher night ever!  I got the teacher I wanted (Mrs. Smith) and I am in class with my 2 BFFs (Addi and Lily)!!  So wonderfully awesome!  Addi was at soccer practice, so missed out on the night and pictures!

Not quite like my fashion shows when I was little, but here is a picture of me trying on my BTS clothes I just got in the mail!  Hopefully these are jeans I WILL wear!

40th Girls trip

Mommy and her BFFs celebrated their 40th birthday's together with a fun long weekend at The Elm's resort.  They layed out at the pool, talked, laughed, got massages, drank, ate and had a blast!!

We love Ed Sheeran

Mom loves Ed so much that she went to see him in concert again!  This time in Los Angeles with Nicole.  They extended a business trip and had a fun night out!  I sure wish I could have gone with them!

Staying with Nama!

Both mom and dad were on work travel last week and I was super lucky to get to spend 3 nights with Nama!!  We had happy hour, played, rested (my leg was still bothering me), Nama made me do stuff to try to walk around and we had lots of fun!  Here we are having happy hour and then later dessert!!

Homework camp party

I told you about the silly camp  signed up for which was really all about doing homework all summer long (NOT what I thought it was going to be). Well, the whole reason I signed up for it was because of the end of summer party and celebration!  I went last week and it was not as cool as I wanted it to be.  BOO!  Next year we will save that $225!!

Minnesota Day 3: The wedding

Jon and Trina had a really pretty wedding on the lake.  I was lucky to get a golf cart ride to the location and we enjoyed watching such a pretty event!  I went to a little bit of the reception, but did not feel well and could not dance or do all the fun stuff with my cousins, which was a bummer.  Dad was nice and took me back to the room to rest, ice my leg and watch the Royals.

Minnesota Day 3: Injury

Saturday morning started off great with playing and breakfast with everyone!  We then went swimming in the indoor pool and that is where it went south.  As I was jumping into the pool, the metal cover of the drain slid off and my leg fell in to below my knee.  I was hurt as my leg was in the drain and my body in the pool.  Luckily, daddy was close by and ran over to help me.  Everyone was nervous I blew my knee or broke something.

The people from the resort cleaned up by cuts and got me a wheelchair to take me to the car and then have mom and dad take me to the hospital.

I had lots of x-rays and luckily nothing was broken!  Turns out I have a deep bruise, which they gave be ibuprophen for.  I was super excited that they gave my crutches to help with walking!  I was pretty slow with the crutches at first! 

I did learn that I have Osgood-Schlatter disease.  It is the inflammation of the bone, cartilage and/or tendon at the top of the shinbone, where the tendon from the kneecap attaches.  They only x-ray'd my left knee and found it there, but I may have in both knees.  Papa had it was he was a kid.  Luckily, it is a disease that kids typically outgrow.  It is seen in active kids and will likely cause sore and painful knees.  I hope I never experience a symptom, but it is good to understand that I have it!

Minnesota Night 2: Post-party

After the rehearsal dinner, we had fun partying at the bar right on the lake.  We would sneak inside the bar to look at the people dancing on the dance floor, we drank fun drinks, played and cuddled to stay warm (it was freezing)!!
