Scott bought a trampoline, (see where this is going?)
But in order to keep it "safe" we decided to dig a big pit in this Arizona hard as cement ground and put the trampoline in it so it would be level with the ground.
So we did. The following day was Sunday, General Conference. Camryn desperately wanted to jump on the trampoline. I explained to her that we don't jump on Sundays, we are going to listen to the prophet. So we did...until in-between sessions when she convinced her dad, which is not a hard thing for her to do, to let her jump for "just a minute, during commercials" hahaha. One minute later Cam was being carried into the house by Daddy and she was inconsolable. She had landed on the trampoline with stiff legs because she was afraid she was jumping too high. Needless to say I did not see the afternoon session of conference. I saw the inside of Phoenix Children's Hospital for 5 hours! Yes, she broke it straight through, just under the left knee.:(
That was just after returning from the hospital in her new splint. The following Thursday we met with the Orthopedic Surgeon to get it casted.
Purple with glitter sparkles, of course!
What does this mean to a three-year-old...Mommy has to carry her everywhere! It's the little things you don't think about like going potty, changing activities every 5 min., taking baths, and getting dressed that leave me counting down the days till this cast comes off!
Other then that life is good! We are all moved in to the new house. Here are just a couple inside pictures that I ran across today for those of you who have been asking.

So did you have the tramp in the ground already when she broke her leg? I wonder how she would do with a cane :)
U crack me up!!
I'm glad she is healing fast!!!
Owen is too cute!!!
Your house looks pretty! Can't wait to see in person!

George Banks is saying NO!
Cute "little" Owen...I love that kid!
That is a funny post! You deserve the mother of the year award for sure! I love your house...it's beautiful!
At least you haven't been arrested for trying to buy half a bag of hot dog buns! (I'm not giving up just quite yet though:) What an exemplary story to use someday in one of your talks on keeping the sabbath day holy! LOL! This was a pretty bril post by the way. I wonder if you can enter it into a bloger of the year contest...
Ugh - I'm surprised we haven't had a date with the doctor from our trampoline yet. I know if we didn't have the "kid catcher" (net) around the sides we'd for sure have CPS on our doorstep daily though!
Your house is gorgeous! Come visit. Shelby's coming up ya know...a double visit - how fun would that be!!!!
You have such a great attitude....it will be no time until her cast comes off, woo hoo!
Your house is beautiful!!
I blame the parents and their damn rap music. I've been telling you for years that Cam should be living with me :) (Ricky)
Well, I feel kinda weird commenting, but my 4-year old just fractured her arm and is currently in a splint until next Tuesday, when we go in for the cast. She's so sad about it.... today she asked, "Can it have glitter on it?" So I've been searching the internet ever since and finally came upon your blog, which is the only thing I've been able to find of glittery casts... Do you know if it needs to be a special kind of glitter? Is the only way she can have glitter if the surgeon already has it?
Thanks and sorry for "intruding".
