Extra Leg Info

Hello there! On whatever day I had done my last post I was in pain so my post was short and not very explanative. That's not to say I don't have any pain now. There's always a pain there but sometimes not very bad. Like now. I have my foot elevated with ice on it. The ice helps quite a bit. So let me talk more about how things went. After the accident Mama and the neighbor rushed to get Daddy and I. From there we went straight to the ER ( obviously....where else would we go) while the neighbor stayed at the sight of the accident to take the four wheeler home. As I previously stated the hospital is very close to our home and we were very close to home when we crashed so we got to the hospital very quickly, Thank God. I got taken to a room at the ER while the nurse asked Mama questions.....you know how they do. :-)  I was in pain but unable to cry. Later I got laughed at (not really) because Mama and the neighbor said as soon as they came to the accident I wasnt even like "It hurts!". They said the first thing I said was "Don't let them do anything to it until I can't feel it!!" Believe me, I was extremely concerned they were going to set it before giving me pain medicine or before knocking me out. Trust me, the tears definitely came once we got home. They still come often and they will for a while....this is a very tough thing to go through. Anyhoo...I got an IV and some pain medicine through that. They also hydrated me through my IV. Mama was concerned about me getting dehydrated. I got some x-rays taken which was quite painful. Moving my leg around and such. Ow. Little later they gave something through my IV that made me unable to feel pain, unable to talk, and unable to move...? Something like that. Basically I think they knocked me out but my eyes were open.....I'm unsure. :-/ So yeah, they did that and then set my leg and put it in a splint. It was very hard waking up from the medicine. I would open my eyes but not be able to keep them open for longer than a few seconds and it was very scary to me. I remember waking up the ceiling started to spin. It was not fun...at all. Finally I woke up and tried to sit up but it just made my head spin. So then eventually they got me in a wheelchair and then in the car and then in the bed at home where I felt much more at comfort. The doctor llikes wiggling my toes. I don't like him wiggling my toes. Because it tingles and I don't like my tingly toes. I don't like the tingles. But I must bear with him wiggling my tingly toes and I must bear it patiently and with the thought that he knows what he's doing. Blegh. As I was gonna say what days we went to the doctor I realized I don't remember what days. So...long story short we went to see the broken foot guy a couple times and I have a "surgery" scheduled for Wednesday. Hopefully they're just gonna knock me out and...for lack of better word, tweak my leg a bit. Then put a cast on it while I'm still out. But they might put a plate and some screws in it. Ergh! I am not looking forward to Wednesday.  So please just PLEEEASE pray for me. To have peace on Wednesday. To not be worried sick (literally). That whatever the doctors do it will go smoothly. For my leg to heal quickly and properly. For the pain to lessen. For Papa and Nana to have a good time with us. For me to feel well when they're here. And to just constantly have peace...I already said that but I don't care... I need peace. I need calm. I need to not be afraid. And whatever else you feel like praying for.  For the doctors to choose what they're going to do wisely. I love you guys. 

And now.....for some pictures. :-D

My Mommy makes AH-MAZE-ING Alfredo. And my Daddy's super awesome too because he got shrimp...just for me. :-D 

And...because I'm super nice here is a photo of me. Laying in bed with a broken leg. Making a weird face. Because when I smiled it defined my puffy under eyes quite a bit. So I opted for a weird face instead. I least you can't really see how messy my hair is. Iz Ugy. <- Saxon speech. No, Saxon didn't say that about my hair that's just how it would sound if he said it. ;-) 

So now I'm gonna go and drink some coffee and ice cold water....which by the way looks delicious...the water. :-) I have an appointment for laying outside on a cot for a while later today because it is GORGEOUS!!! So bye now! Love you!

Oh and, Mama feel free to correct me about anything in the comments. Guys, make sure you check out the comments just in case Mama needed to correct me. I don't want you knowing the wrong thing.  :-)

Wow

I've now started a post three times but I never finished. I was going to rave about how much fun a four wheeler is and how we were going to go on a ride. But no, I'm not going to rave. I went with daddy on it Sunday after church and we had an accident. The trail at the bottom of the hill instead of staying straight leaned to the right. We fell to the right and the four wheeler was on my leg. Thankfully the trail was very close to home and the hospital is very near to us. So we went to the ER. My left leg got broken and I got a few scratches on my knee and back and a little bump on my head. Daddy got a bump on his head and a big bruise on his side. Other than that he's still intact. My leg hurts and sometimes it will feel tight. I have a few appointments. I'm tired and in pain so I'll say bye bye now. I'll try to write another post soon but I might not feel like it. I'm stuck in bed for a while unable to get out of bed. Love you.

And of course please please please pray for me. Thank you so much. 

Owie. Waaaaah!! :-(  :-)

DAY TILL NANA AND PAPA COME: 13!!!!

Cuties!

Saxon was sleeping on the couch after a bath one day and Millie decided to snuggle him. :-)

My sleeping puppy.  She's so cute with her teeth showing. And then she has her paw on her toy.  Seriously, she is so stinkin' cute!! :-) Even though she can be a handful....or two sometimes. ;-P

That's all for now. Love you!

DAYS 'TILL PAPA AND NANA COME: 33!

Coffee and Pictures

Here are the pictures from our drive to Whittier and Seward I said I would put up. Hopefully I'll take better ones with Mamas camera when we go with Papa and Nana. Or just better ones in general. :-) I was kinda in a rush taking these ones.

This is where we saw the otters.

Stone steps on the trail to the glacier viewing. That's my Mama over there in the stripes. :-)

Guys, I promise glaciers are soooo much prettier than this in real life.  

Mountains on the glacier viewing trail.

Part of the glacier viewing trail.

More glacier viewing trail.

My dog.....obviously. ( And I totally just said that in a Snape voice) ;-p

Mountains....not sure where.  There's too many mountains to keep track of.

That's all for the Whittier/Seward pictures. 

This is actually the street our house is on. Our mailbox is over by the railing.

My SUPER cute brother!!!

For those of you that don't know my Daddy has now started roasting his own coffee beans.  He uses an air popper to roast them. I like to be his cooler-off-er-put 'em in the jar-er. :-D 

Freshly roasted beans.

More beans.

The "before" beans.

Gosh, my iPod takes really wretched pictures. I need a camera. 

Well, I guess I'll go now. Bye-bye!

Last Weekend

Saturday we went to a Renaissance Fair in Anchorage.  It was a lot of fun. Fun...but hot.  Bub got us kids lemonades....Thanks, Bub!  He wanted a wooden sword but they were way too expensive.  Mama and I got Hennas.  Hers turned out beautifully. Mine was on the top of my foot and I think my skin was too dry because it didn't turn out very well.  And guys, really, walking around I just wanted to be someone who worked there so I could wear a really, super, awesome dress. And be cool. Hehe. But alas, I could not. Oh well, I still had fun.  ;-)

Sunday we decided to skip church and take a drive down to Whittier and Seward so we could check 'em out before we go with Papa and Nana. The drive was of course gorgeous. To get to the small, secluded town of Whittier you had to go through a mountain. It was kinda creepy at first but then it was awesome.  The town of Whittier was, as I have mentioned before, small.  And secluded I guess you could say, as you have to go through a mountain to get to it. It has a lot of boats and its right by the sea. Very pretty. We went down a little trail down to the water and ate some blueberries. (from the store...) And went as far out as we could in the water with our rain boots. I still ended up getting water in my boots. Oops. :-) But we saw two otters out in the water playing.  You could barely see them without binoculars but with the binoculars you could see them much better. They were sooo cute! We then drove to Seward.  That was another tiny little town but we did end up finding where our train would come in. We took another hike to go see a glacier.  You couldn't go up to the glacier but you could get pretty close. Papa and Nana, if you want to do that hike...fine by me. Just don't rush it. Go slow. Otherwise I might die. And wear shorts if it's a hot day. Nana, if the boys decide to go ahead of us....it's   OK. I'll be slow with you. And make sure you eat before you go. Or you might end up starving like me. HaHa...I'm super weird.  But really, it was quite strenuous. I'd rather hike that later this year when we're more in shape. It really was a wonderful hike though. Very pretty going through all the trees and up the rock steps. :-)  Then we got stuff from Carrs for turkey sandwiches. And yogurt. And then we drove home. We got home around 10:30-11:00 I think......and then we slept. :-D

This post should've been posted on Monday but as you can see it was not.....my bad. All the pictures are on my Ipod and I'm on the little laptop so I'll have a picture post soon.

Lots of Love!

DAYS 'TIL PAPA AND NANA COME:  40 Days

My New Look

No, no, I'm sorry, not my new look. My blogs new look. Obviously. :-p I hope you like it.  I tried to be somewhat springy. I'll give it a little while for me to get use to. Or not use to. I might decide I don't like the look of it. Because you know, I just have to always change my mind. :-D
Right now, here it's infested with Mosquitos. Ugh!! But wonderful weather! So that's nice.

Love you!!

Oh and quick question. Are my fonts always hard to read? What about this one? Comments would be appreciated. Thanks!

Yay! Yay! Yay!

Papa Rich and Nana KK bought their plane tickets!!! We are SO excited that they'll be here....this Summer.  They'll be here July 24th to August 4th.  We'll be taking a cruise and a train ride hopefully.  And I would really like to take a bus tour in Denali. We'll have to see. We'll just do some sightseeing and even if we didn't get to do any of the stuff it would still be fun just since they're here. I absolutely CANNOT wait!!!! 

I LOVE YOU PAPA AND NANA!!!!!!!!  

8!

So I'm like almost a week late. Oops. Who cares though. Right?

Piersen had a good day.  He woke up to a hallway full of balloons, an 8 on the mirror, and words on the car. The car said 'Piersen is 8!' 'Honk for Piersen!'  Nobody honked...  :-(   :-p   For presents he got: 'Risk: Lord of the Rings Edition.  It's out of print now so you can only get it at places like EBay or such.  And a nice sketch book with some nice pencils. He likes drawing so he liked that.  He had cheesecake for his cake....as always.  That was extremely yummy. And homemade pizza for dinner. Yum!  Yesterday he got a package from Nana KK and Papa which contained: a very nice pair of binoculars, and Axis and Allies. So he also very much enjoyed those presents.  He got money from Nana Mary. Money is always nice, right? ;-)

The only pictures we have of Piersens birthday on the iPad is a video....and I don't think that works on here. 

BUT I can show you my doggie. Her name is Malificent Regina. Lol. I'm joking. Since her name is Millie I like to be silly and call her Malificent. And since Malificent is a bad person and so is Regina I like to joke around and call her Malificent Regina when she's getting on my nerves.  And yes, Regina is a bad person in 'Once Upon a Time'. For those of you who don't watch 'Once Upon a Time'. I LOVE that show.....can't wait for Season 3!! Ahem...anywho. 

My dog : 

Love you all lots and lots and lots!!!

Of Summer, A Birthday, and Visitors

Of Summer: Yes, Summer, I think....it was sooo hot yesterday.  We had to have Popsicles. It was burning.  So hopefully Summer will stay....for longer than two days. 

Of a Birthday: My brother is going to be 8 tomorrow. 8!! He's growing up way too fast.

Of Visitors: Our friends the Linds came and stayed with us for 5 days.  They talked about their life in Africa at our church and hung out with all our wonderful friends at church. They went to our church in Fairbanks and moved to Africa to be missionaries in the DRC. If you wanna check them out you can visit their website at:     lindfamily.org

Donations are great but prayers are always welcomed with big smiles too.

So yeah, I'll tell of Piersen's birthday tomorrow. Bye-Bye!!

Love,

Kaylee

Hello!

Hi! 

I'm very sorry, I still haven't done any pictures from when the Hoops were here.  I will soon though, I promise. Not much has been going on here. Lots of nice, warm, days.  Some days are sunny.  Some days are cloudy. Most days have just the right amount of wind.  

Millie is still in the process of not going to the bathroom in the house....I really need to teach her that.  I'm trying but it's proving itself harder done than said. I am trying to take her out more often but it's annoying.  The worse time is in the morning, when I'm in my Jammie shorts and t-shirt and its still pretty cold.  Now that it's warming up, it's much more enjoyable though.  

There was a moose down our driveway a couple days ago, then it was in the woods across the street, and it was in the woods by our house last night....Libby was barking at it. Then it was in our yard in the middle of the night. I saw moose prints in the mud. 

We went to Hatchers Pass Friday (D got to stay home) but it was too snowy up there to hike.  But the view was gorgeous. We saw two people with a dog climbing up a big giant hill and then skiing down, and they made excellent time climbing up. Way better than we would have. And people take their snow-mobiles up on really steep hills and it is soooooo creepy.  

And also, HAPPY MOTHER'S DAY!!!!!!!!!! I hope you have (or had) a loverly day. ;-) We went to church, and then ate dinner upstairs. 

Farewell, my Dears. I shall soon show you of the lovely time we had with the Hoops. 

Toodle-loo!!
