Susan's trip in an Ambulance

*Warning may be graphic in detail*
Susan and Mommy took a short trip to the Emergency Room last night. We got to ride in an ambulance. We live very close to Children's Hospital but, when Susan's head cut would not stay together with my hand pressing on it holding to together and I knew no band-aid would keep until we got to the Hospital, we called for an ambulance.
Susan and the kids decided to jump off the top bunk bed. Susan, I hear from jr, stood on the side rail then fell, she must have landed on a toy doll bed or a dresser drawer sticking just far enough out to cut her head pretty badly.
The EMT said the cut was to her bone. The Emergency Room Doctor said she did not need a ct scan because she never lost consciousness and she was acting normal considering everything.
She got a few layers of stitches to prevent scaring, and did pretty well. Today she is fine, I keep reminding her and the kids to not play too hard and we are watching lots of movies to rest. Brian jr got my camera and took this photo of Susan this morning. She looks like her happy normal self.Last night she was not as happy div>Here is a photo of her cut, (The photo is not extremely graphic but I thought it better not to post the photo) In the photo she is sleeping in the ER room after they had cleaned her all up, about 2 hours after the injury, she looks peaceful in her "Doctor blanket," we took it home as a souvenir and she had named it so.
We are all a little shaken up, and more cautious of the dangers around us. We are also more grateful for each other and or health, safety and good smart Doctors. Here are the rest of the photos jr took

Katie's prayers

Katie can be very sweet and she is always sincere. Her prayers reflect that personalithy trait. She always prays for exactly she she wants. Some of our favorites have been,

"Please bless mommy wont throw up anymore like she did this morning."

(remember I am prego)

"Please bless Daddy wont rip his pants today"

( My favorite! I was mending clothing all day)

"Please bless Brian wont be such-a mean brother"

"Please bless we wont fight over who says the prayer anymore"

"Please bless we wont get in trouble from the police"

(a police man visited preschool that day)

Rock-a-bye hot-dog.

Susan is a crazy girl she has so much personality. The other day she was in the kitchen cradling a cold hot dog (one of her favs) and she rocked it back and forth singing "Rock-a-bye hot dog in the tree tops....." Pretty funny!

Another Susan story
Susan is verry funny, a few days ago she was crying in her car seat as we were driving to put the kids to bed. Yes we do that sometimes when its 9:30 or 10:00 pm and they are protesting sleep we throw them in the car and drive until at least 2 kids are asleep.

Anyway Susan was very upset crying and yelling . In a panicky she was voice she started calling to me, "Mommy! Mommy!! Mommy!!!" I calmly turned on the verge of going crazy and said "What Susan?" she quickly responded "Your....forehead." It made us all laugh, silly girl!

i wish

Brian Jr was mad at me for punishing him so he declared,
"Mom you're in trouble, I am taking away all your cleaning things!"
As if that was my favorite thing.

Boy-Girl-Girl-Boy

When I was younger and I used to plan my wedding, the colors, the flowers, the car we would drive away in it was mostly for fun I didn't actually care that much about the superficial part of my future wedding. I did make lots of lists of the qualities in a man I wanted to marry. That list was very important and Brian had met every requirement and most of the things I just wanted.

I also had a list of names I wanted for my kids. Brian quickly nixed those unique names and we settled for more classic traditional names that we both love. As well as names I planned the order of my children. I wanted a boy first to protect the kids and lead the way. Then 2 girls so they could be friends , share things and hang out with. Then I wanted another boy so the first one could have a friend close in age also. That was not necessarily where I wanted to stop but I felt after we would be even and what ever we had bout be an extra joy.

Well in January we were delighted to find out we were expecting baby number 4! We told the kids a few weeks later, after they started making up reasons why I was so sick, We heard them talking to each other saying things like,"Mommy is so sick she is gonna die" "Mommy has diarrhea" "Mommy is sick because moms get sick of babies" "Mommy just needs to throw up" As you can see we needed to talk with the kids and reassure then I was ok and we were happy to have another baby.

They are very excited and talk about the baby a lot. We are all very excited and are even more excited that this baby will be a boy! We will be even! it is perfect! I am so thankful to be a mother and love my kids very much. Motherhood is my work and my glory.

Day Trip to Compo-Febuary

Originally typed in February
The Jones Family finally went out on another day trip. It felt so good to go drive to a new area, explore, act like tourist and just be together. I have been so sick with the growing baby inside me I haven't left like doing anything but It was a very nice day.

From December

Yes from December! long time ago!
I made the video but never added music, so I didn't publish it. Now that we have our music back I will publish a few videos.

Christmas with the Jones'

All of November 2008

As I said before I have some back blogging to do. I am posting them in the order I finalize them, which is in a completly random order.

After they are all posted I will go back and order them by changing the date they were published, Did you know you could do that? Anyway, Sit back and enjoy our November.

Christmas at preschool.

1st Annual Fuller Family Pajama Bowl.

I am going to be doing a lot of back blogging video style so Enjoy:

These videos are not in any sensible order, just what I finished first.

We had a great night bowling with the kids after 9:00 pm. The highlights include: Clarissa was super prego looked like a bowling ball in her shirt. Randall was to sick to come. Jenny and Shawn were there and played well, even thought I did not get a good photo of them in the video. Aj and his girl friend come along. Samuel wore pirate pants, a tie-die church shirt and teal bandanna. Of course Mommy (Grandma) won, she is good at everything and she used to be on a bowling league. I had a head cold that seriously affected my game. The kids did a great job taking turns, when the TV screen told them who's turn it was to put the ball down the slide.

I hope we can make this a new tradition!
