Random

We have a cast! This one is on for a week and then they will check everything again. The doctor is concerned about how far off her pinky is and hoping we see improvement on Wednesday! Heidi actually likes the cast better. Here hand is hurting less and feels better protected... but it does smell already! The next cast will probably be on for 3 weeks! We will see... 



The boys got their haircut!


We are almost done with fall cheer! We have just one more game to cheer and a couple more practices! 



Volleyball is sort of falling apart... we have a couple of girls sick, Heidi is out with her hand and I think our girls are feeling beat up. I hope we can turn it around for the last couple of games to end on a high note!



The apple orchard wasn't working into our plans, but Chris grabbed Lucy and headed just for a little bit on Sunday! Their goals were to get some apples and donuts!

Broken...

 First the positives from the last week...Little Rizzo - not any bigger but still adorable...


It was picture day at school! Both girls chose their own outfits and styling and I love it. Lucy just loves a photo shoot!


I was showering and came out to this snuggle fest...


Sneak peek of the dog's costumes... Remy the chef and Rizzo has pizza PJs for Pizza Rizzo!


Heidi was at high school test prep, so we enjoyed the nice weather at Fiestas!


Now onto the bad news...

Thursday at recess, Heidi was playing with the girls and they were throwing the football around. A group of boys was just watching the girls, as they do in 8th grade, and one of the boys did a "hey - watch this" - and whipped a random ball at Heidi as she was full speed running with the football. That ball caught her left pinky and snapped it. It was thrown hard enough to break her finger. It is broken. She now can't play volleyball and it is her 8th grade year plus she has club JO tryouts in a few weeks. We are so sad for Heidi. I think each day it sinks in the severity of her injury.  

We go to the hand specialist on Wednesday to see if it is a brace or cast and how long do we have to heal before some playing can resume. I have a feeling Wednesday will be a sad day... Heidi is really hoping for some good news... but it isn't a small break...

The lower part of her pinky is what is broken. That is why the top of her finger looks like it is trying to take a trip elsewhere. The finger did line up and we don't think surgery is needed, but we will know more on Wednesday.



Heidi's first game of her sitting out and it was rough. I feel bad for her... Let's hope for some good news on Wednesday!


Ending with some random puppy pics...

Cheer, BBQ & Dirt

Chris made a brisket this weekend and it was DELICIOUS!

 


It was a beautiful day for some cheerleading!



Chris and I do a whole bunch of manual labor and filled in what we could for dirt around the patio and trash area. We fixed one side of our yard with seed and fresh dirt. We still have the other area but the contractor is going to come back and help us since it is so large. 


And the puppies...
