Then Steve, cam's bff, and my little brother, had to go and fall in love with a girl from Dallas,
so this was his going away dinner at Spicy Basil Wednesday night. He is in Texas now, and we will miss him. I will miss him being my annoying but sweet brother.

patrick, katie, steve, becky


me and aspen,
for some reason she just doesn't really love steve,
but i think she realized he was moving, and got sad.
me, cam, and steve, no wonder Laura Beth loves him so much,
who can resist those dimples....

cameron's bling

He has been resting all day,
which is really hard for him to do.
So, cameron, we are all proud of you!
-
no sling this time,
but restriction on weight for 10 days,
he can only lift the equivilent of
a coffee cup.


he can shower and take off the bandage tomorrow!
hey look at me, i am drugged and playing
video games :)
he borrowed stephen's Xbox :)
thanks stephen!
and some of brian's games!
thanks brian!

the plate and 4 screws.
they sterilized them for him, and put
them in this handy dandy package.
cam wants to wear them as a necklace.
that's weird.

on a side note:
wes our friend who had all the bowel probs before,
had to have emergency surgery for a bowel obstruction. his small bowel got twisted up, and he had surgery sunday, he is doing well, and should be out of the hospital late this week. thanks to becky, his girlfriend, he has not been in such a bad mood. last time he was in the hospital, i asked if he wanted to walk or had that day, and he told me he wouldnt be my friend when he got out of the hospital. i had ot remind him of that when he was out and better, he didn't remember :).
anyways, throw some prayers out for him as well as cam for a quick recovery!

This is what i made odette:
an embroidered onesie

turn your head to the left
it's the back of the onesie


up close and personal with the onesie.

she loved them!!!

i was planning on making more, but they kinda took too long... and i ran out of time. and before i know it, brett will be like 15 years old and i would still owe him a couple more onesies.
