The ACL is GONE...

Jake had an MRI done yesterday, and we went this morning to look
over the results of it with the orthopedic surgeon. Turns out, Jake's
ACL is ripped. Shredded to bits. Not just a teeny tiny tear, but completely gone.

So... surgery is set for September 3rd and then we just kinda go from there.
I am scared to death! He was really clammy and shaky after the Dr. told us the news.
It's a scary leap. I know that it's just a routine surgery, however, I can't help but worry
about what will happen, what will go wrong. We'll need lots of thoughts and prayers
in the coming weeks!

Giggles, Grins, and Forceps

I know, I know, shame on me for letting my son play with forceps...
I was helping Jake get his ingrown toenail out
and Becks thought it was hilarious to 'pinch' people with them.
He was only pretending, because I had to teach him after
he got dad's leg that it hurts, and to only do it for pretend.
He was having such a ball though, so I grabbed the cam and got some way cute shots.

We're in...

... the Navy!

DH just got home from MEPS and is an official member of the United States Navy!
I started a new blog today, too:

We're so excited for this new, life-changing opportunity!
He's going in as a Culinary Specialist, which sounds so very exciting.
His ship date is December 16th, 2008 (if he wants to, he may be able to head out before that).
I'll have to post a pic later of his awesome picture that's on his military ID, it's so *cute*!

***Finally remembered to add a pic of his temp ID card***

A Day @ Wheeler Farm

Today we went to Wheeler Farm in Salt Lake. We've been there a few times before, but it was when Becks was really little, (like still in the car seat little). It was a bit chilly, but we still had tons of fun! Here is just a handful of the pics we got while we were there.
