Eye injuries...

Here is a picture of the most recent injury. She was trying to check a stocking out at the Jaccaud's and pulled a little too hard. The Santa that was holding it up had a bit of a pointy nose and gave her quite a gash (another lesson not learned!). We headed up to the ER by Uncle Steve's house - which was very nice by the way - and they gave her 3 stitches. Getting the stitches was quite a debacle, even though it was numb and she said she could feel nothing, we ended up having to roll her burrito style in a sheet to hold her arms down. Still she was able to thrash and buck a bit - so I held her body and lower portion of her head as still as possible, another big helper bones held the top of her head while the Doc stitched.

Jer said that we need to try not to get any more cuts on her face as we would like to marry her off some day!!!

It was also mentioned that I didn't tell the story about how she got her first cut, the one on her eyebrow. She and Cowboy were in the playroom at the Y and were apparently fighting over some Jungle Book characters and Mal fell and nailed her face on either a toy or the floor. The stories are a bit conflicting as they are told by a 3 year old and a 4 year old! Anyway that one is pretty much healed now we are just waiting for the glue to wear off. Stitches on this one have to be in for 5 days, then we can take them out.

Virginia Sue - The Polite Boss

Such a sweet girl.

And then she shhhhes you and tells you "no no," I have been told that this is how she talks to the other kids in the playroom at the Y.

But at least she's polite about it!!

Cowboy's art

This is a picture of the Grinch and his dog Max. The curly thing on Max is his tail and the straight line is his antler. The blue object is his sleigh with all the presents. Obviously, the green guy is the Grinch. Hope you all enjoy!!!

Christmas Decorations

House lights.

Mal's Eye

It's not the best picture, it was taken with my camera...but you get the idea! She did really well, and was terribly happy to get glued back together rather than stitched. There was hardly any brusing, and we can actually take the glue off now - if she'll let us.

More Snow Fun

Snow in Pueblo

It snowed a few inches here Saturday night. The kids all had a big time in the snow on Sunday.

Cowboy Boogie

and Mally

New Xray's

These are Cowboy's X-rays from today, hard to believe that this is the same broken arm. Dr. Farnworth said that he has no restrictions at all. He will continue to go to P.T. for another week or so to work on his flexion (he has about 20 degrees to go) and his extension is 100%.

All dressed up

Cowboy's class went to The Nutcracker today, so he decided to dress up a bit!

I Love You

Wicked rocky path

Gymnastics

This is Mal at Gymnastics on Halloween, Luckily she changed her outfit to be a gymnastics girl earlier in the day so that worked out good!

This is gymnastics last night.

More Halloween

Here's Ginny watching Mal at Gymnastics... At the mall with our buddies: Kayla, Adin, Cowboy, Justin, and Jasmine.

Halloween party at school today

Here the big kids are on the way to school; Ginny crashed out at the school party; Mal writing her name; Cowboy with buddies playing a game; Mal and Angelena. Obviously Cowboy was "the human spider," Mal was an Equestrian and Ginny a horse (probably one of the many that Mal thinks she owns!)

Halloween pumpkins

Here are the pumpkins for this year...

Big week at the Pueblo Buller's

We'll start with Mal - she nearly got eaten by a shark! She also got bangs this week; we're hoping this will make it easier for her to see and not run into things and people! This is all 3 kids at the church Halloween party. Cowboy got his pins out on Monday - all is well, he is not completely healed by any means but they want him to start moving his elbow so he has no splint or anything. We just have to be carefull. With that said, he was able to suit up for Football this weekend. We didn't let him run the ball, just run on the field a bit...he had a good time. And here are Cowboy and Ginny before Church today.

Saturday Football

Here's Mal's big run on defense.

Walk to the fire station

Ginny and I walked with Cowboy and Mal's classes to the fire station on Wednesday. Mal and Angelena were partners and Cowboy and Izabella were partners. It was a good time, fire station was pretty small and there was only one truck there. The walk there and back was uneventfull, but on the walk back Mal and Angelena were both a little tired and managed to walk into a building and off a curb - a little of the blind leading the blind there!!!!

Birthday Party

Here's a pic of the cake And then Ginny enjoying the cake Here she is opening presents.

Flag Football

Here's Mal at the game on Saturday. Here's a team photo Mal in the "Heisman" position!
