Broken Collar Bone and Growing...

The latest:

Cooper's spring break didn't end pretty.

While snowboarding at the Park City Resort with Grandpa McCleve, Austin and Ashlyn... Apparently, Cooper was flyin' down the mountain, caught an edge and landed on his shoulder and now has a broken collar bone!  Not a fun way to end his trip... Especially with out mom and dad there to soothe and comfort him through it all.  Luckily, he had his Grandparents, big brother and aunts to take care of him while he was somewhat disabled!

He is totally bummed out about the fact that he is done with all sports for 2-3 months!  Including soccer...

From my perspective, I am just so grateful that his injuries stopped here!  It is never fun to get a phone call that one of your children has been hurt and is in the hospital and there is nothing you can do to help comfort them!  Thank goodness he was in good hands!


While I was taking this picture I wanted to document that two of my boys have now out grown me.  Cooper has reached 5 feet 4.5 inches.  He has me by a half inch.  It is so weird when your kids out grow you!

We love you Cooper and are so glad you are home safe and sound!

Tracey- You are lucky he didn't break anything else. I remember going through cast after cast with Blake, even since being on his mission he has broken stuff.
Boys, boys, boys

Oh my word, Tracey, I'm so sad for poor Cooper! He is looking SO old. Weird how they just grow up so darn fast. So great to see you guys tonight!

We must have seen him the night before this happened! I'm guessing Austin told you we saw them at Yogurtland with your parents and sisters. So sorry for that yucky injury. Finn cracked his collar bone when he wasn't even 3! It was miserable. Hope he heals quickly!
