A week ago today, our new little nephew (Ryker) had open heart surgery. It was a very stressfull day, especially for his parents, Nathen and Sherah. They were champs - and so was Ryker. While he was recovering, our whole party made their way down to the blood donation to give blood for Ryker. When we got there, Rich was immediately recruited to donate platlets for baby Ryker. During the giving of platlets, which by the way is a two-hour ordeal (they even let you pick out a movie), the needle that was putting the blood back in him popped out of the vein and starting shooting blood who knows where. This created a hematoma, which basically means a nasty bruise and a lot of pain. Thus, the reason for my title....
It actually looks worse than this, I keep forgetting to take another pic.

Since my last blog, we've had a haircut. Rusten actually sat down and had the haircut all on his own. Usually someone holds him, but he made the big plunge this last time - so cute there all by himself. Although, good behavior doesn't go unrewarded....he looked up at me during the cut and said "ku-ser"(sucker) because Jaime always gives him one. Of course he got a sucker!
What a big boy!
We spent Saturday spending my birthday money, drinking Starbucks, having dinner with friends and watching Indiana Jones. I have never seen all the Indiana Jones episodes, so we decided to rent them. Not a big fan of Temple of Doom, but we still have The Last Crusade. We'll watch that this weekend some time.
Getting him started early.
Finally, the other night, Rusten and Reed were in bed together as we prayed. Then Rusten wanted me "nigh-nigh" and shut the "doo". Then he made daddy take a picture of us, like mommy did of him and brother. It's amazing how the little things can make you feel special...
Loving brothers!
Me and My Rusten!
My boys!
