Is a spoon really that sharp?


So it was a typical Sunday morning, I was about to walk out the door to choir practice(yes you read that right I am in choir, I know crazy!) anyway Jade comes running into our room screaming"Ryder thru a spoon at me!!!" I'm thinking man how bad can that hurt? Cause she was screaming so loudly. When i finally see her she is holding her forehead, we move her hand away and there is blood everywhere, in her hair and all over her face, and the cut is gapping open. The second I saw it i knew she needed stitches. So apparently Jade did something to tick off Ryder, we have yet to figure out the whole story, but he was mad at her none the less and decided to chuck a fork at her while she lay innocently on the couch watching cartoons, and it sliced her open. So i called my mom in a panic to have her call Dr. Rodriguez, he is a plastic surgeon in her ward and he has already done stitches 3 different times for my kids, he is amazing and since my kids seem to always need stitches on their face i'm not about to go to the ER and get some hack to do them. We are so lucky to know him. So my dad and Dr. Rod just got put in the high council for their stake and they were both speaking on Sun. but in different buildings, so my mom went to the church bldg. my dad was at to talk to him as soon as he was done speaking, my dad didn't have Bens cell # with him so he went to the bldg. he was going to be at to speak at 11, he waited until about 10:50 but he had to leave cause he was speaking again at 11 in a different bldg. so he left Ben a note with the bishopric to give to him. He called me during the mtg. and said "meet me here at 11:50 as soon as i finish speaking i will dismiss myself and we will go to my house to do the stitches". Cause he had to be back to speak again at 1:00, which my sweet dad offered to give his talk for him. It sounds like a circus but in the end it all worked out. The reason we didn't wait until he was all done with church is because right after his 1:00 talk he was going straight to the airport to go to Bangladesh to do surgeries on kids with clef pallets for free for a week, he is neatest guy and so giving. He said to me" I 'm so glad this worked out and i was able to do this for you guys." Seriously who says that? most people would be bugged and not have been so willing. Jade was so brave she didn't even cry when she got the shot. These pictures don't do it justice, it just looks like a little cut, i wish i would have taken pictures that day, cause 5 days later it looks almost totally better. For the picture Jade took her bandaid off, Violet iswearing a bandaid on her forehead so she can be like Jade, she has had a bandaid on since Sunday, she puts a new one on every morning. I've ran into people this week and they are confused and say "wait i thought Jade was the one that got stitches on her forehead?" Violet is so funny.




They wanted to do a little re-enactment!!!!


Jade wanted a close up of the blue stitches for our blog, she specifically asked me to take pictures and blog this!
