April...

Another month has come and basically gone. We in the Barker household are still doing well and in one piece minus the occasional bumps and bruises. Corey and I spoke in church on Easter and I also sang with 2 other women in the ward. Everything went well and Corey spoke magnificently. He always is amazing when he speaks. The kids were really excited that the "Easter Bunny" came. And I feel like a terrible mom cause I forgot to take pictures of the kids with their Eater baskets. Oh well.
This last week Kobie came home from school limping and in tears. He said that he hit his toes on a rock in the ground at recess. His foot was swollen and he couldn't walk on it. I called a friend and he wrote an order for his x-ray to make sure his foot wasn't broken. No it wasn't broken. I felt a little silly that I had rushed in but when he broke his arm last year I didn't think that it was broken and waited 2 days. And I felt terrible since I waited so long with his arm that I didn't want to do the same thing again. He couldn't walk on it so I gave him a piggy back ride into the hospital and back out. I'm sure it was a silly site since Kobie is about the same size as me. It is sad that my 7 yr old is a head shorter than me. I have been playing outside with the boys this week. I thought I want my kids to think that their mom is fun and cool cause she plays with them. So I got on one of the scooters and rode around with them. It was great. I even got out my rollerblades last week but the hills in Georgia are a little big and scary. So I didn't get very far with my blades. Really it is that I am just a chicken and don't want to break my arm but at the same time if I break my arm I wouldn't be able to work. Well it would take me a whole lot longer to do an ultrasound left handed than it would normally.
