I have recently been reading a blog about a 5 year old girl battling brain cancer. Her mom post's updates on her health daily. Every day it brings me to tears. Kate has such and amazing heart. She has started Kate's Crazy Cool Christmas. They are collecting gifts for the kids in the hospital. If everyone could take a look and donate a gift to them that would be awesome.
Each year we take one of our boys' birthday gifts and give it to Toy's for tots beings their birthday is so close to Christmas. But this year we are going to give them to Kate's Crazy Cool Christmas. Just think of the smile you will put on some poor kids face when they see that someone has thought about them. Below is the link to the facebook page where you can find more information. I will also put the link to the blog if you would like to read her story.

A trip to the ER
Monday night we were eating dinner at the table like we do every night. Jay and I were arguing with Jaxon about eating his dinner. I finally decided that I was going to start on the dishes and Jay walked away from the table too and let the boy's finish eating. I had just started to run my dish water and all of a sudden I hear the loudest crash ever. Jace had put his legs up on the table and pushed off. His high chair is a booster straped to the chair so him and the chair came crashing down. I have never had to experiance my babies getting hurt like that. After repeating "OH MY GOSH, OH MY GOSH" a few times, I un strapped him from the high chair and realized he had taken a bite of food right before he crashed. Thank goodness he didn't choke, but I got all the food out of his mouth and tried to check him out. But Jay came over and yelled at me saying "do you even know what to look for?" I was so mad at him and said let me look at my baby. I didn't want to let him go. I then gave in and let Jay look at him, once Jay had him in his lap Jace started to act like he was going to fall asleep and we saw a HUGE bump on the back of his head. I freaked out and said "I'm calling 9-1-1." I know I know I was a little over the top, but my baby was hurt and I wanted help for him. Luckly Jay was calm cool and collected and said "NO we will take him to the ER." So then I knew I had to rush and get Jaxon dressed, call someone to watch him and head out the door. But panic still had the best of me and I couldn't think at all. I don't even know how to explain it. I knew I had to get Jaxon's shoes and pants on, but didn't know where they were or even where to get them. I went into his room and just paced back and forth trying to figure out what to do. I then told Jay " you have to do this, I can't think right now." And he told me to calm down. Easier said than done. So I took a couple breaths and finally found his clothes got him dressed and called Jay's mom and headed out the door. I was to affraid to put Jace in his car seat because I thought he would go to sleep. So I heald him all the way to the ER to try and keep him awake. We got him all checked in and waited and waited and waited. Jace wasn't his spunky little self. He just sat there with us and let us cuddle him. Finally we got our turn to get a room, but we had to sit and wait another long time. That was when he snapped back into the Jace I know. He wanted to get down and play. But I didn't put shoes and socks on him or have anything for him to play with. So he was getting antsy. Then the Dr. came and gave us the ok to go home. Praise the Lord nothing worse happened. I am so glad he didn't have a concussion. That night thought he didn't sleep very good. I think he had a head ache. But after a little Tylenol and water he fell asleep.
