Our Week

Monday night was busy with basketball, Girl Scout's, Wrestling and a trip to the emergency room. Cody broke his arm wrestling the coach, I guess that is what happens when the person you are wrestling weighs 100 lbs more. Cody was a real trooper and did not even cry. And he has not complained at all. Now we just have to pray he does not need surgery.

Our first broken bone:
Chey is loving cheer leading and surprisingly I am enjoying coaching her team. They are a hardworking and sweet group of girls.

Then we went to a Wake Forest Basketball game. The kids loved it.Cody is too cool for pics with the Deacon I guess.
The Deacon kept sitting next to Chey.
