| For Kaylea, this has been the best of times. Kaylea was voted 1st attendant for the Homecoming royalty. Tyler, the boy she's been dating was also voted 1st attendant. The girls got to be in the Homecoming parade...the boys didn't. |
 |
| I wasn't able to watch the parade, but Steve, Aunt Erin, and Kaylea's cousins came to see her. Erin said her daughters were disappointed that Kaylea wasn't dressed in her princess dress for the parade. |
 |
| During Half-time at the Homecoming Game, the dads got to walk their daughters out on the field. It was so cute to see Kaylea and Steve interact. I think she looked like a princess, I hope she felt like one. |

| Great, great high school memories! |
 |
| For Conner, it's been the worst of times. Conner went with his dad to the BYU/Utah football game on Saturday. It was a horrible, depressing, blowout. 54-10. On Tuesday evening, I was shopping for a Homecoming dress in Salt Lake, when I got a call. Conner was hurt, we're positive his arm or wrist is broken. We have called an ambulance. |
 |
| I met the ambulance at the hospital. Conner was in pretty good spirits. Aunt Erin came over to the football field from her house and was with him until the ambulance took him away. I think that was a comfort to him. Steve was in Florida on business. |
 |
| This is in the Emergency Room. |
 |
| If you look at the bend in his "wrist", that's not exactly where his wrist is supposed to be. Apparently he broke the growth plate completely off of his radius. |
 |
| Because the growth plate is such a sensitive area, they called in an orthopedic surgeon to look at it, and even thought about sending him to Primary Children's hospital. The Surgeon said they could set it, but were worried that Conner might flinch, or bump it, and traumatize the growth plate more. They decided it would be best to take him to the operating room and put him to sleep before they set the arm. |
 | |
| He was happy, he didn't want to be awake while they were setting it. He'll be out of football for the season. Conner was riding home from a football game on a four wheeler with his friend. They were pulled over by the police and given a ticket for not wearing a helmet. (It was a Ranger, and they had seat belts on.) Conner came home, gave me all the money in his wallet, along with the ticket, and said, "This is the worst week of my life." |
