FOTY!

Well Jason is the official FOTY - Fireman of the year. We went to an awards banquet on Tuesday where he was given the honor. He doesn't feel like he deserves it because he does what he loves and so it doesn't seem like work. His new nickname is FOTY! Enjoy the pictures. Doesn't he look good in his Class A's?

Now both boys have had an ER visit

Last night, I went into help the boys wash their hands from eating chocolate strawberries. I went out the garage door and they went out the front door. All of a sudden Jason and I hear a blood curdling scream. Never heard one before and don't want to again. Thomas ran out first and slammed the door closed not know that James' finger was there. Because of the blood building up under his nail and the immediate swelling I took him to the ER. Thomas cried when we left because he wanted to go with us to make sure James was okay.

James was perfect. They gave him two x-rays and burnt a whole in his finger nail to drain the blood and release the pressure. He didn't even flinch. Right after they drained the blood he immediately felt a lot better. He broke the tip of his middle finger. They put a splint on the top of his finger so he does not bump it. He calls it his rocket so he is really excited. We hope they won't do it again for another rocket!

When we got home Thomas had made James a card. It was so sweet to see their reunion. I just wish I could have used James' Tylenol with codeine because I needed it after this day!
