I WIN!!!!

I feel almost better about WINNING than the money. For real. It's nice to know that the judge listened to what I said and to be validated that we got taken. LOVE LOVE LOVE winning! I am a Lynden Lion. and that's what I do.

Setting: Sunday afternoon, family gethered together for post baby blessing (which was wonderful) lunch. Amy inside helping prepare the lunch. Shad outside with many nieces and nephews playing.
Shad is pulling the rope swing with Kelton in it. Kelton goes really really high. Sam runs in front of Kelton's swinging rope swing. BANG
"aunt Amy! Sam is bleeding!"
"ok"
"no, Amy, he's bleeding bad!"







Sam ran in front of the swing, and Shad didn't have time to react, nor did Kelton. the swing/Kelton hit Sam, and he went flying onto the concrete. I am so thankful for all the quick help we received by both family and medical staff.
Sam was put into unconscious sedation, and when he was coming out, we looked like:
Shad-an indian
Amy-weird with lots of eyes
Kelton-not kelton
A long emotional day, but all is well at the Johnson's home. My boys sure love each other.
whilst in the hospital Kelton climbed onto the bed with Sam:
"Sam, I am so sorry I hit you"
"it's ok Kelton, it's ok" while he pats his big brothers tummy...

Life skills class.... At school they are teaching life skills throughout the year. Kelton brought home flour, yeast, and the directions on how to make a loaf of bread. He followed the directions meticulously, he even remeasured the teaspoon of salt more than once because some of it fell off the spoon when he lifted it off the counter.
I must say, I am impressed. It was quite tasty. He made 2 loaves, then sent me to the store to get the exact same ingredients to make more. He has now made 6, and we love it!
