I got the Boot!

Yes I got the boot! I was thinking that I was a ballerina from the nutcracker and Maddison her friends and I were bustn' out our sweet moves when I went to do a turn and heard a pop. After that my foot hurt for a while but I thought it would go away. Well after two weeks of pain I decided to go into the doctor. Thinking it was nothing we did an x-ray and low and behold I had broke the top of my foot. But it had started to heal so I was given the BOOT! I was excited because a cast did not sound fun at all. Although the boot is better it still is hard to walk on ice and in the snow!! Incase you are wondering....I have learned my lesson and becoming a profession ballerina when I grow up is now out of the question!!

Fire Station Phobia

Today Maddison's Preschool went on a field trip to the fire station and we were told of it last Thursday and for days every time the field trip was mentioned she would cry and say she did not want to go. We finally found out why she did not want to go and that was because she thought she had to go into the station that was on fire and it scared her to death. So last night we drove passed the fire station and showed her that it was not on fire and that it was where they parked the firetrucks. After she saw it she was ready for the field trip she had a blast. They talked to the kids about what the firemen wear, what they sound like with their masks on, that you should have a meeting place if there is an emergency and what the inside of a fire truck looks like.

Project Teddy Bear

Hey I am collecting stuffed animals For the Famuly Support & Treatment Center in Orem and Midvale. If any of you have any stuffed animals you would like to get rid of please let me know I will be taking them down this Saturday. Anything will help please donate!

What it is.......

Both centers have the mission of preventing and treating child abuse through education, therapy and outreach. Crisis nurseries are available for children who have been abused, are in danger of being abused or are awaiting placement in a foster home. A soft teddy bear to hug during these times of trauma or loneliness is a great comfort to the children. At-risk children also undergo therapy sessions at the centers throughout the year. A teddy bear gives them something to hold during sessions, provides much-needed comfort and helps in the healing process. It may also be the onlyChristmas present a child receives.

Last year, Bank of American Fork collected more than 6,000 stuffed animals. Sadly, that was not enough to provide a stuffed animal to each child that walked through the centers’ doors. Each center sees an average of 50 children each day.
