Mallory Update

Well it has been a while since I have posted anything...we have been super busy. A few months ago Mallory started limping on her right foot just slightly. We ignored it for a while because when I called the Dr. he asked if she was complaining or if there was any swelling or redness and there wasnt. No cuts bruises, swelling, or redness. So we waited a few days and after it didnt go away we took her to the dr. Again he said it was probably nothing since there were no signs of a break or fracture. He told us to wait about 2 weeks and if it wasnt any better to come back...and it was no better if anything it was worse. She still didnt complain but the limp was way more pronounced so we took her back and they did xrays and blood work to check for an inflammatory disease or pediatric arthritis. Both came back negative so he sent us home and told us to wait 2 more weeks. Well it got even worse. We tried not to talk about it in front of her because we didnt want her to fake it. she is a little bit of a drama queen. So when we got back from vacation it was worse and she started complaining that her leg hurt ... we took her to a pediatric bone and joint dr at Vanderbilt. He did more xrays and has ordered more blood work...in the mean time he has her in a cast to keep her from moving her foot so that it doesnt get any more irritated since it seems to be worse the more she walks on it. So that is our summer drama. Keep her in your thoughts..hopefully they will find out soon what is causing it. here are some pictures of her little pink cast...isnt it pitiful!

More pics to come later of our vacation.

Strawberry Patch!

We had never been to a strawberry patch to pick strawberries before even though we talked about it a lot it just never seemed to work out. So on this beautiful summer day we decided it was a good idea. It was a very hot day...but the girls had a good time or at least Mallory did. Hannah was not that into it after just a few minutes. Mallory kept trying to eat the strawberries and that was really grossing me out because they werent washed yet. I told her there were bugs on them but she didnt seem to mind. So while I was picking I noticed she was quiet I turned to look and ....Now you see them...

Now you don't. She ate every one of the berries in her basket...then got mad at Hannah because she wouldnt give her any of hers.

She had strawberry form head to toe!

There was a field of mopperglows (dandelions) so of course that was Hannah's favorite part.

Here was Mallory eating strawberries again!

When we got done we were so hot we decided to get some strawberry honey popsicles...they were very yummy....although Hannah didnt think so!

Ok here is more on what has been going on at the Rogers' house...we have new family members their names are Mickey and Minnie mouse. They are turtles that my husband surprised me with when I got home from a weekend I spent with family. Mallory is the only one besides Robert that will touch them so I guess they are hers. She is the one who named them also.
Here are the girls at the hotel after a long night of swimming Here is a picture of me with some of my cousins and thier kids at my uncles funeral.

And next my baby graduated from preschool on Thursday May 14th. It was a very sad day for me and Robert. I cant even imagine where the time has gone.

Here she is waiting for the program to start. She was so nervous I didnt really think she would actually go up on the stage and do her part.. but she really surprised us and did very good. Much better than the time I spent the money on a gymnastics recital and she cried the entire time. That was just last summer.

Here she is going on stage to get her diploma. She is telling her teacher that her favorite center is blocks.


Her with her aunt Jess!

Daddy wouldnt look at the camera because he was crying.

Thats all for now!

Update!

I am updating...we have had a lot going on lately. I havent posted in a while because we have been so busy. These pics were from a trip that me, Hannah, and Jessica took to Gatlinburg for a girls weekend getaway. We had a blast. I have lots more post to make about other things but need more time...maybe tomorrow. Here is me and Hannah at the Applebarn for dinner.
Hannah doing what she loves most...swimming. We had to tell her the pool was only opened at night because she drove us crazy to take her swimming...she didnt want to do anything else.

Playing mini golf.

Hannah was so tired while we waiting for our table at the Dixie Stampede she fell asleep on Jessica's shoulder.

This was Hannah's favorite thing about the entire weekend...the Dixie Stampede. She hooted and hollered and danced the entire time.

Stars cars museum.

Here we are at the stars cars museum in the flinstone car.
