Has anyone ever seen their kids pass out, for whatever reason?
Well Brighton is a champion at it. She will get so upset, usually from being injured, that she will do the before-the-cry-pause too long and knock herself out cold.
I have seen her do it about four times. I told my sister-in-law while she was visiting and she actually got to experience it a little bit too. Well, today was Chad's first experience.
Brighton was pushing a stroller that was too tall for her and it knocked her backwards onto her head. BAM! Serious knock. So she rolls over and starts walking to Chad. As she is walking to him she is holding her breathe preparing to scream....and she keeps holding...and holding.....and holding....and her knees start to buckle. I yelled, "GRAB HER! She's gonna pass out!" (this seems like it took a long time, but it was all very quick). He scoops her up before she falls and she still is NOT breathing. So he is patting her on the back yelling, "BREATHE, BREATHE!" and....
BAM...she's out cold! Passed out in Chad's arms! She was only out for about 10 seconds, but it feels a lot longer. She woke up and basically forgot what all the commotion was about. She definitely was out of sorts for a while, though. Even though I knew it was coming, it still shook me up. I was so weird about it that I was crying and laughing at the same time. It is just such a weird thing that she does to herself.
She is our first and only kid to ever have this problem, and it is not too frequent, but sometimes. She mostly almost passes out. She has only fully passed out two of the SIX times that she has come close. But her eyes roll back and her lips turn blue, and everything else. It's pretty freaky. Now that I know she does it I am a little more prepared. It happens really quickly too. And she doesn't actually do it on purpose. It's just weird. Anyone else ever hear of kids doing that? or how to stop it?

Salem Tri
But it was still a lot of fun.


Bishop joined the fun and decided to race also. So we saw both of them passing by several times. The kids and I had fun playing with our awesome neighbors while waiting for the men to finish!

June Update

Catching up for May



T-Ball season has started. Chad is the assistant coach for Broc's team. Although coaching a bunch of rowdy and crazy 5-6 year olds is tough, he still enjoys it. Broc LOVES baseball. I think we have found his niche. He LOVES it! He cries whenever we have to stop playing.

Broc had kindergarten graduation. SERIOUSLY cute stuff. They had the kids dancing and singing all over the place. I took video with our regular camera so I don't know how to get it off of there. I'm sure it can be done, but I have no idea. So for now you'll just have to enjoy the pictures. Broc did a really good job and it was really put together very well. Thanks Mrs. Dimmick for a great year!! Can't wait until FIRST GRADE! All day for Broc! Yikes!

On May 8th, Broc's class went on a field trip to the zoo. I was able to go because Chad watched the girls! (Thanks DADDY!) It was really fun seeing how much they loved the zoo. It was a pretty quick trip because of the long drive and being home in time for school to let out, but it was really fun still. The boys were dying to see the ELEPHANTS the entire time and I made them wait until after the train and lunch. They were a little ticked. Then when we got there, the other little boy looked for about 10 seconds and was ready to move on. All that for 10 seconds! Come on!

This is what we really look like...
This was my latest conversation with Bailey:
Bailey: Do mommy's and daddy's cry?
Me: Sometimes they do.
Bailey: Yeah, like only when they are up front talking in church.
This makes me think of this post by my friend about her kids having the same opinion of church and adults.
