Happy Half-Birthday...or NOT!

Moriah's school celebrated her "half-birthday" yesterday since she has a summer birthday. It may have started okay...but it did not end that way (more about that at the end of the post). We'll start with the good stuff...

She rounded up some Ding-Dongs to bring to her class for her treat.
After school she had Basketball practice. She has really been enjoying it and improving tons every week.
Then we decided to go sledding as a family. Here are some pics:

Kayley after a wipe-out with Aunt Rachel:
Moriah running up for MORE!
Moriah waiting her turn...
Jake and Rach after a successful run:
Daddy and his boy:
(all Jake would say is: "Go" "More" and "Again")

Here's a video of the girls going down together:

And here's one of Moriah on a little jump.
We all had about 30 min of fun off this one:

Here's a great one of how Moriah passed the time waiting for her turn:

Then we found a big jump (another 30min of fun)!

Rachel (before and after)-

And a video of Moriah going off it:


And of course, Moriah wanted to do it ONE MORE TIME from the TOP of the hill.

Here's the infamous picture...

Which then lead to this picture:(I circled the important part in case you couldn't see the collar bone break!)

Which lead to this picture:

Poor Moriah.

Officially, the clavicle is snapped in the middle and 50% angulated (so it looks like a tee-pee instead of a line). Luckily they are not separated much so she shouldn't need surgery...but no more Basketball this year! :(

  1. I can't believe she's still smiling after all of that...what a trooper! Hope she heals quicker than expected! We'll keep her in our prayers. We don't want her basketball career to get squelched!

  2. At least she was doing something fun when it broke, it makes a great story.. it could have been really boring like your little brother tackling you (how embarrassing)
