Hummingbird Nest and Broken Arm




Some people from Alex's work had a little get together down in Sanpete County. The highlights from this outing were the hummingbird nest we found which is pretty remarkable. Alex first spotted the tiny nest with tiny little eggs in it about the size of jelly belly's. The nest itself was not more than two inches wide total. When we went back to get a picture of it the mother hummingbird was just sitting in it as still as could be. Sage snapped this picture of it and I must say she did get an excellent shot of it. She is quite the little wildlife photographer.



While we were there Alexa had a slip and fall on the slippery rocks in the river and broke her arm. While not the first broken bone of the summer (Noah broke his toe on 6/22) it is the first cast in our family. These pictures were taken about 3 days later. That is our good friend Ana wrapping the cast, she is a PA at our Pediatrician's office.






Thanks Ana!!!

How did I guess. Somehow I knew it was going to be tuff little Alexa. She is the only one that could handle a broken arm. She is the only one that will take extra care of it and worry about it. I love her and miss you guys. Keep posting. It gets quiet around here.
