Parker and I make the drive from Logan to Alpine almost every Friday. School all week and wedding stuff on the weekends. Sometimes it feels like we just got back up to Logan when it is time to turn around and go back to Alpine. Bonding experience number one, spending four hours a weekend in the ca together. Which leads us to Bonding experience number two, on one of these Fridays we were headed to Alpine when the Jeep just stopped working. The Jeep had never broken down before! It should have been awful but it turned into an all day adventure. My mom ended up meeting us in salt Lake with some of my nephews and since there was no way we could make it to the cake testing we had been hurrying home for we decided roller skating was necessary. I love roller skating and Parker is kind enough to take me from time to time even though at the rink in Logan the highest size skate the carry is a 12 and Parker wears a size 15. So as you can imagine we really thought our luck had changed when we found that good ole HollyWood Connections carried a size 14 skate. And for a while things were looking up, in fact I think that I was looking up too, I know I wasn't looking in front of me because I was very surprised when my nephew and I collided. This brings us to Bonding experience number three. Eventually Parker convinced me we should go to the doctor, I was not to happy when that resulted in this:
Yes that is a picture of my right hand and arm in a cast. Please note how the cast goes all the way up my thumb. I had no idea until this freak roller rink accident how much i used my right thumb. Take sometime to notice how hard it is to do things without moving your right thumb. This brings us to several new Bonding experiences. Parker not only had to help me whenever I needed to write something or type something. He even had to help me with my hair! He learnt how use the straightener and although we are still working on the braids he is pretty good at putting it in a pony tail.
At first I was so frustrated to have such a big awkward cast, but I got it off after a couple of weeks and now with two free hands it's just kind of funny. Now I guess we can just look at is as a really great bonding experience.
hahaha, love. I love that he did your hair.
ReplyDeleteAH! Thanks so much for the pictures, it just makes the story that much better!! I miss you guys, come back to utah and hang out with me :)
ReplyDeleteEven though I knew that Parker helped straighten your hair, it just barely clicked at how funny that really is. And though Parker is, of course, sweet to participate in this sort of bonding, you, Jess are very brave to let him do your hair...though it still looked cute. Glad the cast is off.
