easter weekend and little z's first broken bone

Easter weekend started out with a bang... a not so good bang.  We went out to lunch on Friday and Zion stood up on a chair and tipped it over smashing his finger between the solid wood chair and the cement floor.  It was horrible.  We rushed him to our doctor's urgent care clinic because there was a lot of blood that we couldn't get to stop and the fatty tissue of his finger tip was bulging out of a deep cut on the end of his finger.  Sure enough his finger was broken and it also needed stitches but because of the angle of the cut the doctor couldn't get them in his tiny finger.  For the next 3 weeks he had to wear a splint that had to be changed every day because of the cut underneath.  It was so sad to see him in so much pain.  The night time was terrible for about a week because he would roll around in his sleep and bump it and he would wake up screaming multiple times a night.

We tried to take his mind off of it and continue on with life as normal.  First thing Saturday morning we got up and went to the Spanish Fork egg hunt.  Zion's ibuprofen had worn off during the night so he was a sad kid when we first got there, but he cheered up after a little while.  Getting to sit in the Firetruck helped make him happy, and also winning a little tricycle in the egg hunt.  Plus, the Barker family came down from Idaho and went with us, so he was happy to see his "best friends".

That afternoon we went to my granny Houtz's house for her annual egg hunt and bbq with all of my family.  Zion had fun finding eggs with all of his cousins.

Sunday morning was pretty low key.  The Easter bunny had bought Zion a new bike, but since he won the tricycle at the SF egg hunt, decided that it would make a great birthday present in July.  We went to the park for a couple hours in the afternoon and stopped by my parent's house for a little while, but mostly we just relaxed as a family.
