This weekend was just hard. Whenever Karlie is around life is so different.......not that I don't love her. I have to keep reminding Dae Lynn that she's only five but she just knows what buttons to push and it keeps her in constant trouble!! Whenever Karlie is around Dean she does things to keep him screaming, then Dae Lynn's yelling and the whole house is in an uproar!!!

Dae Lynn went to the jail and saw Damon and he talked to her about where he should go when he gets out of jail because he wouldn't come here with Glen upset with him so Dae Lynn came home all upset and talked to Glen about how he would feel about Damon moving in with us.......and let's just say that it didn't go well. I talked to Glen and he's willing to let him but it's not without hard feelings.......so Dae Lynn was in tears. I feel trapped in the middle because I can see both sides.

During all of this we had Chi Alpha here!! They are such a great group of kids!! We didn't have as many kids this year so that was a disappointment. There are several that have been here before so it's always good to see them. One I talked to is going on to get her Master's so probably won't be here again. I was so sad over that because she's so friendly!! She's from Malysia......one was from France......another from Napal. There's s so many different accents that you know that they're from different places!!! They played games in the meadow........carved pumpkins........roasted hot dogs and smores.......then went on a WILD hayrack ride!!! Everyone says that there's not a hayrack ride that compares to Glen's!!!! Chi Alpha was a nice distraction with all of the things going on with Dae Lynn.

Yesterday was church. I had to do children's church for Amy since she's sick. She had a movie all ready so we did that for the kids and they were really good at sitting still and watching it. Then we went out to eat with Dae Lynn and the kids, Kera and Daya, and Jaci and Nate. Dae Lynn had asked me to watch the kids while she went back to the jail to see Damon but at lunch we decided to go 4-wheeling with Jaci and Nate. I could tell that she was upset but she didn't complain about it. She CAN talk to him on the phone now a couple of times a day now.

So.....we went 4-wheeling!!! Jason (Amy's husband) came with Daya.......Jaci and Nate and Glen and I all went. Later a few other friends came and after the kids' naps Dae Lynn and the kids came. It was such a blast!!!! We rode around a dry creek bed. One of our friends, Steve, is a real dare devil!!! He's usually one to get hurt.....and I noticed that he was the only one with a helmet and padding!!! I'm sure that his wife makes him wear it!!! I got some GREAT pictures of him in the air!!! I'll post them soon.

Later we went over to another place that was all hilly and it was so much fun to ride there. I was really careful at first but soon got the hang of it but there were still places that were too steep for me!!! I stopped a lot and took pictures of the others!!

Right before we were ready to leave Glen rode up the side....not over the top but just up on a side and, I'm not sure what happened but I saw his motorcycle sliding down the hill with Glen beside it. We all ran over there to help and Glen was limping around. He just sat for awhile and the guys got his motorcycle put back up. It was about dark so we were ready to leave and Glen insisted that he could still drive back to the pickup. He got on the motorcycle, started it, then bent over like he was checking something on the motor. Dae Lynn started asking him what was wrong when he suddenly just fell over!! He had passed out!!! It probably wasn't but about 20 or 30 seconds but scared all of us half to death!!!! We decided that he WASN'T going to drive back but was going to ride back on a 4-wheeler with one of us. So Jason took his motorcycle up closer to the road so he could pick it up easier and Glen got on with Nate and we all drove back to the pickup. The guys made Glen take off his boot so we could determine if we needed to stop at the hospital on the way home but his ankle didn't look too bad. He kept telling us that it was just sprained.

I have a feeling that we're headed in to the hospital today to get it x-rayed!! He can't put any weight on it so we're going to have to check it out.

I should mention that he didn't hit his head!! Glen goes into shock or something whenever he gets hurt. I've never had him pass out but he gets light headed or shakes and shivers. Even having a cold is hard on him at first. His body just doesn't handle things like that well. So......it looks like we've got a day at the hospital ahead of us. I think that I'll see if Tammy can watch Dean for me for a while.
