Oops I Did it Again!

For real, I am NOT joking... he did it again! Just in case you are part of the 2% of the population that has not heard, Duff fell Wednesday night and broke his OTHER hip. He missed the last stair when he was going downstairs to turn off the lights. He was looking out the back window to see the snow, which in and of itself is quite amazing in Vegas, but misstepped and landed square on his hip. So Dr. Ficklin to the rescue. In his snow boots, he walked over to check out the situation. The initial diagnosis was maybe a deep muscle bruise because he had so much movement without pain. He hobbled upstairs slept OK and went in for an X-ray to see what the verdict was. Well the X-ray tech said in the 30 years that I have been doing this no one has ever walked in on crutches with a broken leg. Well apparently it wasn't his leg that was broken, just his other hip. He called to tell me the news... another surgery. FOR REAL, you are better be jokin' because that is not funny, but you better not be because that is just rude, but you better be because I can't handle this AGAIN! No joke!

So the surgery went well and after both the surgeries the doctor said his bones are strong. He said when I twist the screws in they squeak, which I guess means they are strong? All I know is that at first it was just funny, freakin' funny especially because I just sent my Christmas cards out which detailed some of this the first time. Little did I know that there were 14 days left in the year that would be just as memorable as May! So I think I will send an addendum of my card out in January, just to let you know where we stand. (Oh, I am too funny.) So the reality is starting to sink in 5 days prior to Christmas. I am scared that if I start to cry I won't stop. For the next two weeks I get to completely enjoy my ENTIRE family each and everyday! The joy in the journey couldn't be any more cruel and unusually blessed.

Poor Suzie called me to put in her two weeks notice and I think if she can I should be able to as well. Hopefully we will all survive this again, all I need is a positive attitude.

The shark card is from my friend Kristen and her husband, our Bishop, who assures me that he won't start any rumors of domestic violence.

So here is a shout out to all those who have called, stopped by the hospital, helped with the kids, dinner volunteers, church filler inners, doctors around the corner who might want to move out of the neighborhood because of the Stewart calls, friends who brought gifts (PSP from the Clique guys), so sorry your life sucks basket from Kim and Abe and anyone else who has contributed to the SAVE DUFF foundation.

Here she is...

Hey click - meet the newest member. Kinsley Belle was born Friday 12-12-08 at 1:19pm. She weighed 7 lbs 11 oz, 20 inches long.

NO WAY!!

Hey who wants to pitch in on a Christmas gift for Duff? I say we get a padded body suit and a motorized chair that goes up and down the stairs. Why? Duff fell last night and broke his other hip! Can you believe it? Hang in there Leslie. We're sure you can make it through this one too without getting divorced. I know a good attorney if you need one though! Let us know what you guys need.

Thanks for the fun weekend!!

Hope everyone had a good time- sorry Belinda, next time for sure! In fact we can leave Kevin behind if it makes you feel better. I really can't believe how great the kids were- that many kids and I didn't hear any fighting, whining, or grouchies AND I got to sleep in. We'll have to do it again soon.

SOOOO SAD!!!

Hey guys - I just wanted to let you know that I would have gone to Cedar with you over the weekend if I would have known. Kevin got the email and because he was going to be in Egypt he told you he couldn't go but never mentioned it to me. I would have gone without him. Hope we can do it again sometime. In the future, my hubby isn't good with realying messages. One time Leslie and I were suppose to meet for lunch and she waited for me but I never got the message from Kevin so I didn't show up :)

He guys its a...

Just wanted to let you know the newest member of the click is a GIRL!
Check out my blog for an update and pictures from Kevin and Riley in Egypt!

Click Spotting!

I thought it would be fun to take pictures of the random occasions when we run into each other.  We saw Duff in the Sonic drive thru so we snapped a picture.  You can't really see him thru the bush, but it is him!

Happy Birthday Donald!!

                                                                                                                                                 I thought Donald's lap dance should be saved for posterity's sake.....

So hows about a nice family vacation to Cedar City , Utah. I'm thinking maybe some time this summer we could coordinate a trip to the cabin. There's plenty to do around there- fish, hike, see a movie etc. The kids would love hanging out together and I don't think we'd go too crazy 'cause we could send them outside. Anyhoo think about it and we'll see. We can even hike to that little waterfall Jason is promoting above.

Dinner anyone?

We should try to have an adult dinner before we get together with all the little one for July 4th, which I hear is at or house since Duff is still all gimped up.  Anyone want to get together?

The Click is Getting a New Member?

Guess which one of the click wives is expecting?

SAVE DUFF

We heard from my cousin's uncle's stepsister's hairdresser that Duff lost his leg in a tragic ten story fall on a job near the Hoover Dam. Our prayers and thoughts are with him and we'll be hosting a candlelight vigil in his honor soon. Just joking Duff, we love ya...Geritol's in the mail.

-Jason

Shout out to Duff. We hope your tree climbing days aren't over!

All Screwed Up

Well here is my first post just to let you know how screwed up the Stewarts are. Yesterday morning Duff was at work and fell into a BBQ and landed on his hip. He broke his hip and had to have surgery on it last night. The Dr. had to put 3 screws in his hip to stabilize it. The procedure went well but we we only know after 6-8 weeks if the blood vessels will take. The doctor said he should be home in 2 days. He'll be haning out at home for 6-8 weeks recouping because he won't be able to put weight on the injury.

Meanwhile, Suz and Chewy will be STRESSED to the max trying to do all the stuff Duff does in a day. Hopefully all will be good and Duff can run A-1 Swimming Pool tile from his command center downstairs via his bedside.

I'll call you all later but just wanted to give some a heads up and once he is home feel free to visit. Especially come week 4 or 5 so we don't end up filing for divorce!!

Girl's Lunch

We had a girl's lunch the other day.  Only about half of us were able to make it this time, but hopefully we can do it again soon.  I snapped this picture of the little girls and thought you guys would like it.  

Run Leslie Run

Just thought I would let you know Leslie ran the 5K for the Susan G Komen Race for a Cure today and did it in about 28 minutes. Good job girl! Ryan ran too but I don't know what his time was. Maybe one day we can all do one togther! We could get our own T-shirts printed. It would be fun. Who's in?

Marvin wasn't on the blog...

Let me take this moment to apologize deeply.  I didn't realize that Marvin wasn't on the original email list for the blog.  I took a look at it this morning, because I was thinking it was odd that Marv and Shelly had not posted a comment, and they were not on the author list.  I am so sorry!  I don't know why I didn't catch it sooner.  So hopefully we will see some posts from the Bryan's soon.  

HELLO? IS ANYONE OUT THERE???

Hey Marvin and Shelley how about a pic of that baby girl- some of us haven't seen her yet. Anyone interested in a flashback night? Jason suggested Walleyball at the 5 star ChuckMinker complex followed by a fabulous meal at the ever famous Maccayo on Charleston.(Anyone want to share a TCT?) Think about it. I vowed never to return to Maccayo but I'll do it for all of you!!!!

Couples at Magan's Bay

Due to the lack of inactivity thus far on our Clique Blog, I decided to throw on some couple pics. I need some Pics of the Bryan's in case anyone is listening.

scratching not picking!!

I thought I would put this on before Ryan could, and so I could explain.  I am not picking my butt, so much as scratching my long back.

O.K since everyone is putting up their worst pictures I guess I'll just throw myself under the bus here and post this picture of Jason and I in Dominica. Although in my defense this was after about four of those delicious free drinks from the back of that nice guys pick-up truck.

Dinner set for this Friday!

Dinner is set for Friday.  Hopefully we can get a picture to replace this one.

Cruisin with the Click

The cuise was so much fun. From watching the Superbowl on board to swimming with the sea turtles - and don't forget the warm chocolate cake! Its always good times when the click gets together. Bryans should plan the next one so we are sure they can go!

HUH?

Suzie, don't you hate it when someone takes a picture of you unexpectedly?

Congrats to Ryan on the new job. Hope everyone had a fabulous Easter . My sister Tiffany had a baby boy yesterday(26th) no name to mention as of late. Good idea for this blog Angie- I would like one for myself (Hint for help). Hope to dine soon!!

Dinner Anyone?

So the hope is that you guys will all contribute to this and try to make it a fun or even funny place for us to visit and keep up with everyone is doing.

If you have something on your mind, tell us about it.

If you have funny pictures of your family or yourself, put them on.

I don't have a picture in my computer memory with the Bryans, so if you have one put it on.
