Teeth- One Less

Well, the excitement of losing your first tooth has struck our home! Cameron has had a lose tooth, that I noticed 1 month ago, and the anticipation of it coming out has built! Since Sunday it has gotten really lose and I thought for sure it would have come out a couple of days ago. But of course I have to remember that Cameron is super nervous of the unknown. So he really wanted it to come out, but didn't want it to hurt. So he NEVER wiggled it with his finger. He would only let me wiggle it (than ask me "is it looser?") and use his tongue. The last few days though he wouldn't even let me touch it. So tonight as we were gathered together in our front room Cameron was sitting on David's lap and he bumped his mouth on David's chest. The tooth flipped over some how. I don't even understand how it happened, but it was still attatched! Of course it was bleeding some. It took a lot of coaxing and some force to get the tooth out finally by David. Cameron was so excited. He was crying at first because he was so scared it would hurt. He reminds me so much of me when I was little! He was jumping up and down so excited after it came out though. And it didn't hurt he said. Something new to show his friends at school and a surprise under his pillow tomorrow morning!
Cameron with his lose tooth, the bloody, twisted tooth after he bumped David, and the end product in his hand! And Melanie wanted in the picture too, so here she is! What a great POSE!!

Yeah!

Kyle just lost his first tooth a few months back and that was such a cool thing for him. I forgot how cool it was to loose teeth. Fun!

How close have you been to a Prophet?

David, and two other guys he works with, were invited to the Jazz game last Friday night. I have come to find out as a construction wife, to get business, you gotta play A LOT ! Here is a short list, not limited to, of what I mean by "play": Golfing (about 3 times a week-depending on the week and in warm weather of course) Snow skiing (about 2 times a week, again this depends on the week and when there's snow) Fancy dinners (this can also be counted as lunch, which happens more than I know I'm sure!) Executive Retreats (this will be happening in February for about 5 days in AZ, which will have all 5 days full of golfing, guaranteed!!) Jazz games (again, when in season) I don't know about you, but I think I'm in the wrong career!! This house wife things just does not include ANY of those benefits!! Anyway, on with the story at the Jazz game... These weren't just ordinary tickets. Where do executives and people in high places sit? Oh yeah, ...

Our New Family Pictures

I have been on the hunt for a really good photographer for a long time here and there.  And I think I found one that did everything I wanted.  First, she comes and looks at the feel of your home.  For us I just sent pictures of our living room where I wanted the pictures placed.  Then she suggests colors to wear and sent pictures back with our room and picture placements she puts on the walls.  And with 5 kids, especially Jenna, you really have to photo shop A LOT!!  Almost every photo with Jenna she had to photo shop.  She did amazing!!  I was so nervous when we went over and viewed our pictures at her house.  As David put it after our photo shoot “She has to be a magician to get anything good out of that!  That was a disaster!”  After looking at our proofs I said, “well, you are a magician!”  And David said after leaving and climbing in our car to go home “That was worth every penny.”  Success! I do have a few faces to...

Melanie’s Calling in Life

Image
Two Days ago Melanie was getting ready to go out the door.  She had her coat and was looking for her other jacket.  I asked her why she needed it when she already had her coat on.  She said she was going to take it to her friend at school, Humana, because she wears 3 jackets and doesn’t have a coat.  5 minutes later Melanie asked me “Mom, can we buy Humana a coat?”  I had already been thinking about that but told Melanie I would look while I was out to see if I could find one.  I went to 3 different stores to look!  Winter coats in that size are hard to find these days!  But I finally found something at Walmart and got gloves and a hat.  My friend, Angela, who drove carpool that morning called me while I was out looking.  She called worried because Melanie had said on the way to school that her friend didn’t have a coat and was sleeping on the floor.  I told her I knew about the coat and was getting one but Melanie hadn’t mentioned ...
