Cameron came home from school 2 days ago so excited he had another tooth loose! He was ready for me to pull it out with floss then and I said he had to wait. I also new it wasn't quite ready to be pulled yet. And David agreed. So yesterday Cameron came home again from school and it was even more loose. He must have been wiggling it all day. No flossing string in the house. Cameron was bummed. So at bedtime David suggested he bite down on an apple really hard. He didn't think Cameron would really do that! But he did!! He was chomping down on an apple so hard over and over again. When David asked to see it, the tooth was sticking straight out. One hard yank from dad and it was over.
When I went upstairs Cameron was dreaming of all the money the tooth fairy was going to bring him. "Maybe it'll be $15!! Or maybe $10!! I said, "maybe a $1 or even $.25." Cameron came out with "or maybe $20!!!" Yeah, keep dreaming buddy. He woke up this morning to $1 bill and he told me "now I can buy 4 fruit snacks from the lunch lady." WHAT??? "If I give the lunch lady $1 I get 4 fruit snacks!!!" All that work for 4 fruit snacks? I don't know if the reason he worked so hard to get his tooth out was to get the fruit snacks, to impress a girl, or because it is the last day today before going off track and he wanted to show his buddies. I'm just glad it's over!

Just thinking of my teeth coming out gives me the chills, I always hated that. I probably won't be able to deal with teeth pulling when our kids are old enough, that'll have to be Chad's baby.

How funny! It's good he isn't scared of losing the teeth. Also, in the picture, from that angle, man he looks like Chris Lee!

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 ...
