This week Taylor had yet another 'injury'. Did I mention she is a magnet. I have to fake being sympathetic at this point :) She got hit in the face on Monday night and by Wednesday morning had a ginormous lump with pus and blood oozing from it! She was pretty freaked out and, honestly, so was I! It looked like her tooth was poking out from the top of her gums. She was crying a little and after trying to calm her down, I asked her what was wrong and she said "I'm going to look like Derek!" (poking out front teeth) I just laughed! After a morning of trying to figure out which dentist I trusted (pitts or healy-still going with neither!) we ended up extracting 2 teeth. She is normally the calmest and toughest kid at any appointment (she'll never complain to them) but she had herself so freaked out this time...she was actually crying in the chair. She did have laughing gas and after we left she was embarrassed because I told her she was yelling a little :) She had a nasty infection that had exploded out the side. yuck! That night, though, everyone surprised us and showed up with pudding and treats and a hug. Noelle brought an especially 'touching' card saying she was sorry for wacking her and that she looked ugly :) . We don't have weeknight parties with everyone anymore (everyone's too busy these days!) so it was a fun night :) Taylor felt very special!
We had a yummy soup dinner at Becca's to celebrate Rachel's 2nd birthday. Rachel IS kimmy...she looks more like 3!
Zacky started basketball season...so he was excited about getting new high-tops! And this is what he wore to school the day he got them :) We also got to go to a Jazz game last night with the kids. They had fun with their slapsticks! They collected about 20 after the game too!
*Taylor had a sad night last week...we went to the Reflections program...she entered a 80 page book in to the literature category...she didn't make it to state and was VERY sad! She spent a LOT of time on it (so did I on the editing!) I figured she'd win because she always gets lucky in competitions (like winning the drug free writing competition)
And I got a new camera for early Christmas :) So I played with Zacky a little...the kids are just thrilled ;)
Taylor got a new hoodie from grandma Drexie :) She LOVES hoodies...I can't seem to get her to wear anything else!
Zacky got a new gun...an "army guy" came to speak at his school last week and ever since he says he wants to be in the army when he grows up and is constantly playing 'war'
Grandma Gayle took Taylor and Noelle on a special girls trip to Las Vegas to visit Alexis and Arianna. They had a blast! Build-a-bear, shark place?? shopping for books, McDonalds and just hanging out together. What a great idea grandma! :)
The last shot is a picture I found on Taylor's camera....it's NOT her boyfriend Austin Earl :) I laughed when I found it....I have no idea where she took it! Sneaky girl!
