Braces

Yes I know it sucks! But I am an official brace face. It is not fun as an adult, but I cant wait till my teeth are straight. One reason why I decided to do it is because I found this program and it was called 6 month smiles. It was just what I needed at a price we could afford. The dentist, Ryan Gunn, at All About Smiles offers the program and he does a great job! So hopefully they will be off in about 6 months! They are white or tooth colored as they said at the dentist office so they aren't as noticeable which I love!

Wrestling

Brock and Corbin are doing wrestling this year and went to their firts tournament at Canyon View High School a few weekends ago. They really did well and Blake and I were so proud of them! They each wrestled 3 times. Brock lost his first, won his second, and lost his third. He took 3rd place! Brock was never pinned though, he only lost rounds by points. He is a fighter, he never gives up, he just keeps pushing and fighting to the end! We were so proud of how well he did for his first time! Corbin won his first lost his second and lost his third (but it was a close one). He tied for 2nd place! He is so aggressive and puts his whole heart into it! He is so funny to watch! We were so proud of him too for how hard he worked! Next tournament they will hopefully have learned more and will do better! Good job boys!!

 

 

HAPPY BIRTHDAY BROCK!!

I can not believe Brock is seven!! Where did my little boy go? He is getting to be so grown up! We had the DeMille's over for cake and ice cream on Brock's birthday. And of course we opened presents. He was very spoiled with all the things he could ever want! It is always fun to get all the cousins together - they had a blast!

 

 

Then the next day (Friday) we had a friend party at Dance Magic's dance studio. Ever since we went to Hawaii and Brock saw a shark while snorkeling, he has loved sharks. He tells me he wants to grow up to be a marine biologist. Anywho, he wanted a shark themed birthday party! So we did! We had cupcakes with blue frosting and gummie sharks on them, and a shark pinata, everything was different shades of blue and white. We fished in the shark pond for our goodie bags that had shark fruit snacks, shark stickers, and a shark water squirting toy! We played a quessing game that the kids had to ask questions to guess which sea creature was pinned on their back, didn't work so well with a mirror (I didn't think of that aspect of the dance studio). And we played a shark attack game where the kids had baloons pinned to their bums and thumb tacks stuck to their noses with a bandaid, and they had to crawl around on their hands and knees trying to pop each others balloons! It was funny! I think they all had a good time and Brock had a great birthday!!

 

 

Brock is my tender hearted little boy! He is sooo good! He is very obedient, very helpful, very kind, and has a huge imagination. He and Corbin are best buds! Brock is always coming up with new games to play, he loves to draw pictures and make new things, and he loves to learn (especially about science). He loves to sit down and look at and read books, mostly non-fiction about animals or volcanoes or something like that. He is such a good friend a loves to play with his friends and is always making new friends! Brock has begun to really develop his own testimony and always reminds us to have fmily home evening every week! He has been such a blessing in our lives and we can't believe how grown up he is getting! We love you Brock!

Cedar High Wrestling Tournament

We went to the Bantam Wrestling tournament at Cedar High School for Brock and Corbin. Blake had to go to Lake Powell for our houseboat work party that Saturday so I took the kids. I constantly kept Blake updated on their progress via text, he really wished he could be there! Both boys really wrestled well! Brock took third in his group! He wrestled two other kids and never gave up, he is definitely a fighter! Corbin took second in his group! He wrestled three other kids and also did so good! Corbin is very aggressive and competitive and he is quite strong for his age. We were so proud of them both! It was a fun time and even Daxton and MaKelle did good having to sit through it all!

Presley's Blessing Weekend

My sister Beca and her husband Ryan were blessing their new baby girl, Presley, so I took Daxton and Makelle and went up north. I rode up with my sister Emily and we stayed at my parent's house. It was lots of fun! We stayed up late visiting and watching movies, and Emily and I even got away during nap time to do some shopping at the mall! Most of my family was able to get together at the Pizza Factory for dinner an then go bowling afterwards. The twins loved bowling, especially Daxton! It was a fun weekend and the blessing was beautiful, Ryan did awesome! And little Presley was beautiful - like an angel!

At PF!
