Cavity Free!

We went to the dentist (Todd Huntington) on Monday to have checkups. Kabri and Koby also had to have teeth pulled to get ready for braces in a couple years. Kabri had four teeth pulled and Koby had one. Todd gave me these pictures of past checkups and made me promise to post them. Their picture is posted on the board when they go for their checkups and don't have cavities.

Reba & Kelly . . . . and, who's that? Barbara Jean!!!

Sean and Bre had tickets to the Reba & Kelly concert. Lucky me, Sean decided he didn't really want to go. So, they gave me his tickets for Christmas! Because Bre works for Zions, she gets to buy tickets before they actually go on sale. So, we were on the 13th row of the FLOOR!! Just before the concert opened Barbara Jean (Melissa Peterson from the Reba show) came out a performed her stand-up comedy. Hysterical. I loved this, being the avid Reba show fan that I am. She also came out half way through the show.

The mix between Reba and Kelly was awesome. It was a little different show than Reba usually puts on. Danyale and I bought Reba tickets from a scalper about 100 years ago and the show then was almost a broadway production. She had dancers and changed her clothes about 5 times. This was a little more low-key, but was still way awesome!!

Thanks Bre and Sean!!

Oh! The envy

Kolton got his retainer yesterday! He was ear-to-ear smiles on the way to the orthodontist's office. Apparently teeth-adjustment apparatuses is the hot look in 4th grade. Anyone who is anybody has braces or a retainer at the minimum.

Once we got back, Kabri and Koby could hardly stand it. I tried to tell them that braces and retainers are painful. But, they were still convinced they weren't painful enough to not still want them. . . . until Kolton then came up about a half hour after going to bed crying because his teeth hurt. A little tylenol and he was back on his way to "keeping his cool" as he put it.

Sunday dinner at the Bulter's

Jack and Dianne have all of us over for Sunday dinner once or twice a month. I was trying out a new lens last night and took some pictures. Usually we eat and then hang out pretty much all night.

OK, so I made the girls all get in a picture. This took us a while because I couldn't figure out how to set the automatic timer on my new camera - thanks for your diligence girls. Only the two pregnant girls whinned about it. But, they were troopers. I have to say publicly that I love these girls. I am grateful to have married into a big family of boys so that I get the pleasure of having wonderful sister in laws. May we all grow old together.


These were my favorite pictures of Bron (bottom) and Ryde (top), the two youngest boys.



Brax was hammin' it up for me. I took about 100 pictures of him running around on the deck. Up until it got too cold and we had to go inside.

Nothing like the Fall

The kids and I joined Jared and the rest of his "hunting buddies" on the skyline for Friday and Saturday of the muzzeload hunt. We, of course, didn't hunt. That would require getting up early and suffering from the cold. I will take none of that. We slept warm, cozy, and late in the trailer.

The Fall colors were incredible. I couldn't resist stopping to take pictures the whole way down. Jared loved that - he was pulling the trailer and having to stop at very narrow places, but it was worth it. I wished I would have had clean clothes for the kids and had them take a shower before we left. They are a little dirty - we were camping after all. Oh well, you get the idea.






These are for those of you with the unlucky misfortune of not living in God's country.
