It never ends with Brody's teeth. At the end of December Brody became very sick and was almost hospitalized for an abcessed tooth. Luckily we were able to treat him at home. Four trips to the dentist, 5 teeth pulled and 3 root canals later throughout the month of January and we finally think we have all of his problems resolved. Well for now...
The abcessed tooth had spread into his sinus's and eye. We could hardly recognize him. These pictures are actually him on the mend.
For Brody's birthday we had a party at classic skating. Lots of friends and family showed up for the big adventure. Here is a picture of Nate, Lynette and Estella.
These days at the skating rink you can also use scooters. Here is Carey trying to be 8 again... :)
Me and Seeli- notice we aren't skating. I tried and made it around the circle once. I forgot how hard it is to skate. I can't believe at one point in my life a was a skating regular at classic.
Carey and Braxton...
Me, Sydney, Nate and Lynette- visiting not skating...
Do you think these boys are checkin out the cute skater girls?
It's the birthday boy!!!!!
My baby is 8!!!!!
This year the boys got bikes for Christmas. Even though it was snowy, they tried them out. They can't wait to ride them to school.
Every year my mom has all the grandkids over and they get to make gingerbread houses. Each child has their own house with tons of candy. They get to decorate their houses any way they want to and if there is left over candy they get to take it home (thanks a lot nana... cavities anyone?)
Brax and Avery
Nate and Estella
Brayden and Caedon
Finished gingerbread house. Nice job Brody!
Braxtons finished product...
It was a really fun Saturday. We had lots of good laughs and we all left with a sugar high.
The whole gang!
Last night we went out looking for our Christmas tree. We spent quite awhile looking for the perfect tree. Carey instructed the boys that the right tree would speak to us and let us know it should come home with us. The boys decided this was the tree that "spoke" to them. It was pretty cold but lots of fun.
Braxton put up the angel on the tree this year.
It took a lot of serious concentration to get the angel perfect.
My three helpers... It's so nice to have the tree, decorations and lights up and it's really starting to feel like Christmas. Now we just need SNOW!We hope all of our family and friends are healthy and happy. Have a great holiday season!
This Thanksgiving we did something totally different. Braxton and Brody went with their dad for the holiday, so Carey and I took off for a long weekend. We stayed in Las Vegas in the MGM signature towers. They were amazing! For Thanksgiving dinner we went to Shibuya's and had sushi. It was so fun to do something different. It was such a relaxing weekend. On the way home we golfed at Sand Hollow in St. George. The course was amazing. It was so beautiful and was the perfect way to end a weekend of fun.
Love that swing babe!!!!!!
FOUR!!!!!!!!!!!
My pro-golfer...
This is me in complete bliss after hitting a great drive.
Carey and I were able to take a quick weekend get away with our friends Tracy and Amy Smith. We went to Scottsdale Arizona. We golfed on Saturday morning, went to the Suns game that night and then on Sunday we went to the Transiberrian Orchestra. We had a blast. It was so nice to be in 85 degree weather for the weekend.
We sat on the seventh row and it was amazing!
Good Ole Shaq... That boy is huge!!!!!
And there's Nash... He's awesome!
