Thanksgiving Day Fun

We had a fun Thanksgiving with the Andersens. We missed Brandon and Katie, Eric, Annie, and Cameron. I did not get a lot of pictures, but I hope Robbie will share the ones she took. The kids had a great time making foam decorations and painting wooden soldiers.

Jazz beat Lakers - We were there!

Friday night Garrick and I were invited to the Jazz game by a diary supplier. Ben, Robbie, Greg, and Gwen were also there. It was a fun time. We were in the boxes at the very top of the Delta Center (now called the Energy Solutions Arena). They fed us dinner before the game and snacks at half-time. It turned into a great game, and Trevor woke up to the excitement in the last 2 minutes. He was scared, because it was so very loud. Posted by Picasa

Kaitlyn Lost a Tooth

It is not her first tooth, because the dentist had to pull two, but it does make her look like an official Kindergartner. The other tooth is loose, so it won't be long before that hole doubles in size! Posted by Picasa

Garrick is Runner-Up in Farm Bureau Discussion Meet

I was so proud of Garrick. He did a super job in the discussion meet, and after it was over I was so sure he had won. So many people came up to me and said he had to be the winner, but we were not the judges and they chose a different winner to recieve the four-wheeler. Garrick recieved a check for $100, and will get the opotunity to compete again next year! Posted by Picasa

Honorable Mention for Kaitlyn's Reflections Entry

Kaitlyn also recieved an award for the picture she took of Dan Allen's horse. She loves to go feed the horses, so she chose that as her favorite place. She recieved a medal for her good work. They displayed all of the Reflections entries durring parent teacher conferences, so that is where the second picture is taken.

Kaitlyn's Teeth Surgery

Kaitlyn had been having some teeth that were hurting her, and since there was so much to be done (two teeth pulled out and spacers put in their place, three caps and baby root canals, fill two other cavities, and some other stuff) the dentist conviced me that it would be best to have her put to sleep. Monday was the big day. She couldn't eat after midnight Sunday night, and her surgery didn't end up starting untill about 2:00 in the afternoon. So that was a long day. She was very brave, but the medicine that they gave her into the IV when the surgery was over so she wouldn't feel pain when she woke up did not go into her vein because the IV was not in the vein. Needless to say she was in alot of pain when they brought her to me. THe nurses said it was normal for her to ack like that coming out of anestisia, but was telling me that her arm hurt and her teeth hurt. finally I asked a nurse if we could get the IV out and go home. When she went to take it out she realized that Kaitlyn's arm was all swollen and that the IV had not been going into a vein. Anyway, she is just fine now, but it was a very long day for us.

Halloween Night!

The kids had fun trunk-or-treating with dad. It was cold, and I was sick so Trevor and I just stayed in the van. Then Trevor and I stayed at CeCille's house while everybody else went to the carnival to eat and play. As they were walking in someone handed Garrick a stack of tickets they didn't want anymore, so the kids got play lots of games and won cakes, stuffed animals, and treats!
