Gotta Go Back, Back, Back to School Again

School started back up for both of the boys yesterday. Carter is a big 2nd grader and Spence is attending another year of pre-school. They were both excited. When I asked them how their days went, Carter said, "Great!" and Spencer said, "I wish I could stay here all day." That seems to be a good sign. We'll see how they feel about school in a month, or even a week.


Spencer was so excited about the fact that he gets to take a lunch to school this year. Pre-school ends at 11:30, but they can stay until 12:00 and eat lunch with the teacher if they would like. He chose to stay, of course! It was so cute watching him put all of his stuff in his lunch box when he was done. I wish I would have brought my camera for that.

Carter's Teeth

As many of you know, and some of you may not, we have had A LOT of problems with Carter's teeth. He has had to go under TWICE to have the dentist fix multiple teeth at one time. Well, for the past two years Carter hasn't had any cavities! Which totally rocks! But, with that being said, it doesn't mean that we haven't had any problems. Last night Carter said that his tooth was hurting and I examined it with my professional eye. He brushed his teeth and used some ACT mouth wash and we flossed his teeth. I then gave him some Advil and put him to bed. I told him that if his tooth still hurt in the AM, we would take him to the dentist. He woke up this morning and said his gums still hurt and Yada, Yada, Yada... he had an abscess tooth. I had to take him to the dentist and they had to pull it. Good news is it was a baby tooth, bad news is, he won't get his permanent tooth for another couple of years. Oh, well!

Now, if you are interested in the yada, yada part, you will have to give me a call. It is pretty horrific. I mean gross, like horror movie gross and I thought I would spare you all the details. If you are into horror, give me a call and I will gladly share the details with you because misery loves company!

Memory Game

Concentration anyone?Here is what you do:

1. Add a comment to this post on my blog, leave one memory that you and I had together. It doesn’t matter if you knew me a little or a lot…anything you remember!

2. Next, re-post these instructions on your blog and see how many people leave a memory about you. It’s actually pretty cool (and funny) to see the responses.

If you leave a memory about me, I’ll assume you’re playing the game and I’ll come to your blog and leave one about you.

Trip to Twin Falls Temple (Say that three times fast)

Well, two weeks ago we went to Twin Falls to walk through their new Temple. We had a great time. We then went to Shoshone Falls ("Niagara Falls of the west"). The falls were running pretty high, so the kids were impressed. We then drove home and Cora threw up, twice. That was the beginning of a crazy couple of weeks. So we got home and she threw up again. She was doing better when I put her to bed, but then it was Spencer's turn. He threw up 7 times and had the back door trots ALL NIGHT LONG. It took all of Wednesday to recover from that night. Then Thursday I got us ready to go camping on Friday (that will come in a later post). We came home Sunday, I started reading Breaking Dawn and it took all of my free time til Tuesday. Wednesday Kate came over for a play date. After she left, Carter and I started to feel like crap resulting in throwing up. We then felt like crap for another couple of days and so here I am! Finally posting!

Here we are! Myself, Cora, my mom (Sandie), Carter, My mother-in-law (Carol), and Spencer My cute kids.

Here we are at Shoshone Falls with my mom.
Here we are with Carol.
