New Teeth!

Cruz has had a pretty rough week healing from his crash and waiting for his teeth to be fixed. Mara was such a sweetie and made him this...


I will interpret since it might be hard to figure out what some of the words are. :) 
It reads, "I hope you feel better soon. I hope you get back in shape. I love you so much.
I am so sorry that happened. I really hope that you get better by tomorrow.
I hope that you don't get hurt again. You are so so so so so nice to me. 
I love you so so so so so so so so so so so much. I am so so so so so sorry Cruz."

How adorable is that I ask you? Pretty stinkin' adorable! She loves her brother!


so, Cruz finally got to go in to get his teeth fixed today. He was such a trooper! It took quite a while and he held my hand the entire time. I have to admit, I rather enjoyed that part. :) 

So, without further ado, here they are...




Don't they look great?! The dentist did a wonderful job! 

When Koen saw them he said "Cruzy's teeth are fixed! You need to get me some 
teeth like Cruzy's!" Ha ha! After that he seemed pretty put out that Cruz's teeth 
are fixed and his aren't. I'm sure he can't understand why his are still gone 
if the dentist can fix teeth. Poor kid!

Ouch!!!

Today was a bad day. 

A really bad day. 

It started of like any other day. Get the kids up, get ready for school, out the door, and off they go on their bikes and scooters with their friends. Koen and I cuddle up on the couch to read a few books. Maybe 10 minutes pass and then there is a knock. I go to the door and what do I see?


Yep! (Only imagine more blood.) 

Check out those teeth (only imagine them covered in blood).

Face plant off his scooter onto a driveway. I'll let you in on something... teeth and concrete don't mix.

So we had an emergency trip to the dentist. It will be 5 days before he can fix them to give his gums time to heal. He is not a happy camper. Poor, Cruz!

Oh, Christmas Tree...

Today we did something we have never done before, we went to a Christmas tree farm to get our tree this year. We got to walk through hundreds of trees, pick the one we all wanted (no easy task!), and they chopped it down for us. It was so fun! 



TIIIMMMMBBBBEEERRRR!!!!!


Loaded up and ready to go!

Reflections

This year Kenyon and Mara entered the Reflections contest. Kenyon entered for music and Mara entered for dance.

Kenyon had to compose his own song. He has been playing just under a year, so that was quite a challenge for him, but he did it.



He did a great job and received an Honorable Mention!  I am so proud of him!


Mara had to choreograph a dance. She had some practice from last year when she entered in dance (and won). This year she won again!




At the awards ceremony there was a technical problem and they couldn't get the video of her performance to play. She was pretty disappointed, but I think the trophy helped lift her spirits.




They both did such a great job!
