Sleeping Boys

Lance usually puts the boys to bed everynight. They actually prefer him over me. : ) After a page of Waldo searching and an hour or more later, I have to go in and wake up Lance to come to his own bed. This is how I find my sleeping boys!

It doesnt look at all comfortable, but I guess thats why when they climb in bed with us, they are on Lance's side smashed up against him. That's why they prefer him, I can't handle the smashing, sprawling, kicking etc : ) He takes it all! What a wonderful daddy!!!

Happy Birthday Parker Jay!

This past weekend we celebrated Parker's 3rd birthday! He's not a big fan of attention, so we had two small family parties.

He loved all his presents! Thank you everyone!

We went to see Madagascar 2 since he loved the 1st one so much!

He sat through almost all of it. Even Makenzie lasted till the very end. She even laughed a couple of times. Not sure at what though. Probably just cause her brothers were laughing.

Playing with one of the favorite toys! And I just really like this picture of Kenzie! : )

Its so fun to have Cousins!! Brenika wasn't sure about this person trying to "be soft" on her head

Is this really for me?

Happy Birthday Parks! We Love YOU!!!

Gingerbread houses and Lost teeth!

For family night we decorated a gingerbread house. I love the pre made ones that has EVERYTHING in it ready to go. It was great!! I let the boys do it all by themselves. Not too bad of job I'd say!!!



Tai lost his first tooth. Last week after Primary he came home telling us his tooth was loose, and then yesterday he lost it in front of his whole class at school. Leave it to Tai to make it a big deal in front of everyone haha. The tooth fairy was very generous! He said he wants to write on his dollar; To Tai, Love the Tooth Fairy and he never wants to spend it cause its a very special dollar!! : )


My baby is losing his baby teeth- I don't think I like this one bit!!!

Nothing but Trouble!! : )

I was in the other room folding clothes and I heard my sweet little 8 month old laughing hysterically. I went in to find Parker dumping out 2 water bottles all over. She thought it was hilarious! I guess she's the perfect audience. She thinks her brothers are the greatest, funniest humans alive, so they will do anything to get the reaction. I think I'm in trouble. Pray for me!! : ) haha















Look at that face of adoration! And notice the room! That was before the water incident!















Yep I did it!!! What's it to you!















Every morning we are greeted with this cute face and crazy hair!!!
















Makes you wonder what she is plotting ehh? I love this girl and her personality that is just bursting out! : )

Parker refusing to Dress up! Are you surprised!??! : )

And our cute little Pebbles (minus the bottoms.) I have a picture of me when I was around her age and dressed up like Pebbles, so I had to do dress up our first daughter the same too! : )

Now if anyone wants any MORE candy, we arent going to eat it!! So let me know!! Seriously!

Family Pictures

Notice our new family pictures to the right - Thank You Laura for being as patient as possible with us. They turned out great.

Poooookkeeeee!

Parker walks around saying "Poo00okkkeeee" when he sees Halloween decorations. At least he's not freaked out by it all.

We carved pumpkins last night - and Tairen wanted to do a U-ear after we did a Y-ear, so this is how it turned out. He didn't much like grabbing the pumpkin seeds - and even turned his head away like he was going to gag if he looked at it. It's all Kristi can do not to kick her foot through that U every time she walks by it. She felt much better after we moved it to the other side of the porch so the U is now facing the wall. Happy Halloween!

The Dentist

I had to have another root canal about a month ago, which was no big deal. My previous two root canals I had no pain at all after, and this one was the same (but I should probably do something with my Lortab prescriptions instead of throwing them away). So Tuesday I went back to get the crown fitting - and I didn't have any worries because the last two fittings were no problems and my teeth have been great.

Hopped up on the gas, the dentist comes in to deaden my mouth and I have to stop him because he almost deadens the wrong side of my mouth. So the fitting goes fine, I go back to work, the numb wears off.....almost. My tongue is still tingly. One, two, five hours after work my tongue is still tingly. When I eat, I can only taste what I am eating on the edge of the right side of my tongue - maybe a centimeter of my tongue can taste. I figure I'll go to bed and see what tomorrow brings.

Yesterday, still tingly and no taste. Lunchtime, still tingly and no taste. So I call the dentist and have a chat with him. Because they don't know exactly where the nerve is, there is always a chance they can hit the nerve when they do an injection. I can live with that. When they do hit the nerve, the tongue will usually be numb and tingly for 2-3 months. As for tasting my food, that should come back fully in 6-8 months. He said he has had 3-4 patients with the same thing, and all of them recovered fully. I even did some web searching and about 1 in 700,000 have permanent damage.

My point in telling you this is not to freak you out so you don't want to go to the dentist any more. (Although, money may help me feel a little better about not being able to taste anything) Just brush, floss, and rinse with a fluoride rinse regularly. That way you can avoid cavities, minimize fillings, reduce the chances you'll ever need a root call, and shouldn't have to have a super-dose of local anesthesia that might rob you of 95% of the enjoyment of eating food.

Sorry if this leaves a wierd taste in your mouth. There's not one in mine. -Lance-
