Fall/Winter Sports

For those of you who don't know, we have been living inMesa since June. David has started school and already has a new best friend to have fun with! Gordon and I decided that it would be worth the drive to take Matthew and Hailey to preschool with their Aunt Cynthia! So 2 days a week I make the commute to have my kids have the BEST preschool teacher ever! They absolutely love it! We have been trying to get the hang of things and how they are run in Mesa. I found out about Soccer registration a couple of days before it ended. Luckily Matthew is old enough to play this year! So we signed them up and had their first games this Sat!


































I actually did not get to see Matthew's first game because we signed Hailey up for a ballet class! Doesn't she look so darn stinkin' cute?!

















Then they wanted to take their pics together!

Loose Tooth

Last week David had a tooth that had progressively gotten looser and looser. His bigger teeth have actually started to come in and started pushing on the little tooth. It pushed it into a very odd position and upon investigation, I decided that it needed to come out. I have no idea why this part of teeth brought so much joy to my mother and Granny! I hated having to pull out his tooth! I tried with a tissue and that didn't work. Finally I resorted to dental floss. I still didn't want to do it! I even told David it would hurt for a little bit but then it would feel better. I told him he could yell or scream as loud as he wanted if it hurt when pulled. I wiggled the dental floss under his tooth and braced myself. I STILL didn't want to pull! I told David to count to 3. When he got to 3 I forced myself to pull and immediately put the tissue on the blood! I felt like someone kicked me in the stomach! He cried pretty loud but no screaming or yelling! I told him not to look in the mirror and go rinse with milk. (It helps stop the bleeding you know.) After doing this a couple of times and then asking me if it was still bleeding I told him he could look. I thought he would still be upset and start crying again, but no! Being a boy he said, "I look like a Pirate!" I was relieved to know he was okay with the result! I am definitely waiting for the other tooth to fall out on it's own though!
