Lost tooth X 2

Cagney lost her first two teeth last week! Never had a kid lose a tooth when they were four.
Except Jared who knocked his first tooth out at age 2.
He was trying to be Buzz Lightyear.

Thankful Thursday

1. My boys are off track and it has been so much fun having them home. I'm especially grateful that I can sleep in a little bit, very nice right now because I am taking a 6:30 AM math class on tuesday and thursday this semester. It is killing me...I do not function very well when I don't get enough sleep. Just ask the people I live with.

2. My extended family. My nephew got home from his mission recently and we went to his homecoming on sunday. He is adorable and did so great on his talk. I love being around my extended family and would love to be with them every weekend! I really think I should have been greek or something, I want to be in a family where everyone talks to each other all the time and are totally in each other business all the time! HA! I say that now but if I really had it maybe I wouldn't like it so much!

3. Running. One year later Trevor and I are still running three or four times a week! That is our most regular "date". We are registered to run our first half marathon in April. I wasn't going to tell anyone I was doing that because then if we didn't finish no one would know about it!! But now it is out there and I will have to tell you all if I fail miserably.

4. Birthday get-away. Tomorrow is my birthday and Trevor's parents are taking the kids overnight so we can have a little get-away. I'm beyond excited about it. I can't remember the last time we went away with just the two of us. I have to work tomorrow too and I don't even mind it that much because I work with some great friends.

5. Cole's surgeon. She is fantastic, we love her. She took his cast off last week and pulled the pins out and he is doing great. He still uses his arm with it in the same position it was in the cast, but she said that was normal. We go back again in a couple of weeks to check his range of motion and see if he will need some physical therapy. When we were getting ready to send Cole into surgery I was very nervous about handing him over to her. I was dreading the thought of hearing him screaming as they took him from us. He was sedated while I held him and then his surgeon just reached down and took him from me and carried him into the OR like he was her own. It was so sweet and something I will always remember.



6. The olympics. I LOVE the winter olympics, we are having so much fun watching! It's been especially fun to have the kids old enough to be interested in watching with us. Jared and Gabe have decided they want to try snowboarding...and downhill skiing...and the luge...
