The Fat Lip

We all set out for Jaxon's game on Friday. I always love watching his games. Well, I was feeling more like a circus trainer trying to keep the girls sitting down and under control. Bryce was playing with his friend above the gym. Next thing I know I hear his friend's mom calling my name. I look over to find poor Bryce crying and covered from nose to chest with blood. He just kept sobbing "mom, mom" . I could tell he was freaked out. Poor thing. Plus everyone around us started freaking out which didn't help the situation. One lady asked if I needed her to get the trainer. I tried to downplay the whole thing to get Bryce to calm down. And of course my mom was there and she helped calm him down. So I sat him down to get a closer look and I'm not gonna lie--it was pretty bad. One of his teeth went all the way through his lip, there were two large cuts on the top of his bottom lip, and he had four loose teeth. Luckily they are baby teeth. It was so sad to see, but as soon as I sat him down and told him it wasn't so bad, he calmed right down and he was so tough. I think he was just scared by all the blood. We took a picture with my Dad's camera phone to send to Trever.

When he made it home I cleaned his face up to take a picture. Yes, that is one of my favorite shirts I bought him from american eagle--ruined. Oh, well. It was funny because he didn't want to take off his shirt until Trever got home to see it. I think he wanted to show his dad how tough he was.



Here is a close up. You can't see the spot where his tooth went through, it is underneath. It is also all black and blue inside his whole lip. Poor kid. Traumatic!

Power Tap Addiction

I love, love, love my dance team this year. It is a mix of our dance team from last year and a couple of other studios. We are mostly moms and dancing is a way for us to get out of the house and do something that we enjoy. We have so much fun together! This is our first performance of the year at the Ogden ampitheatre. It was outside and FREEZING cold, but a great opportunity to try out our new dance. I am looking forward to this year and can't wait for nationals in May!!!

Thanksgiving and Kambree's no good very bad day

Thanksgiving has become complicated with divorced in laws. We used to have such a great system, but now it is kind of a mess. My father in law and Ann came for thanksgiving so off to Jamie's we went. Jamie is such a great cook and I had so much fun spending time in the kitchen with Jamie and Sherie. I haven't laughed that hard in so long. Anyway it was such a great feast. Well, we were nearly finished with dinner when I heard screaming from the wash room where my in-law's dog was staying. Apparently there was just too much commotion and too many kids and poor Kambree got in the way. My heart just dropped when Lance brought her out with her arm in his hand. I was basically freaking out inside. And the look on Kambree's face just broke my heart. She was so upset. I cleaned up her wounds. She had two large puncture wounds in her arm and several smaller ones on her hand. I just felt awful. Kambree just kept crying and saying "Pup, Pup" and pointing towards the dog. It was so sad!!! I don't think there is anything worse than seeing your kids hurt. Needless to say, the afternoon was pretty rough. So, that was thanksgiving for us.
