Cute Kids, Gym Review, and a Crazy Mom

I have the cutest kids. Really. I am also ready to debate that fact with any other parent out there. Just so you know, I will win. Anyway, this week has been interesting. Mike blew his ear drum last week and has been in SO much pain. We have been trying to figure out how to help him. He's on many meds and hoping it will heal. He can't hear out the ear right now and that is horrible considering he's a music teacher. He has to have his hearing. So we just wait for a few weeks until it heals. He also had a band trip this week. They went to SLC and had a clinic with Scott Hagen at the U of U (he was my Olympic Band Director). They had a great time. That night a kid jumped into the 5 foot end of the pool and split his head open. The kids didn't tell Mike until late that night- after they had super glued the kids skin together. Oh high school. Anyway, they went to another school yesterday and did an exchange concert and then came home.

I'm glad he's back because while he was away I lost my mind. I locked Brayden in the running car on Wed. I had to call the police to get him out. I was covered in food and boogers the whole time he was gone, but I was able to keep the house in semi-good shape.

SO, below are just some pictures of the cute-ness that lives at our house. Anna had her Gym Review yesterday and did such a good job. At this moment, she's in her pj's eating breakfast and wearing her medal. She's so excited she got it! Anyway, on with the cute-ness....

We have a picture of Tyson doing the same exact thing wearing just about the same thing. Bray is now at the dishwasher obsession point in his development. SO DANG CUTE (unless we are trying to do dishes quickly).
Sophie was fixed and declawed last week. We had to change her litter to a non-clumping kind, and she wouldn't have it. She peed and pooed on the carpet. We locked her int he laundry room and same thing on the tile (but at least it was tile). So, I got a different non-clumping litter. Nothing. She is apparently picky about her toilet. So, we switched back to the old stuff and I don't care at this point what the dr. says. Sophie and I were not liking each other for awhile, but we've made amends and are friends again. Oh, and do you notice the darling 6 yr old int he picture? He has now lost his two front teeth and goes by the name of "Toothless Tyson".

GYM REVIEW! They wait patiently for instructions......

Yeah, trampoline time! She LOVES this one.

Balancing with one leg up. Very hard. You can see the concentration.

The rest was on video, but this was her getting her award. She wore this gym outfit all day with the medal. It is just so special she can't take it off. I love this kid. What a sweet and wonderful daughter I have. I am very proud.
