Grant's 1st Tooth

Sunday night Grant was teaching Lydia how to spin the big stick! It was so funny!! She was trying so hard! Josh got it on video!!




Then Josh and I started talking about calling the dentist because Grant's front tooth had to come out! We worried the permanent was being pushed back! The front tooth was loose then the permanent made it tight again! Grant wanted dad to try to get it out! With some floss and his nail Josh had it almost out! Grant twisted and it was out!!! YEAH!!! Tooth $1, First tooth $1, Sunday $1

Ramp

Josh built a ramp for his Grandpa Stanton today! It amazes me how willing he is to do anything for anyone!! He freely gives of himself, his time, his talents and his knowledge to anyone in need!! I am grateful for this ramp building man!!

More Updates

We got a basketball hoop for the backyard on Monday,January 30!! The boys were thrilled!!
***
Lydia kept sitting on the stool when I was taking the stool shoes picture, so I wanted to post it!!

Grandpa Stanton fell a couple weeks ago and injured his leg!! He was laying in the backyard for 15 - 20 minutes! The mail-man heard him! Because of the severity of the damage done, the doctors and family decided the best option for him would be to amputate his leg above the knee. He has had such a positive outlook about the whole thing and has been an amazing example to all of us! We went to visit him and got these HORRIBLE pictures! They were so bad I had to post them!! When Grant had Lydia on his back he walked up close by Grandpa and she kind of tilted away, Grant said, "Grandpa sorry she doesn't really know you, she was just born a bit ago!" I was trying so hard not to laugh until the parking lot!! When we first got in the room, Trent looked at Blake, who was standing on a chair, and whispered, "Blake are you scared or are you ok?" Blake got the cutest look of indecision on his face and said, "um um um um I'm ok Trent!"





Grant accidentally nailed Blake in the eye with the metal bat, while trying to hit the tee! I was gone and Josh said it was HUGE!!! After an hour and 45 minutes of ice I came home! It was still HUGE!!! It had been double what I saw! This is a photo Jared Burr got for me later that night at basketball!! I wish we had a photo of the original!!! (It is now purple and yellow!)



Grant's silhouette from school!! Love it!

Valentine's Day

I did not do a good job with pictures!! We had doughnuts, pears and got Happy Nappers!! Then everyone except Blake headed to Freedom! Dad took Blake to school! I Substituted for Mr. C at 8am! (I do that sometimes for a few hours!) Canceled Becca KOTM, I wasn't home yet and Lydia is walking! Ran home to change Miss Lyd (who was in her jammies) and ran back for Trent's class party at 10am - - I did airplanes from Oriental Trading! Grandma Gayle went to Grant's class party to help and Grant was thrilled!!! Grandma trumps me with ease!

In Grant's classroom, we were done with Trent!



Headed home to put Lyd down for a minute! Cleaned up! Checked Trent out early! We all headed to Grandma Laura's house to wish her Happy Birthday and Happy Valentine's Day! She was leaving to go to dinner with the Lindfields, Dawn was picking her up! So we hurried and made it!! The boys wanted me to drive really fast!!! Headed to my folks for a RED dinner!! Surprise Dad got to meet us there!! Meatballs, spaghetti, treats, delicious!!! Dad headed for a city meeting and we did some activities!!
