HISTORY IN THE MAKING!

Bryce got his braces off today! Yes, that is #4, we have probably paid for atleast one vehicle for our orthodontist (thank you very much!). We are done with those monthly orthodontist appointments and I can't say that I will miss them!! They are nice people, but.....Anyways, Bryce was very happy to be finally getting them off! He has been thinking every month now for the past 6 months that he'd be getting them off!

He also was very sick today with strep throat, a very, very sore throat, fever and headache, but he was so determined to get them off that we went anyways. We figured they all wear masks and gloves anyways, so they'd be safe. Doesn't he look handsome?

Brooke

Brooke hasn't been to my house for quite awhile and she is so big! She's wearing her boots (boops) and has her hair in little pig tails! She calls me Nana and she can pretty much have anything she wants. Even candy for breakfast!

What happened to their teeth?

We paid a lot of money to the orthodontist so they could have nice looking teeth! This is what happens when you eat too much sugar and don't brush your teeth! So beware kids! Listen to your parents so you don't end up like these two poor unfortunate souls!

Breeann's 21st birthday

Brandon did a fun surprise party for Breeann's 21st birthday!

He invited several couples from their ward and his grandparents

and our family to our house. He took her out to dinner and when they

got here, she was very surprised to see so many people! He thought

that since "in the world" people celebrate their 21st birthday by drinking

and gambling, he would have a game night and sparkling cider. So, we

played Bunco (thus the dice in her hand) and the bottle of sparkling

cider. I should have been taking pictures during the party, but forgot

what my job was...

Frugal Challenge - February

I am so happy that the sun has been shining lately and the snow

is starting to melt! That means we are closer to Spring. I realize

that we will get snow again, in fact its supposed to snow the rest

of this week. The good thing is that when it does snow, it won't

stay around as long.

Our computer crashed last month so I kind of lost track of my

grocery spending. I keep track on Microsoft Money. When I

went back and added it all up a few days ago, I realized I went

over just a little. I ended up spending $318.58. I'm not as cool

as my best friend, Bliss. She always has money left over the last

week, so she goes out on a spending spree! My goal is to be more

like her!!
