Yes, that is right, we got a visit from Tina. It all started when the phone rang last Friday night. I was upstairs and Dusty was downstairs eating a banana. Dusty answered the phone and headed running upstairs with the phone while still eating the banana. A few seconds after handing me the phone, he came running back in screaming with his mouth covered in blood. I instantly had him lay down, and upon inspection found that a tooth was just about to fall out. That tooth went from being barely loose, to barely hanging on. My only guess is that while eating and running up the stairs, he bit down funny and ground his bottom tooth with a top one and with the pressure from a permanent tooth next door that is crowding all the space, it popped this baby tooth loose, and caused quite a bit of bleeding. I knew with experience with the first loose tooth, that there was no chance of him letting me pull this thing out. He did get dizzy, which is why I had him lay down (now that we know how he is), and I gave him some juice and tried to get his little mind thinking of other things. The next morning the boys were eating yogurt for breakfast and Dusty came running up the stairs saying "Mom, it came out". Luckily he made it through the event without even getting dizzy. Anyway, that night we knew that our angel Tina would be coming for a visit! So this story is for all of you who don't know what Tina's important job is up in heaven - She is the toothfairy (right Sara?)!
Yea! We finally got Hayden back in school. I am so excited to have him going - I have really missed his school in Vernal. Life is so much happier here when Hayden has something that is just for him, and it has been a hard couple of months since we have moved. But I already see an improvement this week since he's been going. Next week he'll start riding the bus to school. He goes to a preschool class that it at an Elementary school where he gets speech therapy. The school district here holds the classes 4 days a week instead of just 2. My little Hayden is now gone more than Dusty! Too bad we had to learn off of Hayden, but now Kyrie will be much better off. When Hayden was 10 months old we noticed that he had a tied tongue ( I don't know why it took us that long to notice). I took him in to the Dr. to get it clipped and was told that the procedure wasn't necessary and that they don't really even do it anymore and I was sent home. So after speech problems, we finally got it done just before his 4th birthday. He didn't have good motion with his tongue, and learned to speak incorrectly and now needs speech therapy. So when Kyrie was born one of the first things I checked was her tongue, and sure enough she had a tied tongue! When the pediatrician came in I asked him about it and I didn't want to leave the hospital until it was corrected. But again, this doctor thought it was unnecessary to do the procedure. So after we left the hospital, we took her to another pediatrician and he sent us right to a pediatric ENT. The ENT could see a definate deformity when she sucked and said it was the cause of her eating problem, he said that it was about 90% tied. He agreed to clip it right in his office, what a relief. So just 4 days old, Kyrie got her tongue clipped. And it was awful! She cried and cried and so did I. He didn't numb her up or anything! It was so hard to see her cry in pain! But I am so greatful that it is done, I just feel so bad that we didn't get Hayden's done sooner. The lesson I have learned, don't give up! Be persistent in what you want, and it is always worth getting a second opinion!
We couldn't be happier!
Mom finally got a girl!
Kyrie in her dress made by her Great-Grandma Palmer. We are going to use it as her blessing dress. Thank you Grandma, we absolutely adore this little dress!

Another family picture. This one is actually my favorite, the header picture is Chris's favorite. We tease Dusty about cheesin' it, it looks like he gets it from his dad!
I love this picture. Kyrie is so lucky to have these 2 big brothers!
