Teeth and Cats

 We've had a bit of an adventurous week.  Monday night we had our ice cream party - I got some ice cream and toppings and we had a fun family night at home making and eating ice cream sundaes.  

James had been having tooth pain since Saturday and after trying to get ahold of the dentist for 3 days, I finally went to the office to see if they could do anything - they couldn't they were booked solid, but they knew a place that could see him soon, so I called them and they got us in on Tuesday afternoon.  Turns out he had a big ol' cavity and so they did a pulpotomy and and cleaned it out, but they still had some concerns, so they said if he tooth was still hurting in a couple days to let them know.  He was so funny - he was a great patient, but he was also very chatty - when I snapped this picture of him (which he didn't want me to take) he was still trying to talk to the dentist!  

Wednesday the youth activities were fun!  Aaron got to play kick ball, and Eileen and Evelyn were both doing baking activities!  It's was a bit crazy trying to coordinate that, but they both seemed to have a good time and it seemed to go well overall.  

Anna was finally able to start cross country, we finally got ahold of someone who could give us information and she has been able to run again - plus so far, her knee is doing fine, so the stretches and exercises that the doctor gave her have helped a lot.  

Thursday James' tooth was still hurting so the dentist gave him a prescription for an antibiotic which will hopefully get him through until he can see a regular dentist.  

David is so funny - Anna let him draw on her tablet - he would color the whole thing one solid color - then he wanted it sent to me - then he would color the whole thing in another solid block of color and send it again - he did this at least 10 time - and I got a TON of text messages like the ones below! 

Anna even tried to get him to do more than one color - but this was all he wanted to do!  By the end he had figured out how to change colors himself and even had a pretty good idea of how to send it to me.  

David has been loving the slightly warmer weather we have gotten - he loves to ride his big wheel tricycle - he says multiple times a day "come on mommy lets go outside and I can ride my bike!"  And then he rides up and down the block and has a blast!  

Saturday afternoon, we did a girls date with Sandi and Kai and me and my girls.  We went and walked around the mall and window shopped and chatted and had a fun time together.  We had dinner at the food court and enjoyed a fun evening together.  

We got home just in time for John and Melissa to stop by with their kids for some games and fun.  They got there just in time to do scriptures and Come Follow Me with us, so we all parked in the living room and read together.  David just loves his cousins!  Then we had a blast playing games and hanging out!  

A friend of mine had to leave town for a funeral and needed someone to go over and feed their cat, so Eileen had a great time going over in the evenings and feeding the cat and taking care of him and then petting him for a bit - he's a very sweet kitty who loved all the petting and attention!  

Church today was wonderful!  We got to go in person and we got to be there for a fast and testimony meeting.  Plus I'm excited because I've been asked to do a musical number - so we get to go next week too and I get to sing!  I'm so excited!  James and David both had their primary meetings and David just loves his teachers!  They don't live too far away from us and walk near here all the time, so one day when David was out riding his tricycle, they were walking by and David recognized them and was so happy to see them!
