The ToOtHLeSs WONDER !

So Kenzie has finally lost some of her baby teeth but um, not exactly how it usually happens.
We were on our way to the Dentist to get her silver crown that fell off from a previous root canal put back in and her Dentist noticed one of her permanent teeth about to come in. It was behind the other teeth and crooked so he wanted to take an X-Ray. Sure enough just as he suspected all the 4 front bottom teeth were crowded. He said it would be better to take the bottom 4 incisors out before the others start pushing through. That way they are less likely to be so crowded and crooked. So we already know Miss Kenzie is going to need braces in the future since she hardly has any room for her baby teeth let alone when her permanent teeth come in. So Kenzie took some medicine in a cup to drink down that pretty much sedates her. It makes her all floppy and loopy. She said after she felt like she was speaking a different language, as she slurred her words (partially drunk n partially cause her bottom 4 front teeth were missing). So she now has a little bit of a lisp from her teeth missing, the new tooth has come up through the gums now too. She was deciding for a day and half if she wanted to put all 4 teeth under her pillow for the tooth fairy or just one at a time on different nights. WOW what a big decision! She ended up choosing to put each tooth individually under her pillow on different nights. We went to Barnes and Noble to get Kenzie her free book she won by reading enough books and keeping track of them and her favorite part of each book on a log sheet (She got a 5th-6th grader book when shes just starting 2nd grade this Monday!) , so we found in the books on sale or clearance this Tooth Fairy Book and pillow with pocket to put teeth in. It tells all about the process of loosing baby teeth and getting new permanent ones and about the tooth fairy! There are envelopes and sheets of paper to keep track of when each tooth fell/came out also! We both thought that was pretty neat!
Even though the after affects of Kenzies recovery after getting her 4 front bottom teeth yanked (one broke and he had to go pushing/fishing around for the broken off root in her gums- OUCHY) , weren't to much fun, since she was upset she couldnt act or feel normal or control her body movements or speach to well, let alone her vision was blurry and she was seeing two of Hannah Montana on the movie we were watching (She was not ok with NOT feeling Normal!) when it was done and over and Kenzie felt normal and like Kenzie again she couldn't WAIT to show all her friends here around our apartments and other friends and family! I decided it was time to finally post a blog and pictures of it finally! So now I finally have Hooray! (I've been slacking on the blogging, I'm tryin to catch up , honest.)

Kenzie and SOCCER (& Sports)

Hooray for Kenzie! She was able to be in AYSO soccer last year and this year! When they sign up they are on the same team for Fall and then Spring ! Kenzie was in soccer before but through Weber States La Roca Juniors futball! They were taught by the Weber State soccer team players! She had fun with that too. Kenzie is also signed up again for AYSO for the next two seasons. In fact her new coach just called to get in touch with us for the first time the other day about starting the new season soon! Here are some pictures.... of Kenzie in La Roca Juniors and her AYSO soccer picture and her TROPHY she received as well! Yippie !

(Shes been in T-Ball and she seems to be more girly and wanting to dance around so she is now in a Dance class also. Here soon I'll have to get a picture of her and some of her at their recital at the end of the summer!)

Swimmin' FUN!

SO HOORAY ITS SUMMER! We live in apartments with a pool for the first time so guess where we spend most our extra time?... especially Saturdays! Yup the POOL!
I took a few pics of Kenzie and our lil friend Bailey. (She is 8 months younger than Kenzie and yet is almost a head taller!) Splishin n Splashin Water Babies We ARE!!
Kenzie and I have new swimmin suits this year that are more modest but Bailey forgot her swimmin suit so she wore Kenzies new swimmin suit and Kenzie wore her one from last year.















Ashley came over to join us! I dont have a pic of me though, dang it ! :P (Yet)

















Bailey came to play in the Hot tub with me! Oh how I do like the hot tub!



Kenzie was off swimmin in the deep end since she learned to swim on her own in the deep last year! I never even put her in swimming lessons! Although I still may so she can learn all the ways to swim. This year she's already learned to swim to the bottom of the pool to get throw in swimming toys that sink to the bottom! Hooray!

We just Loovvee to swim! Yes We Do!

Work BBQ! (My Office Space continued)

Alright, so its been two months since I've made a blog! Yikes! So here is another one finally ! WOOPY!

So I didnt win a prize for the raffle drawing but the nice guy that won the big frisbie gave it to us. HOW NICE HUH?! I Don't have a picture of it yet. I may add it later! :)

My Office Space!

So tomorrow for work we're having a Salt Lake City Office BarbiQue! We are having a lil contest on our 'At Home' Desks or what I like to call our home 'Office Space'! He He. So they asked us to take pictures of our desks/office at home and send them in via email to get a prize! So I've decided since I've got the picture now I might as well put it up here for all to see where I work (at home)!!!
Fun Fun! I don't know if I'll win anything other than a participation prize or some junk but that's ok and I'll let ya know what happens! I'll have to take my camera to the party (hawaiian BBQ even) and post some pics up too!


The date on the picture is SOOo WRONG Ha ha, it was taken like two days ago so like Tues May 15th, 2008! Also, again if anyone is interested in working from home that resides here in Utah (anywhere as long its you're in Utah, for now) ..... I work for a company called O'Currance. They have 2 offices one is in Draper and the other is in Salt Lake City here in Utah. You'd train and work at least a few weeks in one of the offices/call centers before you can work from home and you need a computer, internet and phone line for work use! I love it! (No hard physical labor either)

Cloe, our PuddyTat

HOWDY!! Guess what ?! Just as I was about to think we'd NEVER come up with enough $$ for the deposit to have our pet kitty Cloe come live with us (Save it and something would come up we'd need to use it for) I got my $600 IRS check in the mail I had entirely forgotten about! WOOHOO!
So Hooray Kenzie and I went to Petco and bought new cat food and a collar/harness and leash. Cloe was NOT impressed AT ALL with the leash and harness but i want to take her outside in the area to get her use to it around our apartments sometime without losing her if she tries to run away. So we put it on to take her from the house to the apartment. She Yowled the whole drive over, scared to death of what was going on! Poor lil Cloe is Kenzies kitty and is 2 and a half years old now and has only been in a car once, when we moved to Layton from Ogden and she was weirded out then too! As soon as we got her home and took the harness/collar off she somewhat walked around and then went under the furniture. We had forgotten to buy a new cat litter box and new cat litter so we left Cloe home to explore and get to know the place on her own. She surely did too. She was happy and wandering around when we got there and all night as I worked at the computer she was SOOOOO CUDDLY!! I'll tell you what to, this cat (especially after moving to my dads with another cat , my cat Lady that lives with my dad as well as 3 other people and then 1 more when my other sister moved in too with her dog) is not typically a cuddly, lovely cat!!! Not really AT ALL!!!
Although after a while Lady and Cloe made a truce you could say and became tolerant of eachother. So then Lady showed Cloe the ropes about the outside of the house, climbing up the tree to the roof, onto the other end of the other roof, how to attach her claws to the screen on Ashleys window and scare the day lights out of her at night, just to be let in , to be let OUT to do it all over again!!! Not to mention climbing up the doors and tapping on the window to be let in among other strange things Lady taught her. Ha Ha I'm sure Cloe will miss the yard at my dads and all but so far she seems VERY excited about her new place here! WE ARE VERY EXCITED TO FINALLY HAVE HER COME HOME WITH US TOO!! (We have a friend whose doggies just had puppies, Hhhmmmm)

Us {2} Lately

HEY Alrighty so Ive decided I should finally write a blog about something! So Ill just tell ya 'bout whats been happening lately! Kenzie and I just moved into a new apartment with cute ducks quackin around that we love to watch and we are Ssooooo excited for when the pool will open! We've never lived in an apt. with a pool and we absolutely LOVE to swim so this is EXCITING IN DEED! Come on over to relax in the hot tub if you are ever around everyone! I'm working for a company called O'Currance and I am a Sales Agent that just started to be able to work from home, so now that makes me an At Home Sales Agent! WEEHOO! I tell you it is nice to not have to drive from Layton to West Valley and back everyday especially with gas prices these days! Also now I can be home with Kenzie 24/7!! Since quitting Life Insurance to be around more for Kenzie I'm excited to finally have found a job I like that doesn't kill me over physically. (Bad back thanks to car wrecks and a fall at work last year) I take inbound phone calls for radio ads and infomercials so ya know and in case anyone is interested that resides anywhere in Utah that wants to work from home (or in call center lol) apply online at istayhome.com! Kenzie is finishing her school year in 1st grade and will be going to a new school just kiddie corner across the street for second grade. We are both used to her going to schools that follow traditional school schedule and this new school she'll be attending will be Year Round. So it'll definately be a change but we'll be alright. Besides this year Kenzie will get to go to school with her cousins (her 'dads' side) Alora and Brennon! Sadly it might be to late to get her on the same track as her cousins and would have been nice to put her in the classroom with the same teacher as her cousin Brennon but we're hoping anyway. (Brennon and Kenzie are only a month apart) If not , hey at least they will be at the same school together! OH and Kenzie will also be turning 8 years old at the end of this Year! That means she'll be getting Baptised in LDS Church (mormon) after! I am helping her learn all about it! We are excited to get to know a new ward and stake in our area since we've moved as well! Kenzie has also started soccer practice and games for the Spring Season! We plan on getting her into a dance class around here after soccer is over or sign her up in Layton citys gymnastics. I'm planning on taking another Institute class at Weber State either in Ogden or maybe at the Davis Campus this Summer. I'm still figuring out the times and what would be best since Kenzie will be out of school, so I'll have to figure out a sitter or something. Alrighty well that pretty much sums everything up for whats going on with us for now. Although dont you worry! I do like to write so there definately will be more to come! :)
PS. The pic of Kenzie on the right is when Kenzie spent the night at her Aunt Angies and Nathans (to go to Discovery Gateway for a Bday party the next day) and she got to take a bath in their Jacuzzi BathTub! Apparently she absolutely loved it and spun around squilling everytime they'd turn on the jets/bubbles! Cute!

We did it!

Yahooooo! We finally have a blog - more to come soon!

Cher says "ta da!"

Kenzie is sooo excited about the new blog!

We hope you are too!
