Kylee's Teeth and Jack's Shiner

.
My poor daughter has a WHOLE in her mouth! This little girl has had teeth problems since she was almost 2. She fell off our chair, hit her teeth on the granite counter top, and that was that. Well, as you know she got her two top front teeth pulled right before she turned 5. Well, about a month and a half ago she somehow bonked her face again, and her two bottom teeth got the brunt of it. She ran up to me and said..."mom, my two bottom teeth are wiggly" So I told her to just leave them alone, but did she? NO! Well, two days ago, we were having lunch at Tucano's (thanks to my Dad and Mom for the card) and she bit into some cheese bread and said "UH-O, my tooth" so I looked at it, and it was pretty much pointing towards me. So we wiggled it and it came out. She lost a tooth at Tucano's that will be a memory. Well, then yesterday night she bit into some pizza and there came the other tooth. So, now she has no top or bottom front teeth. Luckily she is still too cute! I love her




So here is the story of how Jack got a black eye. Well, it was more like a swolen eye for about an hour and a half, and then red, and then it went a little black. We were in Cokeville, and he was playing with cousins and one of his cousins "threw" a doll at him. He was trying to throw it over Jack's head and didn't quite make it. It was quite scary, I saw Jack with a bleeding eye that looked like it was super puffy, and I though, "is his sight going to be gone?" But he is all good. It didn't last for too long luckily. I wish I would have gotten a pic of right after it happened. It was totally swollen and puffed up, it was cool! You are a tough guy Jack! Love ya!

Cafe Fresh

So, here is the sitch, I WAS SO MAD yesterday. I am feeling a lot better today, my attitude has changed, but let me tell you the story. My and my bestest friends from High School (Janel, Shannon, and Angie) decided to get together for lunch yesterday because they were all in town. Well, they chose Cafe Fresh (on State Street in Orem, that used to be called fresh food junkies cafe) anyway, they go in to get a table......there was basically NO ONE else in the restaraunt, and they started putting two tables together so we could sit together. One of the girls that worked there came over rudely and said "You are ruining the organization of the restaurant, if you need to move a table you need to ask!" WOW, how rude right, so everyone was like "okay, sorry" so they were seriously giving us mean looks the whole time, and telling our kids to not touch things. So I finally said "is it okay if we open this door and let our kids outside in the little eating area outside, or is that going to ruin 'the organization' of the restaurant?" They said it was fine. So the kids go outside to play, and while they are playing they are coming to the door and putting their finger prints all over it. I didn't even think anything of it. So when we were about to leave, one of the worker girls went over and started cleaning off the windows with windex, and she was totally disgusted that our children left finger prints all over. So I didn't realize as she was cleaning the outside of the door, Jack went and put his finger prints on the inside where she had just cleaned, so I was trying to get him not to, and the girl comes in and looks at the door and says "OH MY GOSH!" Like how could you let your kid do that.....so that is when I BROKE. I said "are you kidding me" I was soooooo mad that she would act like that...if you are going to be bugged at me, freaking wait until I am gone to let it be known....there is NO one else in your restaurant, the economy is way bad so you should be kissing my rear end that I am in your cafe. But no, she was a TOTALY BRAT! So she wouldn't look at me, so finally I said "is there a comment card or a manager that I can talk to, I am TOTALLY disgusted about the way that we were treated today" so the snooty girl says "I am a manager" so I was like "then you should know better. Anyway, after I yelled at her for a minute, (which I probably shouldn't have yelled, but I was pretty darn mad) she was so rude, I finally said, "who is your boss?" and she said "what like you are going to call him?" and I said YOU BET I AM! And I did. He was very nice, so I feel bad for saying this, but DO NOT GO TO CAFE FRESH! The girl told me it was not a "kid friendly restaurant" and that it wasn't "chucky cheese's" Oh she was rude. So, that is my day in a nutshell. It was fun being with my friends, but believe me we will NEVER be going back there!!!! Thanks for letting me vent!

I am feeling so blessed!

I have been really having a rough summer, no money, too many fun things to do (remember no money) It seems like things just keeping piling on. My washing machine broke down ($250.00 later) I got pulled over and got a ticket (more money that we don't have down the drain). I think I have really been feeling sorry for myself, thinking (questioning) why Heavenly Father is letting all this happen. I know that is really stupid of me, I hate when people question, and I was one of those people. Then reading the book lone survivor, and other things like the 4th of July have put my back in my place. I am so grateful to live in this country. To have men and women EVERYDAY fighting for MY freedom, and comfort! Then I go and read my cousin Tessa's blog and I am even more humbled. Tessa is in Africa, and she is working with children there. If you read a few of her post, you can get an idea of what she does everyday. I think I am addicted to her blog now. She see's so much, is learning so much, and is teaching me so much! I am soooo blessed. I think everyone needs to read her blog. My kids are so blessed, I am so blessed, even in my worst moments I am SO EXTREMELY BLESSED. I ate so much I was sick this weekend, I have a HUGE bed to sleep in, I have a home, my kids love me, and I love them, I have a wonderful husband, we are pretty much healthy ALL the time, we have good medical help, and it is close. I could go on and on with blessings, but I won't. GO READ MY COUSINS BLOG!!!!
