It's Been A While

Wow, we haven't posted in a while so I better catch everyone up. This past week has been busy. All four kids had dentist appointments, and all of them were cavity free. YES!! Even little Ava went this morning. She wasn't too happy about it but they just took a quick peek and then put some vitamins on them. She cried until the dentist offered her a balloon and a bracelet and then she was happy. It is such a nice dental office. Big difference from the one in Reno where it was a semi converted into an office. The kids keep saying that they can't wait to go back in 6 months.

Jerrod won his primary election for his class at school for student body vice president. Now he has to campaign to the whole school. We made handouts with dum dum suckers that said "Don't be a dum dum. Vote for Jerrod" That seemed to go over well in his class so I think we'll spend tomorrow evening making lots more so that he can pass them out to as many kids as he can. Jerrod has also been busy working on yet another pinewood derby car. The race is on Saturday and since he already had the pinewood derby in Arizona we are hoping to learn from our mistakes and do good. Although, when I heard there were tickets available for a Gladys Knight fireside in North Las Vegas that same night, thoughts of sabotage came to my mind.

Derek is finally done with all of his long weekends for now. Darn it, he has to go to school all five days this week. We are missing him. He joined an intramural basketball team at school so he has been having fun doing that. He also got his stethoscope this week which is pretty cool.

Allison got an award for citizenship from her teacher which earned her a lunch with the principal. He bbq'd burgers and hot dogs for the kids in the courtyard. She was very excited about it. She can be so nice when she wants to be!!

There are no new pictures to share so I'll have to take some this weekend. Hope everyone is doing well!
