Two girls, two sets of braces, over two thousand a piece!! Add it up my good friends. Note: have children further apart.

I'm sure someday they will appreciate it.
For now, they are just hating us and thinking this was a huge waste of money!

Addie actually really wanted them until the first day she got
them, and she had so many blisters in her mouth she couldn't stop crying.
Hannah has only had them on for four days and thinks her teeth are
already straight enough....think again!

This is going to be a long two years. We have already been to the ortho so many
times that Easton calls the doctor by his first name and cries when we
have to leave because he loves playing the X-Box and looting the toothbrush station!!!

Hannah calls me daily to bring her ibuprofen to school or check her out because
she can't concentrate due to the severe pain that is much worse than
anyone else in the world has EVER HAD WHEN HAVING BRACES!! ha ha

And Addie loses a bracket weekly due to kicks in the face during cheerleading
practice. I swear....this is just sooooo much work. Wouldn't it be easier to have ugly teeth?

THE WILLIAMS FAMILY said...: WOULD YOU LIKE ROSSI TO BRING HOME SOME "HORRIFYING" PICTURES FROM WORK FOR THE GIRLS TO SEE? THAT WOULD SHOW THEM THAT GOING THROUGH "VERY MILD" TORTURE TO HAVE A BEAUTIFUL SMILE... IS DEFINITELY WORTH IT!!!

FISCHER GETS HIS OFF IN THREE WEEKS... AND KREW WILL THEN BEGIN HIS "METAL MOUTH" JOURNEY SOMETIME AFTER CHRISTMAS, AND WITH HIS OVER ANIMATION... PURE JOY I'M SURE!!!

From the mouths of "our babes":

*Our doorbell rang. Chance ran to get it. No one was there. He said, "oh darn,it must have been a knocker-ditcher." (Otherwise known as a doorbell ditcher.)

*Chance climbed in the back of the car this afternoon, and said "ewww mom, the back of your car smells gross...it smells like fries and poo all mixed together."

There was a little boy acting very naughty in Chances primary class...he turned and told the boy that he was an "ANGRY ELF." The teacher told me that it made her whole day and she nearly peed her pants laughing. (We were visiting at a different ward, which makes it even funnier because he didn't even know the boy.)

*Chance's kindergarten teacher's name is Mrs. Rasband, he came home and told Brandon that her name is Mrs. Wristband! Close enough

*As we were driving through the farmlands, Addie blurts out from the backseat, "it's cool how HAY grows, it just randomly pops up in perfect little blocks!" (She was DEAD serious)

*We came home from camping and Addie turns to me and says, "Mom, it feels so good to be home and walk on the grass and have a cup of milk!"

*We ate at a "Thai" restaurant tonight. Addie was so sick of peanuts on all of the food. She finally looked at me and said, "what the heck, do they have a peanut tree in that kitchen or what?"

*Chance asked me, "Mom, why Jesus make me so fast?" (Basically asking why he is such a fast runner)

*Chance was looking through the neighbors fence at their dog and he came running back across the street and said " oh sick, that dog just bless you'd all over my face!" Apparently, that means the dog sneezed on him!

*Chance calls "Walkie Talkies"... "Hickey Tickies"

*Hannah told me that we are going to give her "arthritis" because we are making her camp in a tent this year. (We sold our big fifth wheel last year.) Poor kids!

*We went thru the drive-up at Wendy's and they were out of Frosty's. As we pulled away, Chance murmurs to himself: "damn, damn, damn!" (I will take full responsibility for that one!) Needless to say, we had a little chat!

*Chance says that "chocolate milk" is his favorite taste!

*Chance was picking the seat of his pants today, and I said "what's wrong son, do you have a snuggy?" And he said, "no mom, I don't have a snuggly, my bums are just stuck together.

*Tonight at dinner, Addie told us that her favorite solid food is BUTTER and her favorite liquid food is SPRAY BUTTER!

*Chance told me today that his brain was making him scared to go to school. (He just kept holding his head in his hands)

*We had a "chick" die this weekend. Of course the kids made us do a burial. Apparently it freaked Chance out, and he wouldn't sleep in his bed because he just knew there were dead chicks in the sheets, and his feet could feel the feathers!

Easton "Such a Big Miracle, in such a Little Boy"

For those that don't know, our little boy nearly drowned in a bathtub accident when he was just 7 months old. I had run a bath for myself and left Easton (who could barely crawl) in his room on the floor. I ran out to the kitchen to clean up a glass my daughter had broken. When I returned to the bath... Easton had pulled himself into the bathroom and was floating face down in the water. He had his feet pajama's on which helped him slip over the side. He was under for about two - four minutes and it took four minutes of CPR from his daddy before he took his first breath. He was taken by ambulance to "Primary's" where he stayed in the ICU overnight. He had a full recovery. We are so, so lucky! He is ONE YEAR OLD now and we're so happy that our heavenly father decided that we could keep him!!! He brings so much SUNSHINE into our lives. "We love you Eastie". I put this on my blog for my own journal, but also for people to always be aware of your kids around water...they are capable of sooo much more than you may think!
