FEBRUARY 2019

   Kennedy had her first two GSL Volleyball Tournaments on the 9th and the 23rd.  I was planning on going to both, but with Talen getting sick, I didn't make it to either.  She was a good sport and went with the parents of the other girls on her team.  The first tournament her team took 1st place in the Silver bracket.  She was pretty excited because 1st place gets a medal.  But the second tournament was even better - they took 1st in the Gold bracket!  She was beyond excited.  This time they beat the team that beat them in the last tournament.  She says that she really likes these tournaments better than the ones that she went to down in Vegas for SUVA.  But from now on, I vow to make it to the rest of her tournaments - I hate missing out on seeing her play!!

   On the 3rd, Daxton and I went to "Great to be 8".  He's getting pretty excited to be baptized - and I can't believe that he's almost 8 already!!  We have officially set his baptism date for June 1st.

   On the 4th, Kennedy went to the dentist - no cavities!  Carter had his dentist appointment on the 13th (thanks to Cathy for taking him while I was at the hospital with Talen), he had 2 cavities filled and then had to go back again on the 27th to have his little extra "tumor" thing removed.  He was such a trooper, it looked so stinking painful!  They totally had to cut open his gums to remove it, but Carter didn't even flinch.  In fact, the dentist said that Carter was "the best patient in the world!"    

  On the 25th, Carter had his parent teacher conference.  His teacher said that he is doing great, he just needs to work on subtraction and not mixing lower and capital letters when writing a sentence.  When we first started him in Kindergarten, we did it knowing that he was one of the youngest in his class and we might have to have him re-take Kindergarten if he wasn't keeping up with the other kids.  So, I asked his teacher how she thought that he was doing and she said that he was totally fine to move on to first grade - turns out that we have another little smarty pants in our family!

   Daxton had his parent teacher conference on the 26th.  It wen't really well too.  Dax is doing fantastic in all areas, but especially in his Language Arts.  He is currently at a 4th grade reading level!  His teacher said that he was also excelling in Math too!  Why am I not surprised?!?!  Daxton has always been so stinking smart!  I just pray that he can focus on school enough to put all those smarts to good use.  I am sure he will, he is such a good boy!!
