Bye Bye Wisdom Teeth

So last Friday Brett had to have his wisdom teeth pulled. He is not a fan of the dentist and had to be put to sleep. He was not happy, but in a lot of pain and had to have it done. I waited while he underwent surgery and when he was waking up, they called me back into the room he was recovering in.

Most of you know how funny Brett is, but I don't think anyone but me has been around when he is coming out of the anesthesia. Let me tell you, I was laughing so hard I was crying. The different nurses kept poking their head's into the room to make sure everything was OK. I'm not sure that they are used to hysterical laughter in a recovery room!

As he was waking up, he was telling me how nice the doctor was and how cute the nurses were! I didn't take offense to this as the first thing he said when I came into the room was " I want a kiss! " while pointing at what he thought was his lips but because he was still numb, ended up being more or less his chin. The whole time that the anesthesia was still strong, he made me laugh uncontrollably! His doctor did pop his head into the room to tell me that Brett was not responsible for anything that he said right now, that he was more or less " Drunk ". I truly enjoyed him in this condition!

Although our holiday weekend was not too exciting because of his recovery, I still managed to get him to eat and stay fairly pain free, thanks to the vicodin extra strength of course! We slept in Brett's new tent that he got for his birthday, had some fires and played some baseball with the kid's. Now that those teeth are long gone, Brett is wondering " When is the tooth fairy coming?"

And the band played on...

So last Thursday Andrew had his last band concert of the year. It was very exciting! We were lucky enough to have many of our family members come, including the Lil Dudes who we don't get to see very often. It was a lot of fun to see their reactions to the music! They did very well, as I thought they would. It was very nice of Jeff to come as we know he had not been feeling well. Andrew and Brandon were also very excited to see their cousin Spencer as it had been quite some time since they had seen each other! Brandon and Spencer are about the same age and they all get along very well. They do tend to get a little hyper but, oh well, they enjoy each other! Both Nannie and Poppie and Grandma and Grandpa were able to come as well as Crystal and Spencer, Kirstin, Jeff and the lil dudes, so Andrew's cheering section was quite large! Brett was also able to see Andrew play with the band for the first time this year and was quite impressed with the first year band! I think they sounded so good for this being their first year! We all went to Subway after and got to spend a little more time with the Lil Dudes who I personally can't get enough of! All in all, it was a really nice time! :)

Rainy days

So today while I was at work it finally rained! We really needed it! Not such a good thing was getting a call from the boy's telling me that the electricity was out! Not exactly the kind of thing you want to come home from after a long, icky day at work! So we were without power for a couple of hour's which would normally not bother me but, it did really irratate me because of the week that I'm having. It's only Tuesday too!
We are looking forward to the rest of the week, Brandon is going on a field trip tomorrow and on Thursday, Andrew has his last band concert of the year, and he will be speaking to the audience. Kind of a big deal considering it's band and you don't get to talk in band! He is really looking forward to it because his dad get's to go to this one! Also, he has invited many family member's and is eager to see who will come!
Brett is not looking forward to the holiday weekend like he would normally, as he has to have two wisdom teeth pulled out on Friday. Poor guy! At least he get's to be alseep while it's being done though! That's all for now!

I promise to love faithfully

Welcome to the blogging world...

So we decided that we could not be outdone, especially since we aren't the best at keeping in touch with everyone! This is our new blogspot and I will try to keep it as updated as life will let me! For now this is it, as it is late Sunday night and it is back to the grind tomorrow, but hopefully I will be able to add more soon! A very Happy Birthday to Brett today, and many more to come!
