Dallas is 7

Jan 8, 2016

We got him this duck hunting game and Justin is going to make him a new art desk for his room also.  He has definitely outgrown the one he got when he was 3.

This was probably one of his favorite gifts.  It was a marker maker from Max and Marleigh.

Everyone getting in on the skip it and pogo ball action...

Bowling Party

This year we let the boys have a separate party with friends, and Dallas chose bowling.

Dallas, Caleb, Kyle, Easton and Preston

This is Kyle, who is in Dallas's class at school.

Goodbye, Baby Teeth

Ty is 9, and up to this point he had not lost his 2 top baby teeth.  Turns out the reason was because he had 2 sets of adult teeth on the top front.  So the baby set and the extra adult ones needed to be removed.  So, on 1/6/17 it was off to the oral surgeon's office.

Overall things went very well and very quickly (the whole thing took 30 minutes).  But he was NOT happy about the fact that they had to give him an IV and he didn't get any "happy gas" first.  Evidently, the first time they stuck him he moved and the needle came out so they had to do it twice more.  He HATES shots, so that was the part he complained about the most, even after the surgery was over.  We came home and he laid on the couch for a couple of hours.  After that he was up bouncing around and playing like normal.

More Wrestling

Both boys are really excited about wrestling and love going to practice and meets.  They are doing pretty well.  Both have gotten several pins (and been pinned a few times too.)

The Boys' First Colts Game

1/1/2017

Santa also brought the boys tickets to their first ever Colts game.  

The first half the Colts weren't really doing too well (what else is new this season?) so I was worried the boys were going to get bored.  But they came back in the 2nd half so that was much more exciting for them.

We won by scoring a touchdown right at the end of the game.  Here's Dallas catching the confetti.
