High School Musical on Ice

Ellie's mom bought tickets to see High School Musical, The Ice Tour about a month ago, and then she ended up having a conflict so she couldn't go. She asked me to take Ellie and her sister to the show, and we went last night. I don't know anything about HSM; I've never seen any of the movies or anything, but it was a pretty good show. It was fun to see the people skate and stuff. Ellie and Gabbie both said that they loved it, so that's good. I snapped a photo of Ellie as she was intensely watching the show.

Dislocated What???

Last Thursday I went to the dentist for a routine filling. Ever since then, my jaw had been really hurting! I thought it was just fatigue from having my mouth open for a while for the filling, and I just kept waiting for the pain to go away. The pain never went away, and it even kept getting worse! Finally yesterday morning, the pain in my jaw was so bad that I couldn't chew on anything, nor could I open or close my mouth very far. I called my dentist office and asked them what I should do about the pain, and they recommended I come in so my dentist could look at it.

When I got there, my dentist looked at it, listened to my complaints and gave me a diagnosis. My jaw was dislocated!!! Are you kidding me? I had been walking around with a dislocated jaw for a week?!?! He said that sometimes when you're sitting in a dental chair for a while with your mouth open, your jaw just kind of slips out of place! He grabbed it, popped it back in, and I was out of there in no time.

I feel great today! I guess that must have done the trick because I feel like a new woman. I've been eating everything in sight just because I can!

Light Reading, Anyone?

I'm generally known for getting a ton of magazines and catalogs in the mail, but today had to be a record. I opened my mailbox today to find 9 magazines and catalogs in there! Some of it may be attributed to the upcoming holiday season, but dude that's a ton in one day! What's really sad about it is that I probably got like 9 more different ones over the course of last week. I'm definitely going to be reading the mail tonight for a couple of hours...

Holy Gas, Batman!

Man, I got gas today for $1.89! I was so excited that I had to snap a photo. Can you believe it? I filled up my tank for just under $25! Just a month or so ago I was filling up for about $60! This is great!!!

Pooped Peeps

So Reyan and Hayden stayed at my house last night. After all the chaos and by the time I got them at my home and in bed it was like 11:30. Late for a couple of tiny kids. I was convinced that they would probably sleep until at least 8! Well at 6:30, they were awake. 6:30??? It was still DARK out! I told them to go back to bed, but they just ended up playing in the room. I knew it was going to be a long day... We went to the hospital around 9:30 and stayed until around 12:30. Here are a couple of shots I took of them as we were driving back to my apartment. I was cracking up.

Let's just say we are going to bed EARLY tonight.

Kai William Pritchard

My newest nephew, Kai William Pritchard was born this morning at 5:50am!

He is just SO CUTE! It was fun to take the kids to the hospital and have them see their new little brother. They were both so excited to see and touch him. On the way home, Hayden commented that "He's cuter than a puppy!" Kids are funny.Here's a video I shot of the new little guy. Did I mention that he is SO CUTE?!???!!

Crazy Friday Night

Friday evening, Ellie and I took Reyan and Hayden to a hockey game. Shawn is out of town, so it was all kiddos and me. We had a really fun time, and the kids were definitely hyper.

I fed the kids plenty of junk. Isn't that what the fun auntie is supposed to do? Well, the Chiefs ended up losing, so that was a bummer. On our way to drop off Reyan and Hayden, we got a call from my brother-in-law Cory saying that my sister Julie's water broke!!! OMG! I kept joking about how she should have her baby on Friday night, but it was actually happening! I took the kids back to their house, packed them up a couple days worth of clothes and decided that they would stay at my apartment for a couple of days. Julie and Cory were off to the hospital.

It was kind of a cruel joke because I would NOT have filled them with every kind of junk food if I knew I was going to have them for the whole night. Man were they hyper!
