Jayce lost his first tooth

Jayce finally lost his first tooth. He thought it would never happen and neither did we. His adult tooth was already coming in before the baby tooth came out. He's got another one next to the one he lost that must come out since the adult tooth is already growing in behind it too. Can you say braces? This year, Jayce was brave enough to have his teeth cleaned and he realized it wasn't so bad. Last year, there was a lot of crying and he wouldn't open his mouth. So far the kids haven't had any cavities. Thank goodness.

Kindergarten Graduation

Jayce graduated from kindergarten this year. He's excited to move on to 1st grade and attend school all day. At the end of Kindergarten, he is reading quite well and writes beautifully. He now enjoys writing where before he had no interest.

Jayce was able to be in the same class with one of his best friends, Aubrey. They have known each other since birth and have always gotten along very well. It helped his anxiety knowing she was with him at school.

T-ball

Jayce is finally old enough to play t-ball. Last week they had opening ceremonies and Jayce walked in a parade with his team carrying a banner with his team name. A few kids that he knows from church are on his team and his coach is a mom of one of his friends. He cried at first before his first game started because he was scared but soon got over it and now looks forward to each practice and game.

Poor Jayce

While we were in Overton, Jayce was still trying to get over being sick. He was the last of the three kids to get sick and he had stayed home from school 4 days the week before because of it. Jayce went through 3 boxes of tissue (no joke)while we were in Overton. Colton and Megan each had earaches that kept them up at night while we were there. Luckily they got over them without antibiotics. While playing with a punch ball, he got hit in the face maybe by the rubber band and hurt his eye. We never found anything in it but he cried and cried saying it hurt. He must have gotten scratched or something. We'll never know. He could not open it and the sun/light especially hurt it. The hurt eye sure made the nose run. Poor guy. He wore the patch for 2 days and then it was better.

As stated before, the eye didn't keep him from 4-wheeling. We had to pack a lot of tissue for him though.

Jayce asked me, "Why does everything always happen to me?"

Easter

This year we went to Overton, Nevada to spend Easter with Blake's parents. This was also conference weekend so we hunted for eggs before and between sessions. Of course, the Easter Bunny hid eggs for the kids and then they had fun hiding them for each other. During conference, a close family friend, George Keele from Gardnerville,NV was announced as one of the new area seventies. That was exciting for us to hear.

The kids sure had fun coloring and decorating eggs with Granny.

Easter Bunny brought games, puzzles and books this year and cute beanies for Megan.

My favorite smiling faces

I am so looking forward to the return of these smiling faces. Go away sickness!
