Tooth and Dare

 I'm sitting in Relief Society today, feeling a little cold, but enjoying the lesson.  My friend sitting next to me kindly lends me her coat since I am freezing.  So I drape her coat over my lap to stay warm.  Out of nowhere, Will walks into the Relief Society room, walks over to me and drops a tooth in my lap (or rather on top of my friends coat) and whispers, "I lost a tooth" then walks out.  The ladies all around me got quite a chuckle of that.  I did too as soon as I picked the tooth up off her coat and saw he didn't leave any blood on it!  That is just how Will rolls.  Every couple of months, he just brings me a tooth and says, "Here, I lost a tooth".  Then when I tell him I didn't even know he had a loose tooth he responds with, "I didn't".  No drama, no complaining, no worries, he just decides it is time to get rid of another one and out it comes.  Quite the opposite of his older sisters (and Layton has had his academy award-worthy moments as well).  It was when Karsyn lost her first tooth that through the wailing and screaming and gnashing of teeth (literally) that we first proclaimed that we would make sure to leave the country when she gave birth to each of our grandchildren. I'm still not sure if he is really brave or just needing some extra cash, but either way, I like his style.

Oh no you don’t! You can NOT have time to be blogging already. I’m so jealous! I really need to get rid of this job thing I’ve got going on. Really makes all of my traveling and catching up difficult! Griffin lost his last tooth during the night. Woke up and asked if anyone had seen his tooth that disappeared out of his mouth during the night.

Hauʻoli Lā Hānau Scott!

Heather sends us at least one vacation deal to look at each month. In September 2020 she showed us a sale on airfare to Hawaii over Scott's birthday. We had such a fun time there in January 2020 that it didn't take us long to commit and we booked airfare to Maui. We soon realized we couldn't find any affordable lodging in Maui that also offered free cancellation. Generous cancellation policies are definitely a must in these crazy COVID times. Heather found a good deal on lodging in Kauai so we changed our airfare from Maui to Kauai. Yes! Everything was finalized! Well that was until it was declared that all visitors to Hawaii would be required to show a negative COVID test, from one of their approved testing sites, to get off the plane in Hawaii. That was discouraging so we then changed our plans and flights to spend the week in Cancun. Finally we knew where we would be spending Scott's birthday week! Or not. With just a little over a week before our vacation date, the

Blue and Gold

Our Blue and Gold Banquet theme this year was "Camping and Recycling".  I was in charge of the chocolate-dipped marshmallows for the centerpieces.  The gym looked great and everyone had a great time.  Of course, each cub scout brought in a theme-centered cake for the cake "contest" which supplied our dessert for the night.  Will decided to go with the camping theme and we made a giant Smore cake with the biggest home-made graham cracker known to man!  The boys spent some time at the recycling center at the back of the gym, making their unique creations from a bag of recycled items. Glad that is over!  Now just one more big cub scout pack meeting for the year....Pinewood Derby!!!!

Paris

So here is a look at our trip to Paris.  It might be more than most of you care to read!  I just copied and pasted emails we sent home while on our trip.  This is more for my benefit than anyone else's since this blog is the closest I have come to keeping a journal.  Hope you enjoy the journey- we sure did! View from our Seine River Cruise Day One We have the tiniest little room way up at the very top of a very narrow skinny hotel. It reminds us of the love dungeon (our first basement apartment) but it is up at the top so we called it our "love tower"! The bed is a double and you can only stand up straight in the room if you are standing on Scott's side of the bed! The tub is half size (I think they made it for Napoleon).  But I slept great. The weather was amazing! After getting in it was too early to get our room so we left our bags at the hotel and walked around for about an hour while waiting to meet up with the Parkers again. We were in the Plaza of San Mic
