Flash that Beautiful Smile

Ever since he got his braces on in July of 2023, Camden has been looking forward to getting them off. Due to the snow storm we had a few months ago happening on a day he was supposed to have his appointment, he had to wait a little longer than anticipated. But, today was the day he finally got them off and was able to flash his beautiful smile.

Instead of getting impressions for
a retainer, they now just take 3-D 
pictures and he will get his
retainer.

The removal

My handsome boy!!

Camden is out of braces and Casen is almost ready to start them. At his dentist appointment in December, the dentist told Casen that he had two more teeth to lose and if he didn't do it by his next appointment in May, he would have to pull them. Fortunately, while we were in Kerrville this past weekend, he lost a loose tooth when it came out with a sneeze. LOL. Only Casen  . . . 

Final HS Soccer Games of the Season

We have spent the last weeks going to soccer games every Tuesday and Friday. After his knee dislocation, watching the games had been more stressful than ever. Any collision he has, which is often, has made me gasp and hold by breath. Fortunately, it got a little better as the season progressed. As much as he was not a fan of wearing his brace all season, his knee did behave itself. His team lost more games than they have won, but despite that, it has been fun watching him play for his school. 

Camden's buddy, Seth, has been taking pictures of the soccer players for money (smart side gig for him). Camden and Seth are church buddies and in YMSL together. Since Camden has helped Seth with geometry, he shared some pictures with Camden that he had taken. Camden says they are fire! :)

Melissa and Shawn were able to come to cheer him on at one of his games in Klein.

Final game of the season.

Happy 5th Birthday Nina

Our sweet baby girl turned 5 yesterday. She had a hair appointment on Thursday so that she would be beautiful for her big day. We have absolutely enjoyed every single day she has been in our family!!

Today, while Casen and I were in Waller for baseball, we headed to Buc-ee's between games for some lunch. While there, we ran into Reveille, the First Lady of Aggieland. While Casen in not a fan of A&M (most likely because his brother his) we decided we MUST take a picture and send it to Camden. 

Reveille's handler that day was Tony (according to what I could find on her Instagram page) as well as another student and they both were so very kind. Not only did they take one picture, they took several  to ensure we were all looking at the camera. Reveille was so very sweet!!!
