Three little gamers all in a row...
this one, that one, putting on a show!
Marcus came over after school, which is a rare treat now that's he's in middle school. I miss having him over often. When these boy cousins get together there is usually some time spent playing games on phones, iPads, or iPods. They don't even mind watching each other play. Some may call this boring (me) but they sure don't think so.
We finished up Cameron's Valentine box this evening for school and then chased everyone around with it. AAHHHH!
I spent so much of yesterday working around the house and prepping for Super Bowl singing time for primary that I neglected making Super Bowl dinner plan for this evening. But no need to fear! The SDC (Sunday Dinner Committee, composed of the oldest girl from each Idiart/Nadauld family--with Rachel filling in for Emma) planned the whole thing. It was so low key and relaxing. I love passing the torch on to these lovely ladies.
He went bowling for his friend, Brady's, birthday today.
Cameron (upon picking him up from school today): Mom, can I have an apple when we get home today?
Me: Sure. Would you like me to use the apple peeler or just slice the apple (he usually has a preference).
Cameron: No, I want to just eat the apple. I need to get some more money for our money box.
Me: Why would that help you get money?
Cameron: Because my tooth is really wiggly and I think it will come out.
Me: Sounds great Buddy. (chuckle. smile.)
A few minutes later (and soon to be a dollar richer)...

| Proof that apples work! And proof that he didn't wash it before taking a bite. It's okay, we had to wash it after anyway since the bite was blood stained. Not sure it was quite wiggly enough to come out. He must have bit pretty hard. |
 |
| Cameron had me send this photo to his dad, all his cousins, grandparents, Idiart uncles, and especially Uncle Adam. Even his dentist got to hear the news! My last first tooth lost! |
Nicole has been wanting to go on a little date and spend some of her saved up Christmas money, well the money that she and her brothers keep stashing away (They have collected and joined together all of their birthday and Christmas money). What does she want to buy? Another Beanie Boo, of course. And a pair of boots she saw at Old Navy the other day.
When I called her orthodontist to make a quick appointment to get a wire fixed, today seemed like the perfect day to play hooky. I checked Nicole out a little after lunch along with Cameron because I couldn't get back in time to pick him up before the appointment. They were both very excited to go. In the car, I overheard this conversation while examining some of the money they brought from their money box.
Nicole: "See Cameron, it says 'In God We Trust' on the money."
Cameron: "That's true. 'Cuz you can always trust Him. He doesn't ever lie."
Nicole: "Ya! Even when He was a baby!"
It made my heart just melt!
We hit the mall, got a smoothie, bought beanie boos (one for each), enjoyed a message at Bed Bath and Beyond, bought boots at Old Navy, went to gymnastics, and VIOLIN with Mary and Noah (Tiff met us at gymnastics with them).
What a date! Loved every second of it!
Mary received a very special award today, Central Point Rotary student of the year. I don't know many ten year olds who can look so comfortable in a room full of adults answering questions so calmly. She is a special girl this one. And it seems that other people have caught on to her maturity and goodness too. She is always so well-liked by her teachers.
 |
| Mary and her principal Mrs. Scott and teacher Mrs. Ryerson. What an honor! |
 |
| In Mary's information sheet for the Rotary Club she wrote that her grandma was one of her heroes. She also shared that she plans on going to BYU and would like to become an author one day. |
 |
| Josh received this same award as a fifth grader at MRE. Also on the list were three other LDS children. |
