Cousin Time and Teeth Time!!!!

When we do Ortho Appt's it's a family affair! lol My sister Eryka came into town for a quick day trip to my sister's office for ortho appts! Best Ortho in Town... Dr. Ence's office! So I met them over there and had Penny, Cash and Piper all checked too! Wahoo!!! After the apts we all went to the park while we ordered our favorite place over by Eryn's house Jesse Pizza and Sandwiches and then went to Eryn's to eat dinner and hang out! The kids loved being with their cousins! Such a packed filled fun day! Love my family so much!! Just the boost I needed!! Sisterly bond and love!

Look at these teeth!!! lol Penny 11.5 yrs- Teeth coming in-  Still has 4 baby teeth left! Waiting on 2nd bicuspids to come in then braces!! Looks like braces wont happen until 8th grade or High School at the rate they are moving! lol! She was so excited to get her New Oral B Toothbrush! She set  up the app that goes with it and loves the high techness of it! lol She is nonstop brushing her teeth!

Cash 8.5 yrs- Slooooooow moving teeth! He has only lost 2 teeth and still a while before he looses more teeth! Kids his age have a full mouth of real teeth in by now! lol That's ok he's still rocking those baby teeth!! That's what happens when you don't get your 1st tooth until 16mons! Yes you read that correctly not 6mons...16months! He is to continue his blue bite piece retainer at night for his deep bite! Early detection! Is shorter time in braces in the future! At his growing teeth rate he will be graduating high school before getting braces! lol 

Piper 5yrs- She's right on track for her age! She got her 1st tooth at 6mons which is normal! She will prod pass Cash up on the loosing teeth! Not sure how much he will like this when this starts happening! lol She's doing great! She did so good being in the big chair getting checked!

Love these kids of mine so much! We love Auntie Dr. Ence and Auntie Dr. Schmitt too!! They are the best!! We know we are in great hands with these 2 Dr.'s for our teeth! Thank you ladies!!!

National Anthem!

Holy Moly can my baby sing!! She was asked to sing the National Anthem for the Varsity Basketball team for her school -Somerset Sky Pointe Academy! This was going to be a challenge because she had never sung this song as a solo piece and was going to be singing a cappella! She has been practicing all month! She was so excited to sing the National Anthem! She got all dressed up and ready to check in with the Athletics Director! He announced her name on the mic...She played her pitch in her ear and away she sang! Rocking it out! Her voice echoing off the mic! The crowd went wild! She nailed it! We were so proud of our girl! Thank you Aunt Bre and her family for coming! She always loves having you guys there! #1 supporters! Love it!

From her first performance Monday Night! 

The school  loved her so much that they asked her to come back and sing again at the final home game of the season and senior night! This time she wore her school colors! :) My sisters and bff Jackie even came to watch! and of course she rocked it out! Her voice echoing off the mic so beautifully! Pitch perfect a cappella! Her confidence just  blows my mind!  Never nervous! Not cocky! Always cool, calm and collective! She has a such special spirit about her! The crowd went wild! What a rush! Hearing my baby sing one of the most powerful songs of all time! Having heard her sing not only was I proud to be an American... I was so proud to be her mom! She lit the stands up with her voice, smile and stage presence! Tears filled up my eyes and I looked over at my sisters so proudly and they had tears in their eyes streaming down their faces! We love you Penny! You make us all so proud!

Penny went had a double header! 2 basketball games to cheer at! Thankfully her little bff and cousin Emma is on the team so Aunt Bre favorite took her to the games! She got to spend the night at Emma's which never happens cause I don't allow sleepovers at other houses. We can have sleep overs at my house but my kids are not allowed to got to other homes to sleep over! So this was super fun for Penny!
