We've been our normal busy selves the last few weeks. Orthodontist appointments which included Payton getting his braces on! Poor kid is finally getting to the point where he can actually eat hard food. They put all of the braces on in one day AND his rubber bands! I was actually really surprised since all three older kids have had, or have, braces and usually it takes months before they use rubber bands. He's handled it well though. I had minor surgery on my leg to take care of some not so pretty veins that were giving me some problems. It went fine and my leg is healing nicely although tons of bruises. I'm suppose to be wearing these support hose which are the worst thing you've ever seen! haha. They are so thick and painful that I actually only lasted one day. They said three weeks! I don't think so. (Hopefully I don't regret that someday.) ;) What else...oh, Conner and Landon have been busy with choir. Their spring concert was last week and Sunday we went over and they were having a recital with all of the individual performances they are taking to contest this week. Conner is singing with his Boys 8 again this year and Landon is with two groups. One is a Boys 8 his age and the other is a Mixed 8. All the groups were pretty good although on Sunday during the recital Conner couldn't stop laughing when their group had a few issues. That wasn't good! Landon did fine except Bryan and I noticed at the same time with one of the groups that he forgot his words! haha. It was pretty obvious to us although he tried to fake his way through it. We'll see how they do Friday at contest. :) Their full choir is amazing and there isn't any question in my mind they will get all ones again. They always do.
New topic...68 days until our trip!! Getting so pumped! I just ordered a Safepack backpack for us to use during the trip and I love it! It's amazing and has steel wires in the bag to keep anyone from cutting the straps. (Apparently there are tons of pick pockets where we are touring and the more I read about it the more I felt we needed something better than my normal purse or Bryan keeping things in his wallet.) I talked to Disney the other day and our Adventure package we are using for touring is full already! They were taking 40 people in the group and he said they filled up quickly. It's kind of an experiment for them to use Adventures by Disney along with the cruise. He said once the new ship Disney is building is done and they have a ship permanently in the Med. they will probably mix both of them again.
Well, the other big news of the week is my BIG 40th is on Saturday! Hard to believe, really. Bryan and I have talked about trading the Suburban in (okay, I've talked about it TO Bryan) and yesterday when he came home from work early he told me we were going over to get the car I have been talking about! Yay! Anyway...we went over and after finding out we could get a great trade in price on the Suburban I picked out a new Traverse! I love it! It should take 4 to 6 weeks to get here. Of course, I picked black. I can't help it...I just can't see myself loving anything more than black. I wonder if that makes me totally boring? haha. I have read somewhere that people who pick the color black for their cars are introverted and somewhat antisocial. I guess that would fit me a little bit. More as I get older, that's for sure! :)
I am looking forward to the weekend though...Jessie is coming home and we haven't seen her for a couple of weeks. I told Bryan that for my birthday I wanted all of us to go to eat and a movie. That sounds kind of boring to most people but we rarely ever go out to eat as a FULL family unless we are on vacation and we never go to the movie together anymore. I have to drag Bryan to a theater so I have to make it something I really want to see. (Of course, since we are all going I have to pick a kids movie so I guess I'm limited! haha) Think Avatar is considered kid friendly? ;) I guess not.
