Have I ever told you how much I love my Odyssey? Love. Love. Love! Yes, there are times when I reminisce of our days of driving our Denali, but then I am jolted back into reality when I pass the gas station and have no regrets of making the trade. Do you see that average fuel consumption? Yes, your reading that right; 22.3 MPG !!! And I still have a half a tank of gas left. Seriously I love it!!!

Aahhh…in our very near future, X’s 3 (this round).  We had our dentist/orthodontist appointment bright and early today. Things went well for check ups and  McKenzie tolerated the 2.5 hour wait as well as expected. Montana loved getting her teeth cleaned, no pictures for her this time.  I don’t blame her though, those x-rays a a bit uncomfortable.  End result is that Marie needs her 2nd phase of braces and bands, Madison needs her mischievous tooth extracted and the first round of braces treatment on the top, Mikayla needs to brush more diligently (we’ll just leave it at that) and needs two baby teeth extracted to make room for the permanent teeth along with some fancy spacer. Mikayla thinks she is getting the sparkly gold platted bands (bottom left), not!!!!

I am off for now, because I have to find the perfect place in the yard for my money tree to go, LOL!!!

I am down and out with food poisoning from our celebration yesterday. If I ever eat a buffet again, just kick me in the stomach…for REAL!  This is a pretty lame picture, but it’s all I could muster for the day…

YEAH, Spring is coming…Spring is coming!!! That tiny little bud of red gives me hope that the warmer weather is on its way.  The birds are already back in town so now it’s time for our new trees that the Lt. and the girls planted last weekend to start budding.

looking for the perfect book

These two books have kept me away from blogging these last few weeks.  It’s a good thing, right? I’ve been engrossed in the Word getting caught up in my reading for the Bible in 90 days challenge. I have learned so much reading and have lots of questions that I want to delve further into.

I also have been re-reading The Well Trained Mind.  Next school year (2011-2012) we are making the leap to a full classical style schooling. I have been lurking a bit on the WTM forum and soaking up all the info I can.  Now, I can’t wait to read what I’ve been missing on my favorite blogs.

End of season awards at gymnastics for Montana. She told Coach T that she wants to be on level 4…too bad she is too young.  You have to be 6 years old so keep working those skills baby and you will reach your goals of making team in the summer of 2012.

We had a tough competition this day. Both girls did really great and Madison fought hard and made it to the podium, taking 3rd place on vault. All-around scores for both were Madison-

and Mikayla-. Next up is sectionals on the 12th of March…almost to State girls, keep up the good work!

Have you ever seen a female boxer? An 8 year old female boxer at that! This little girl did not mess around in the ring. She knocked down the little boy she fought for the title and I felt bad for him, because I am sure his parents told him to never hit a girl.
