A note from Mommy:

If you have followed the blog you have seen how much we appreciate Hope Kids for all they do to bring joy into the lives of kids like Peyton.  For the last two years we had a team for the Wasatch Adventure and raised money for the organization.  This year we will take it a step further as Peyton has been asked to be one of the featured Hope Kids for their annual Faces of Hope dinner & auction.  Peyton will be there in all of her glory - which could be good or bad depending on her mood!  Please consider purchasing a ticket and helping this organization that continues to do so much for Peyton and other children like her.  To purchase tickets:  http://facesofhope.hopekids.org/

Thursday, March 1st, 2012 - just a few days away.  My joint release was scheduled for Monday, April 16th but Dr Morales had a cancellation and called to see if we wanted to move our surgery up.  Mommy jumped right on that since 1. I am healthy now and there are no guarantees I will be in April and 2. Since I have lots of surgeries in my future might as well get another one over and done with.  The plan is that I will stay overnight and go home at some point on Friday. 

Wish me luck!

Mommy surprised me by meeting Uncle Lonnie, Aunt Kristin and Jackson at Airborne Sports in Draper this morning.  We got there right as they opened at 10 am and before they got too busy.  Jackson had been there a few weeks prior for a birthday party so he showed me around.  It's hard to describe a place with trampolines and pits of foam squares so you'll just have to check it out yourself someday.  But Jackson and I had tons of fun and I think Uncle Lonnie wasn't far behind us.  He had a great time throwing both of us in the pit and pulling in Mommy and Aunt Kristin too!  (There was even a little lovin going on in the foam pit for Uncle Lonnie and Aunt Kristin - sweet!)

I have been complaining of teeth pain lately in a few different spots.  My parents figured it had to be new cavities since as you know my mouth is the perfect storm for dental decay.  After taking a look today though, the dentist didn't see any obvious signs of anything amiss so he sent me off for an xray.  As you can probably tell from the picture above, my mouth is a little unorganized!  Apparently, my six year old molars are coming in but because my teeth are not where they are supposed to be they are pushing up under some existing molars.  The hope is they will work their way around the existing teeth but looking at this photo regardless of the outcome for these particular teeth I have some serious dental work in my future!

This my friends is the Red Germ!  Finally after months of my family and friends wondering what the heck this guy looks like while at Grandma's today the commercial came on.  Mommy started screaming "it's the red germ!" as if he was a rock star!  Finally my parents don't think I am crazy!

For Valentine's Day I was super spoiled as usual.  At Grandma and Papa Smith's house I had a gigantic balloon and a basket filled with fun toys.  Grandma and Grandpa Mower know how much I like to dance so they found a doll I could "attach" to my shoes and dance with.  Dancing with the Stars is definately in my future!

Grandma Glenda helped me make my parents a Valentine's card.  Isn't it cute?
