Finally Braces


With much anticipation leading up to this day, Victoria is figuring out it's a lot to get used to. Not only did they put the braces on they told her that she needs to wiggle her last two baby teeth out or they will be pulling them. They also put clement mounds( that the only way I can describe them) on her lower back teeth so that her bite will change. The only problem with that is that she can't close her mouth all of the way, and since they are the teeth that you chew with it has made it interesting to eat. The up side it that she only has to have the cement on for the first twelve weeks, and if all goes well with these new type of braces she could have them off in as little as a year. We will see.

Two More Days

Two more days until Victoria gets her braces. I can't wait just so I don't have to hear the countdown until she gets them on. I don't think that she knows all of the after affects of them. Maybe then she wouldn't be so happy. She is doing really well in school this year. She is really applying herself. She had a science test last week and got 105. 100 for the test and 5 for her studying tools, which I made. So I guess I received the 5. We always joke with her on what our grade is.
She had 7 hours of choreography last week and the team already looks good. They flew a coach in from Texas to teach the routine. We are all really excited for this year. She is being thrown in the air a lot, which makes me a little on the nervous side. I hope the girls catch her. I think I liked it better when she was the one catching.
I also started this week working at the gym while she is there. They are losing their receptionist and I've had experience. It will help with the cost of her ever increasing fee there.
Brent's dad, Elgen, had a pacemaker put in today. I guess everything went well. We will go to the hospital tonight to see him.
No new pictures this time, but check back after Thursday to see the new mouth bling.
