Weston lost TWO teeth!

Weston's bottom two teeth have been loose for quite a while, but they were never coming out. Then we noticed that a new tooth was coming in behind one of his teeth! So, we went off to the dentist and it was decided that they should be extracted (pulled out). Weston watched a show on the ceiling while they numbed his mouth and then the dentist took those teeth right out! Weston didn't even flinch!

That night, he put the teeth into a little pillow for the tooth fairy. In the morning, he found a gold dollar coin (for his first tooth) and a dollar bill (for his second) and a note from the tooth fairy. She said she was going to use the teeth for the guard tower on her castle she is building. So cool!

Meeting the Prophet

Weston, Aidan, and Brennan got the AMAZING opportunity to meet the Prophet tonight! Our neighbors go to the Cathedral of the Madeleine in downtown SLC, and the Cathedral is celebrating its 100 year anniversary. Our neighbors were singing at a special Civic Celebration, so they invited us to attend. And President Monson was a speaker at it. We saw the Prophet sitting at the front, so before the meeting began, we went up to meet him.

Words of Weston: "He made his ears go funny (move). He gave us a high five. He asked our names. Dad told him. His hair was darker on TV but there it was lighter. I felt happy to meet the prophet."

Answers from Aidan: "Meet President Monson. A high five. He wiggled his ears."

He asked the kids for high fives and then told them to come close and look at his ears. He then wiggled his ears for the kids. Scott was with the kids talking with him and the newspapers people took photos of them. So cool!
