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!

Really Tasty Recipes from Mila and Tal

Here are some favorite drink recipies from Mila and Tal. Do you guys have a favorite drink?

Tallis’s Famous Chocolate Banana Smoothie
When bananas are on sale, buy a whole bunch. Literally. Peel them and break them in half. Put 2 or 3 pieces into a sandwich bag. Stick all of the sandwich bags into a larger bag or container and freeze them. Opa has a particular way of twisting the bag and securing it with a twist-tie, but you can just fold it over. With frozen bananas on hand you’ll always be ready to make this delicious beverage . . .
To make the drink:
Pour one cup of milk into a blender. Add one package of frozen bananas and one scoop of chocolate drink mix (like Ovaltine). Blend until frothy. Enjoy!

Milena’s Marvelous Mexican Hot Chocolate . . . mmmmmmm!
Buy a package of Mexican Hot chocolate. Abuelita’s is the brand at Wal-Mart. Make sure you buy the “cake” style, not the powder.
For every 1 cup mug of hot chocolate you will need two “triangles” of chocolate. Be careful chopping them! Put the chocolate triangles in the blender. Heat up 1 cup of milk in the microwave for every 2 triangles. Blend the hot milk and the chocolate on high until frothy. ¡Delicioso!

Happy birthday Aidan! I want to give you a planet hero toy from the store that has a button and wings that open and shut and I want you to visit again.
