Here are the pumpkin carvers and Trick-or-Treaters!!! Bailey is an Olympic Gymnastics Girl, Dexter is a Football Player, and Jentri is a ladybug!!

Lost a tooth!

One of Bailey's top teeth became loose on Sunday night. She pushed and pulled with her tongue, and finger trying to loosen it all week. Finally by Friday night, her gums were purple, red, and starting to get swollen. It was hanging by one root. We finally told her it needed to come out. I told her I was going to look at it, but really I was trying to get a good hold of it and then took one good pull and it was out. She got mad at me and wanted me to stop. She didn't even know that I had pulled it out. When she saw the hole in her mouth, she started smiling and hasn't stopped yet!!!!

Trick Question??

When your sister asks what you are doing in two months for specific days, plead the 5th!!! Crystal and Jeff had the opportunity to go to Mexico for Jeff's continuing education, and asked Dan and I to babysit Easton and Adri. Of course we said yes!!

So, the fun began last Monday night, the same night that Uncle Bryan was here. The kids were great. They loved playing and having sleepovers everynight. We had them Tuesday and Wednesday, Crystal's neighbor's took them Thursday afternoon and evening, Angela and Danny took them Friday over night, and then to Lagoon on Saturday. We took them Saturday night to a neighborhood Halloween party, then to a temple fireside, and back to the party! It was crazy, because each party required different clothes. The Halloween party the kids were in costumes, the fireside they were in church clothes, and then back into costumes to finish the Halloween party!! After a long night, we finally had the kids in bed and about midnight Adri came out and said, "I throwed up!" Ahhhhh! We bathed her and cleaned her bedding. About 5:00am, Bailey came up and said that Dexter had thrown up in her room. Once again Dan and I bathed and started more laundry. We decied church was out of the question. Sunday afternoon, Bailey started throwing up and was sick until Monday night. Crystal and Jeff got home Monday night about midnight!! What a crazy week!!!

dinner and a shower???

Last monday, my uncle from Boise called me about 4:30 in the afternoon. He drives a flatbed truck for a trucking company out of Oregon and was in SLC for the evening. He told me he was at the Flying J and needed dinner and a shower and wasn't paying for either one of them!!! I laughed and told him he was in luck, because for some strange reason, I had cooked more enchiladas than usual. Dan graciously turned around and headed to the Flying J to pick him up. We had a great time. He ate dinner with us, played baseball with the kids, watched T.V. and then headed to bed. The next morning, Dan took him back to the Flying J and he went on his way. When the kids woke up, they were sad that Uncle Bryan had already left. We hope he comes through SLC more often!!!!

Wiggy-Waggies????

Ok, so the latest drama in the Snell household...
Number 1.
Dan helped my dad with concrete a week or so ago when we were in Pocatello, then went mountain biking, and then played basketball. I keep telling him he is getting old, but he refuses to admit it. Consequently, he hurt his back and has not been able to walk, talk, or make much sense of anything the past week. We took him to the doctor and they first said it was a slipped disc, then a slipped vertebrae, and now a bulging disc. Obviously, because of the pain he has been HIGHLY medicated. While medicated I had to leave him to run to the grocery store. I told him I was leaving and I would be back soon. He said, "Ok, Watch out for bugs!" I laughed and told him ok. When I got home, I told him I had watched our for bugs and he said, "Good, they'll get you everytime!" I said yes they will. He said, "Especially the big ones!" Laughing and provoking this "drugged" story, I said I couldn't remember the names of the big ones, and asked what they were. He very seriously said, "I think they are the Wiggy-Waggies, that is what I remember!" Moral of the story, Don't do DRUGS! and never give drugs to Dan!!



Number 2.
Jentri being the monkey that she is decided the same weekend we were in Pocatello to jump off of my mom's couch! She cried and held her foot, but I couldn't see anything wrong. Two days later, she was still complaining of her foot, wouldn't walk on it, and would not put full body weight on it. So, I took her to the doctor. They x-rayed it and said they could not see a break. But, since she was still favoring it, they decided to cast it. Lovely, Jentri is in a cast and Dan can't walk!!
The luck of the Dan Snell household!!!!!!!
