Trip to the Dentist...

 I know you don't typically leave a tip when you go to the dentist but I felt inclined after this is the sight that greeted the dental hygienist this afternoon. I believe her verbatim comment was, "I've never seen so many people in this chair. Ever."  I hope she never has to.  It was the dental adventure I was dreaming it would be (and by dreaming I am referring to a really bad nightmare).  It actually went better than expected due to the fact that the staff transformed into a preschool for Liv and were fortunately not baby haters.   I practiced with Liv for a long time about what we do at the dentist but I had no idea how well she would perform.  The second she sat in the chair she should stared with her mouth gaping as big as she could open it.

It was making everyone laugh because if anyone came near her she would immediately just open her mouth.  She was a champion with her tutti fruity nasty wasty toothpaste cleaner. She wouldn't take off the pink shades they offered as she watched "Brave."

She looked like a science experiment and almost let them finish before she suddenly sat up, grabbed the hygenists hands and said, "All Done."  She wasn't joking. No more tutti fruity happened after that announcement.

I just want to know why they don't have an adult treasure box with gift certificates, jewelry, and treasures for my age bracket. That's the only thing that could have made our dental adventure even better.  Thankfully we have 6 more months before we have to sign up for the adventure once again.  0 cavities for the 3 Seibold women (granted Grace has no teeth but I bet her gums are superior). Not too bad. I think we will celebrate tonight with some oreo milkshakes.

College Life

     So I have decided to take up the task of resurrecting the family blog.  I would also appreciate some help in this task.  Anywho, so basically I have been a college student for over a month now and boy has it been a big adjustment.  I had a break down every day for the first week and would call Brian sobbing, begging him to run away to Italy with me.  He didn't go for it.  But, I am now pleased to announce that I am enjoying life once again, staying on top of my classes, and not planning to run away.  I was unsure of my roommates at first (Due to text messages I would receive at 12:03 asking where I was followed by a "drive home safely", when I was home at 12:06.  Ps. For those who don't know the Honor Code, curfew is 12), but now I love them and we have so much fun together!  Tonight we made chocolate chip cookies and watched Anna and the King, great movie by the way.  Another reason to rejoice is that Eugene lives 60 seconds away and Johann(sad to admit this but I don't know how to spell this) lives 2700 seconds away!  We usually have Sunday dinner together every couple weeks.  Kode and I have our ceremonial trip to Wally's World every week which includes sorting through the $5 movie bin, walking down almost every aisle, and getting high from smelling this scent stuff you put in a jar.  I seriously love having them so close, they have kept me sane! 

     Now for what you all have been dieing to hear about, the one and only Brian John Frederick.  What it basically comes down to is that we are in love and we will keep you updated.  We trade weekends of who will drive for three hours, and it is always a struggle when it is his turn.  This has nothing to do with him and everything to do with Rexburg being very small and that our brains sometimes struggle with being creative.  We have eaten at probably half of the restaurants, become frequent movie attenders, wandered through many stores, seen most of the natural beauty of Idaho that is within reasonable driving distance, been to every park, and we still have time to fill. One hard thing is that if you want to be alone, it has to be outside because you will never find a room or building that is not occupied.  That's right, all Brian and I do is make out. Be jealous. 
     Time for a spiritual moment.  So, Brian had a calling with a friend where they planned weekly activities and had a nondenominational church service on Sunday with boys at the ARTEC Juvenile Detention Center.  They had the calling with an older couple; the wife is a certified marriage and family counselor, has written a couple books, and gave a devotional at BYU-I.  Brain and I have listened to the devotional and it is excellent!  It is a little long but I highly reccoment listening to it! I will post a link to it at the bottom.
     Anywho, I just want you all to know that I miss you so much and I can't wait for the family vacation. I seriously love you all more than you will ever know!

ski trip by:Dylan Seibold

well hello everybody this is Dylan reporting in on the ski trip up north. well first I'd like talk about the trip up we had fun wathing pirates of the carribean and jack's pointless talking that furthed my headache and we also watched I Am Legend which is the scariest movie I've ever seen. Now to the skiing after getting up and eating breakfast and getting everything together we left for nubs nob. On our way we had to stop for medicine and the woman at the counter decided to help us with our legacy and take forever so we ended up being late how ironic. Now tthat were actually at the hill we decided to start with just hitting the regular slopes and going in the back of the hill and then later we decided to go to the terrain park and Kody not having skiing in 4 years pulls of a 360 on his 3rd jump and how he amazed us with his superb tricks and his amazingness and after we went in the back and played tag and one of the chair lifts up after a race tanner not thinking at all says Kody if you jump off ill do it to and knowing Kody he did it and on the perfect part and tanner jumps way to late and misses the landing and hits on flat ground and totally collapses and his skis also pop off. So after that we go to the front and there's this little part where to runs meet and one's a little higher than the other and Kody goes and 360's it and were having no idea how he got so much speed to do that and that about concludes our 1st day. Now for the 2nd day Kody and I start out hitting little jumps so I can later progress to the bigger stuff. then I meet a friend and we hang out and go do stuff on the terrain park and then as we go back up the chair lift we heard kody attempted a backflip and didn't make it but he was still fine and he tried again only to be a little bit closer than before but for now he decides to stop and we go in for lunch. after lunch we go in the back area and play tag where two people start out it and if they tag you you go on their team and tanner ends up winning it all and after that we decided to play with only one ski which is very difficult. and after that me and Kody go to the terrain park one more time and he attemps a backflip one more time and he is so close it's not even funny and that's our ski trip

Well, I was recently forced to write on this blog even though I have better things to do in my time, HaHa. That and I have nothing better to do in my spare time so i though i might just come on here and enlighten you all on whats going on in my life. And if your wondering why im using dad's account and not one i created let me tell you. I told google that I was 200 hundred years old and they still won't let me create an account due to the fact that "I'm too young". Something tells me they can tell when your lying... Anyways, I have made the JV Lacrosse team and i am on the starting line. We are 2-0 in our season and we beat Rochester Adams so everythings good with me. We will have three games this coming week and I can't wait to see how they turn out. Kody recently left to go to college and to finish getting the knowledge that he was left out on several years previous. Dylan has been crying his eyes out non-stop thanks to him. If you ask me, you should all move to Michigan to comfort Dylan in his time of terrible depression.

YAY 4 MARCH!!!

WOW! the acronym for World of Warcraft, MoM spelled upside down, and the exclamation coming from my mouth, glad that it is over! This has been the second longest month of my life, right behind January of this year, I think I lost two years of my life going through these two months.

So, Here is the dill-e-o my peeps! Teaching is amazing! can't say enough about it, but I am going to stop there and let you all think about the rest of what I was going to say. So, I secured a house for myself for the next 1.5 years, and it is a lovely home with many bedrooms so, if we want to do Christmas out here this year, I have the space! Ummm, my newest friend is a rabbit, named bunny. He likes it when you massage his cheeks and he enjoys smarties, carrots, and grandma's pillows. He was free and that is about it.

I took second place in my ward's "MR. 21st WARD" contest. For my talent portion I re-enacted the dilophosorous stalking his prey, the relief society president being the target. HUGE CROWD PLEASER! It was a real honor to achieve something so wonderful! Almost as good as winning my second-grade spelling bee. . . .but alas, I digress.

Miss you all and love you even more! Take care of yourselves and to your pride and wool be true!

Savannah's Blessing day!

We had a blast yesterday sharing Savannah's blessing day and our first anniversary with so many friends and family. It was a special day and we appreciate those of you who could come be a part of it with us. We missed all the rest of you and look forward to seeing you in the not too distant future, we hope. We're excited to see Kerry and Jaxon very soon!! Savannah hasn't gotten to meet any boy cousins yet!
We wanted to share some pictures from her special day with you. There's lots more but this was all I was able to put on here.

We love you all and hope everything's going well for you! Are you in your last trimester now, Chel? You're getting down to the wire. Emma will be here before you know it! Hang in there, and just remember, it's all worth it.

Take care and have a good week.
