WARNING: DUE TO ITS GRAPHIC NATURE...

This one is not for the faint of heart...Keaton has officially had his first ER visit due to blood. I was on my way home from work and got a call from a calm Travis...with the hint of OMG, to inform me Keaton had been "flying" and smacked his chin which led to biting completely through his tongue. There is no 'for dramatic effect' here, there were clean holes on the bottom as well. This tough little guy never even shed a tear. There's a blue towel that looks like it cleaned up after a homicide, but no tears shed. His dad, who might I add is the BEST dad ever, packed him up and took him to the ER. We know there isn't much that can be done with tongue's but...I've been in the dental field a LONG time now and never have I seen one that went all the way through. I offered to go (I was barely hanging on to conciousness by the way) but thanked my lucky stars when Travis said ,"no I've got it." Never have I been so thankful. I really wanted to pass out or puke, had I gone it probably would have been both.
This doesn't really do it justice. In real life it looks like that part of his tongue is about to fall off. Poor little guy...he better not use this as yet another excuse not to talk.

Fun Family Get Togethers

Grandma Bev and Grandpa Kelly come over Christmas Night and we have fun and festive finger foods. They brought Grandma Brand and for some reason every picture I had of her had someone standing right in front of her and you couldn't see her.
Little cousin Austin runs around so fast there were very few pictures of him-but here he's not a blur. Chase admiring his football...do you see a trend with these boys??
Fox Family annual Christmas Eve Dinner. Louise always has a camera in her hand. Nick brought a GIRL, Crystal, for the very first time. I hope our chaos didn't scare her away.

This is one of Keatons favorite peole in the whole world.

Ms. Rachel, I like to live vicariously through her and her appreciation for girly things.

Well hello there Grandpa Ray! I hope that's your vino and not Bryce's.

Pardon the repeat-now that I published and looked back through I notice this is posted twice and my technical skills can not figure out how to remove this one so...isn't she lovely-again????

Look at that sweet smile. He's really saying "get on with it Aunt Suzie I want to open my loot!" Kyle wouldn't say that though because unlike my children he has enough manners to pose! Thank you.

Christmas Morning

Why is he pushing me? Why am I up so early? What's happening?
Oh...this is worth getting up early for.

Bryce wouldn't even look up-what a great Christmas!!

Our Fox Family Festivous...

Poor Gus, stuck on the outside looking in. He was stealing things so we had to lock him out. He just sat there watching us with those sad puppy dog eyes.
Surprise, surprise...a BSU jersey. Maybe someday a child somewhere will be hoping for a Fox jersey...

He had been waiting FOREVER to find out what was in this box. As he pointed out he didn't "ask for anything that would be in boxes like that". Not to worry little one...we know what you like.

A football...with plays written on it and a qb wristband with all the plays...to some big whoop-to Devon OMG!!! This was made for me!

What?!? A new cell phone-no way. My parents keep telling me there is no way thery are going to waste their money on a phone for a 12 year old!! His parents must have been hitting the bottle a little heavily!

With every tear there was a gasp that sounded like the sky was falling. I do mean every tear of the paper...

OOOHHHH BABY! This is for me!!! I don't know what is in this cardboard box but no one is telling me to "LEAVE IT ALONE!" or "DON'T TOUCH!" so it's gotta be mine!
