ANOTHER BUSY WEEK

So is it just me, or are the weeks just flying by? Last week started like all the other weeks. Dance and wrestling practice on Monday + FHE, so always a busy day. Tuesday I had signed up to help in both the kids classrooms and have parent-teacher conferences. So I had asked some people in our ward to watch Logan. We love them so much and all call them grandma and grandpa. If you told my kids they weren't really their grandparents they wouldn't believe you. Both kids are doing great in school. While Malarie struggles in some subjects she has always been good in reading. Her teacher just loves her. She told me when I came in that it was just going to be a brag session. When I went to Levi's teacher to meet with her I wasn't suprised for most of what she had to tell me. He is VERY smart but has trouble sometimes sitting still. He got all A's on the report card. She then told me she was going to ask me if she could do some AR testing with him in reading. She had about 5 kids who were above average readers who she wanted to test. She knew I would say yes so she did it a few days before. She told me that she has never had a student test as high as Levi did. He is almost at 2nd grade reading level at 5 years old! Wow was impressed, and told her that he obviously got his smarts from me! j/k (Actually it is from Dust)



So after all that good news I go to pick Logan up from Grandpa and Grandma. When I walked in he was asleep in grandpas arms. And grandma was almost in tears telling me how sorry she was. I said for what? She told me Logan fell outside and there was alot of blood. He wouldn't let her look in his mouth but she knew the bleeding was coming from there. So I looked in and knew he needed to go to the dr. So when we got to the dr. I had only seen the piece of skin that attatches the top lip to the gums was gone. I let him find the rest. He had a very bad gash at the very top of his gums and needed stitches. I don't know who it was harder on. Me or him. They had to give him about 15 shots right in all the sore spots to numb it. Then after I got him calmed down from that tramatic event he had to be pinned down again for the stitches. Luckily they put the ones in that dissolve. So it was a rough few hours at the doctor. He definately doesn't want to go back ANY time soon. The next day he was pretty swollen and sore. But now you wouldn't even know. I took these pictures 2 days after because he wouldn't let me get close to his lip for the first 2 days.


Since Dusty and our good friend Gerald are helping coach these little wrestlers, they wanted to call some extra practices to get the kids ready for 2 tournaments. One on Thursday and one on Saturday. Levi had practice on Tuesday and Wednesday too. I guess the extra practices paid off. He took first in his tournament on Thursday. Then Saturday he exceeded any expectations we had for him. He had 7 matches. 2 of those matches were forfeits.The kids wouldn't wrestle him. And the other 5 he pinned ALL of his apponents. He was AWESOME!! So he is undefeated as of now. He took 1st place in folk style and 1st place in free-style. We are so proud of him! He gets all his skills from me! j/k (Actually dust was a great wrestler)








During all this excitement,on Thursday I started bleeding again. So I had to go to the Dr. for another emergency ultrasound. Hey one good thing with being a high risk pregnancy is you get to see the baby ALL the time. Well not really any news we didn't know already. It was the placenta. And still a complete previa but maybe a 1/4 inch of it was migrating up. That was the reason for blood. Oh ya and we saw that Malarie and I are definately always going to be outnumbered! ONE LAST BOY FOR THE TUCKFIELDS!!! So I better just get used to these wrestling tournaments. I am sure my future has alot of them in it!




We had my mother-in law up for the weekend and she came with us to church. Malarie had a talk in primary, so she got to come in and watch her. Malarie made her grandma cry with her sweet talk. Here it is.



After she got done the primary president got up and said,"YES Malarie all moms would love to have a Malarie!" She does make my job as mom ALOT easier. So a week full of proud moments at our house!
