Treasure Teeth One Year Anniversary - ALOHA!

Derren's business, Treasured Teeth has been open 1 year this last September! To celebrate we held a luau for some of the people in our area who have helped build up Derren's business.

We made a real Imu (pit to roast a pit) and yes, had a whole pig butchered.

We had professional Polynesian performers,

and served real Polynesian food.

Plus, I made a super yummy pina colada cake. I know it's not Hawaiian, but it was was tasty!

Everything turned out perfectly thanks to the help we had from my mom, little sisters, little brother, and cute little teeny-tiny neices! Thanks guys for saving us!

My new hair cut...

All kids cut their hair at some point or another, all kids but Levi. Levi decided it would be more fun cutting my hair! The little stinker ran up behind me while I was sitting on the floor and quickly snipped the scissors shut. It's a good thing my hair is layered and his grip on my hair wasn't that big, or I might have been a little upset.

September 2009

As usual, we have been busy. Here are a few high-lights from September.

After living in our house and walking on a lawn full of thistles for four months we felt like it was time to have some grass. Both Levi and Chin Chin love it!



Mommy got to have a break this month. I went to Time Out for Women up in Logan, UT. Poor Josalyn got the flu again while we were visiting at Mom's house.

"Sheesh!"


Chin Chin took her first trip to the groomers, and we couldn't stop giggling about how cute she looked!

Later in the month we drove down to the Denver area for Uncle Ben and (now) Aunt Sarai's wedding. As an extra treat for the kids we visited the Denver Zoo with Grandma Tippets.

The kids were quite stylish at the zoo as the donned cute little hats.


Levi LOVED the monkeys! He went right up to the gorilla behind the glass, bent over with his little muscles flexed and growled out, "Hulk SMASH MONKEY!!!!" This kid is all boy! And yes, I know the monkey in the picture is not a gorilla. I was laughing to hard to get a good picture of the gorilla.

The biggest event of the month was Uncle Ben and Aunt Sarai's wedding. Sarai looked beautiful, Ben looked handsome, and everyone had a great time. We are all SO excited that Sarai is a part of our family now. Good job Uncle Benny!

Sarai's hair was gorgeous!


The Cox side of the family.
The Rayback side of the family.
The kids found their own ways to stay entertained during family picture time. Thank goodness the reception location had a great lawn out back.

And then...we danced the night away. Little Levi stole the show when he had a circle formed around him and had everyone clapping as he wiggled his little booty!
I had to make sure this picture was added.Grandpa and Grandma are such an inspiration and example of how good a marraige can be.



Grandpa Rayback and Adele.

Whew! What a month!
