Mustache...

VOTE


For Tom Dolan!
Ha ha ha...Tom Dolan is the mayor of Sandy...he looks like the monopoly man, and loves it! He is campaigning and part of his campaign is focusing on his monopoly man mustache. He was handing out temporary tattoo mustaches at the 4th of July festivities in Sandy, so while Josh was there for work, he grabbed one for Bridger...isn't that kind of him?! He conned Bridger into putting it on, but trust me, Bridger did not like it! We'd ask him how his mustache was doing and he's say, "Not good, it's stupid!". After they put it on, we then went to the Gardens at Thanksgiving Point (that was planned before the mustache) and boy did Bridger get some looks! Some people would laugh and say "nice mustache", other people would just stare, little kids would look and then tell their moms/dads what they saw. Poor Bridger...everyone was laughing at his expense!

The gardens were beautiful as always! We took this picture of Kenna on the grass(she hated the grass, note the annoyed look on her face!)...she's getting better at sitting up, but still doesn't stay up for long.

On another note, I had a CT Scan on my ear yesterday and found out I have to have surgery on it on July 17th. Not too excited about it, but at least we found it now. It's a growth called cholesteatoma (basically a benign tumor), and it has already eaten through my ossicle bones in my ear (responsible for hearing), so my hearing is bad. It will still be bad after surgery, but eventually they will go in and do an artificial bone graft to repair it. It's about a 5 hour surgery, so kind of long, due to the delicate procedure. They will go in, remove some of the mastoid bone, as well as the growth and then depending on what they find, they may have to restructure some of my ear canal. Some of you know that I am not new to the surgery thing...already had 13 surgeries, but that doesn't make it any easier. I am doing okay with it now, still not thrilled about it, but grateful they can fix things before it eats through more bone, etc. Anyway, I am posting all of this mostly so I can have it "journaled"...as I know this is just something to get through. We'll let you know how it goes once I am up and about after it's done!

Bridger is sooo funny. I miss him in primary (even though I have been released). He says the funniest things and is so smart!

I'm so sorry to hear about your ear. I hope everything is going to be okay.
