Life Comes At You Fast

Hey! Things are still crazy here at the Brett Moore house. We've had an interesting couple of weeks. Treyton received a Blue Ribbon at the State Fair, but we haven't heard where he placed over-all. The judge checked off "Excellent" in every category and gave him very positive comments, but didn't let him know what to improve so he could do better next year. We asked our local leaders to try to find out where he placed over-all, so we could at least know how much improvement he needs in order to compete better next year.

Two weeks ago Brenlon jammed his left thumb while tackling someone in football practice. He kept it taped, and the coaches didn't let him play as much so it could heal up. A week later he hurt the same thumb when someone tackled him during practice. This time it seemed worse, so I took him in to the ER for x-rays. 4 1/2 hour later we found out that it was fractured. The doctor put him in a half-cast, told us to take him to the Orthopedic Surgeon in a week, and told him that he couldn't play football till then. Brenlon was pretty bummed, till the doctor told him that if he played and hurt it again it would probably need surgery. We saw the Orthopedic Surgeon yesterday. The fracture isn't too bad. It is through the growth plate, but he didn't think it would cause him any problems. It wasn't displaced at all. He put a cast on it and said he could even keep playing football if he padded the cast and didn't do anything stupid. He'll be in the cast for about 5 weeks. Brenlon's coaches are glad he's back. They want to try him as quarter back, but I'm not sure that will work too well with the cast.

Treyton is amazing on the football field this year. He is really loving it, and very aggressive out there. He is on the starting team. He plays the entire game on defense, and more than half the game on offense. The coaches are just amazed at the changes and improvements he's made since last year. In his last game, he made several great tackles, and even recovered one of the other team's fumbles. He's really fun to watch. I've been calling him "Rudy".

Kierra gave us our last bit of excitement. Sunday morning she came into my room and she had cut her own hair--all of it, except for a little mullet that she couldn't reach in the back. I couldn't believe it. We were growing her hair out to donate like Kindra had. She only had about a half an inch to go. Apparently she was tired of waiting! She now looks like our 5th boy. We keep getting her mixed up with Landon, as does everyone else. She looks like a totally different person. I had to give her a "Boy Haircut" to try to fix it. She left just enough up on top to do a comb-over and hide most of what she scalped.

That's been our excitement that last couple of weeks. Otherwise, we are doing good. Jayden is enjoying Select Soccer. He is getting a lot of playing time, which is great for being one of the youngest on the team. Treyton and Brenlon's team is playing really well. Their last game, they beat Imbler 52-24. We are all doing good. We sure love hearing what's new with all of you. Take Care!
