Wisdom?



 Today was the day for Travis to have all four of his Wisdom teeth pulled.He was very courageous and relieved that it is over and done.Now he is counting down the days to leave on April 22 for Utah and his new adventure as a Missionary.I thought this would be a good page in the Family journal to remember his final days at home...here are some facts about wisdom teeth,
They are generally thought to be called wisdom teeth because they appear so late—much later than the other teeth, at an age where people are presumably "wiser" than as a child, when the other teeth erupt. The English wisdom tooth is derived from Latin dens sapientiae.


I made meatloaf,macaroni and cheese and chocolate cupcakes with chocolate frosting,
hoping he remembers the comfort food and not the "WISDOM"

  1. Is this a second son going out? He is so handsome! I was just told by a dentist that mine are all still in there..I'm not going to do anything about it either, just keep an eye on them. So where has he been called to? You must be an awfully proud mom, I know I would be! Have a great conf. weekend and come say hi :D

  2. I know people who have had their wisdom teeth removed and are nowhere NEAR wise...but Travis has wisdom written all over him.

    Hope he doesn't suffer too much pain; your comfort food sounds like just the thing for recovery. And I hope his last days with the family are happy, peaceful, and full of wisdom.

  13. Brandi you are one heck of a mama & Travis will always remember your love and devotion to all your family. I must hide this post from my two that need their wisdom teeth pulled, they'll be taking notes. What a great post and sending Travis lots of encouragement and well wishes for the next exciting phase in his young life. You've done good mother (& he's handsome to boot). Hope you all are doing fabulous?
