Things just got a little SHINIER for Kendalyn...

She got BRACES!!  I can't believe it!  Well, actually, I can if I take a look at those teeth (poor girl has my genes), but she just keeps getting older and older.  She got them on yesterday and has a super sore mouth.  Anyone who has had braces knows that dull, ache that I am talking about - it stinks! 
I still think she looks super cute, but of course I am biased and at least she has cute hair and not a "mushroom" cut like I had during the braces phase - (I still think my mom was super mean to do that to me:). 
Apparently, it is super cool to get braces in the 3rd grade, so Kendalyn has some serious status right now - which totally cracks me up - so hopefully the "metal-mouth", "brace-face" names aren't cool right now.
Enjoy the action shots!!
A "before" shot!

Almost ready to go..

A really funny "during" - poor thing!

Dr. Brown - he's actually our Stake Pres. too.

All done - let the FUN begin!!

Braces just run in this family, sad to say!! It doesn't seem like she should be old enough for them, but then age and braces~~there's no specific time!! She still looks darling.

I saw her walking home from school yesterday and got a live peek of how cool they are.
She's a beauty.

So not fun. I lost ten pounds when I got braces put on because my teeth hurt too much to eat anything. Now I need braces again--ugh! Maybe I'll lost 10 pounds again, though--that wouldn't be all bad:)
