In the jungle....

Riley had her first visit to "the jungle" a few days ago. Believe it or not, "the jungle" is actually some genious' idea for a pediatric dentist!!






While she wouldn't actually sit or lay back in the chair, cautious little Riley actually DID open her mouth, and let the hygenist look at, poke and brush her teeth.



The report was awesome- no cavities! When we left, Riley proudly announced to me that she went to the dentist like a big girl, but that she didn't think she'd be going back......wonder where she gets that from?



....obviously Karsyn likes the dentist WAY more than we do!!

Cousins

Now that's what I'm talking about!! This is what I had hoped for when I couldn't wait to move back here from Des Moines. I wanted so badly for my kids to see more of their grandparents, aunts and uncles, and most of all- be close to their cousins!! We had a family February Birthday brunch, and the kiddos are all getting to be the perfect ages to have a blast together. There was some dancing in Riley's room, a little bit of jumping on the bed, some fighting over toys, Riley trapping Brecken in her room so she couldn't "escape", and best of all.....lots of laughs! Now that's what I'm talking about!!

Sleepy Monkeys

I love these days when we are in no rush to get up, get dressed, or hurry out the door. The girls will come in and snuggle with me in my bed for at least 5 seconds before they are ready to get up and get to work (messing up the house, that is). This morning in particular, they were in their soft, cozy monkey jamas, and looking as cute as ever!!

Rock Star

If you can't hear the music, just imagine a Led Zepplin-ish tune coming from the Learning Chair....
