Spring Break

We are counting down the days till Spring Break. We are really looking forward to going to Idaho for Spring Break. We cant wait to see Jason and our families. 12 days left!

Dentist

This morning I took the girls in to get their teeth cleaned and check for cavities. It was Lindsay's first dentist appointment, they had explained to me that when the dentist comes in to look at her teeth that I will need to hold her on my lap facing me and then have her lean back and hold her arms while the dentist looks. About the same time that the assistant was explaining all this to me, Lindsay crawled out of my lap and climbed up and plopped down in the big chair and gave us a big smile... I still planned on holding her in my lap when the dentist did come in, But it ended up I didnt need too, they reclined the chair and the whole time she just had a huge smile on her face and opened right up for the dentist. I warned the dentist that she bites my fingers while I am trying to brush her teeth all the time. But OF COURSE she didnt even try to bite the dentist (dont get me wrong I was relieved but what a stinker....) When she was all done she got to go pick out a book.
Oh yeah and No Cavities for any of my kiddos wahoo!

I videoed this yesterday for my parents. Feel free to watch it if you want.

Seaside August 2009

We are lucky to have the ocean right here close to us, we dont take advantage of it nearly as much as we should.... We always have a great time when we go there. We decided to go to Seaside this time, and for the first time we decided to rent one of those bike bus things... It was way hard to pedal with all that weight on it, but I am sure it was a memory that the kids will never forget. We also got about 10 pounds of salt water taffy I think. We had a great time.


Lindsay loved playing with Ashlynn.

She has also has got to the point where she thinks it is fun to run away from Mom and Dad.

And Last but not least ( I am fianlly caught up with all my pictures and posts) I told my Mom I would take some pictures of my little water baby... Our pool opened last weekend and Lindsay has gone swimming a few times already. She loves it.

Isnt that COZY?

We having been unsuccesfully trying to get Lindsay to fall asleep on her own (which means her screaming a horrifying scream) the other day when she finally quieted down this is what I found when I checked on her.... :(
Of course I helped her lay down in a more comfortable way (after I took some pictures)

Zoo (again)
