Dentist!

The kids went to the dentist a couple of days ago and it was Mikeys first time. I honestly thought it might scare him but he was a champ! The hygienist kept telling me how good my kids were. Something a Mamma never gets tired of hearing! The results were in and they both did great!

X-rays!







Getting ready

About a boy.....

My Mike turned three today. Amazing. Three years ago today, I sat in recovery thinking to myself, there is no way this baby boy is going to survive. He is too tiny. Too fragile. Too perfect for this life. He came to us with no warning two months too soon. I knew this baby was different. I knew from the time I got pregnant that there was something "off" with this one. The night he decided to make his entrance into this world I finally knew where all of those feelings were coming from. I thought this baby was just going to be here for a short time to teach me something I needed to learn. I didn't get to hold Mikey until he was almost 24 hours old. When the doctors came in to give me an update on him I couldn't believe the news. "he is perfect in every way" they said. "He just needs to gain some weight, then he'll be able to go home." That has been the story of Mikey's life for three years. He is perfect in every way, he just needs to keep growing! The time that followed after his birth was a blur. Looking back now I can't believe we survived it! We are so lucky to have this kid in our lives. He wakes up almost every night with growing pains and that tiny little 4 pounder is now a fond memory. He is a tall, loving, healthy, thriving little boy. I can't wait to see him as an older brother. We love you so much Mikey, Happy Birthday!

J dawgs

We had a pretty relaxed weekend. We had to do some things in Provo so Grace suggested we eat at the "special sauce place" We LOVE J Dawgs. They honestly have the best hot dogs in the world. I snapped a few pics!



Mike ate a pickle and I got the perfect pic :)

Disappearing act

Here's the thing. At my house, we have a TON of random things floating around. I have a neighbor who is so sweet and gives me a huge bag of Avon stuff every year. I have friends who give me old toys they no longer need. I like to shop and buy said random things. I often find these things in random places. Places they shouldn't be. I also have thing that are not so random. Like toothpaste. When I get a new tube of toothpaste out, I expect it to stay right where it belongs. Why should it ever leave the bathroom drawer? So you can imagine my dismay when I go to brush my teeth and it is nowhere to be found. This hasn't happened once or twice, we are talking every couple of days. So tonight I was fed up. "Grace! I'm sick of using spiderman toothpaste!! Where is mine!!" so I sent her on a hunt. Success!! Two brand new tubes were recovered. And there is a little less frustration in my night time routine.


Gracie getting ready for the hunt.

It's another.......

And more importantly, he is totally healthy. 22 weeks down, 18 to go.

Independence

This is what you get when you let Grace pick out her clothes.
