Dentist Appointment

Pyper had her very first dentist visit today. I really love our dentist, he does such a great job with my kids, and always seems to alleviate MOM'S fears as well! (I hate to watch my kids have that sort of thing done!) The assistants all had to come and see her cute hair, and tell her how much they loved her outfit. She, of course, thought this was the BEST!! She is a hambone who just loves attention--especially when someone is telling her she is cute! Here are some photos of her visit...

Here is Pyper outside the dentist office!

Playing in the little cubby while we waited.

Sitting in the "big" chair with Icky the frog who came along so she wasn't "carwed." Mom got to sit in the little chair, she thought that was funny!

Brushing with Dr. Larsen an her new princess toothbrush. She even got a new ring and an apple! (She chose that over a cookie. Yep, a cookie from the dentist, I think it is job security for them to hand out cookies!)

Isn't it amazing...

...what can happen when you read the owners manual, set the camera at the correct setting, and drink less caffeine?

*I really like the one of the vine and the one of the tulip. They are my faves!

I need a tripod!

I have these really pretty flowers in my front yard. They are pretty unique, so I decided to see if I could get a picture of them to practice my budding photography skills. Here are the BEST results from my shoot!

Um, this is with the "image stabilization" feature on my camera turned ON! Yep, this has taught me a very important lesson...I NEED A TRIPOD!!! (Or less caffeine, but that is no fun!)

My Hubby is so nice...

He was in Moab a couple of weeks ago, and called to tell me that he had bought me a present at the Art Show he was at. He gave it to me this weekend. It was this fun bracelet that has frogs on it. I LOVE IT!! He always finds me fun, unique, handmade jewelry. It is nice to know that he misses me when he is gone, and hey, what girl doesn't like to get spoiled a little by new jewelry every once in a while?!? Thanks David, I really do love it! (Oh, I love you also!!)

Our Road Trip...

We had a great time in Nevada at the Art Show. We made it to Wendover on Friday, and stayed at the Super 8. I let them jump on the beds, we ordered pizza, and had a cartoon party.

We took off the next morning and made it to Minden which is just outside of Carson City. The kids had a fun weekend playing in the water and on the inflatables. (I left my camera at the hotel, so I didn't get any pics of that, sorry!) It was warm and sunny all weekend, but not too hot yet!

We had to stop on the way home so that Hannah could write her name with rocks on the side of the road, she had been begging us the entire trip--BOTH WAYS! So, if you want to see their names, they are at the rest stop on I-80 that is just past the turn off for the Bonneville speedway! (Or you could just look at the photos!) I got the "Good Mom Of The Year" award because I stood out in the rain while I waited for Hannah to finish her HUGE name so I could take a photo!

We all had a fun trip, it was great to be with our Dad, and our butts all survived--we had to be jackhammered off our seats though!

Seth's Last Soccer Game

This was Seth's last soccer game. It was the only one that they lost 3-2. I was hoping that they would just call the game early, it was SO cold and rainy! Grandma Charlene, Lyra, Pyper, and I braved the elements and cheered him on! He did an awesome job--he has some sweet soccer skills!

Street Program

Ok, today is a HUGE posting catch up day! I don't want to hear from the peanut gallery that they don't have anything new to read for a few days!!

On the 20th of May, the kidlets had their school program. Every year they do a program in the street in front of the school where they sing songs and do dances that they have learned that year. After consulting my children, I can tell you all the songs they sang! Bugga's class sang the "Hula Hoop Hokey Pokey," Seth sang "Rubber Ducky" and danced the Hustle, and Hannah (not happily might I add) sang "Eight Days A Week' and danced the Jitterbug. I thought they did a good job,it was fun to watch them!
