First dentist visit

I forgot my camera. So crappy cell pics will have to do. Kaylee was a total rock star. She blew me away. They hygienist was shocked that this was Kaylee's first visit. She really did SO well. She was super cooperative, followed directions, and asked lots of great questions. She is already asking when she can go back.

0918131011(1) Regan was not a rock star….. He was fine watching me and then Kaylee. He asked questions and was happy. And then it was his turn. "No fanks. I ready to go home now! It's not my turn. We all done!"  And then I went from Mama, to pin down specialist. I worked up a good sweat. And we all learned that Regan has a very strong gag reflex. No actual puke, but lots of gagging. IMG_2758

I asked Regan when we got home and my arms were no longer his restraints what he thought of the dentist.  And then I took this photo. Sums up his feelings quite nicely.

 

Meanwhile both the children seem to have my teeth and gums. Everything is coming in nice and straight, good bite, healthy gums, no cavities. YEA! I count our first family visit to the dentist a success as I was expecting both kiddos to freak out.

Eye doc

 Kaylee had her very first visit with the eye doctor. She loved it. The Dr. and staff were awesome, and we all had fun. Regan and I were surprisingly entertained watching her exam. They were very thorough and she had her eyes dilated. 0917131602(1) 0917131711027She got to sport these rockin' shade for a couple hours. And she was a crack up that evening doing her homework. She was insistent that she needed to do it that night, and not the next day before school. She couldn't decided if she needed to have her face close to or far from the paper. And it was crazy sloppy. I sent a note to her teacher. Oh, and her eyes are perfect. So, yea!

Grandma and Grandpa visit

Grandma and Grandpa came down for a few days to visit and go to a family friends wedding reception.

Joel saved our butts, and was ever helpful around the house. I am not allowed to use the lawn edger (some such nonsense about me losing toes….), and Jon in his current state cannot do the job either. SO best father-in-law ever knocked out this sweaty chore for us. The lawn looks SO much better now.

He also was our third driver/tier filler upper. Punk kids deflated a couple of the vans tiers, and that popped out a nail from one of them. So Joel filled them up and followed Jon to the tire shop to get the hole fixed, took Jon to work, came back over to the house, finished edging, waited for me to get back from taking Kaylee to school, then went with me to pick up the van and take it Jon so he would have a car to drive home so I wouldn't have to worry about picking him up after work. Longest winded sentence ever.
