Dr. Heidi Bell D.D.S

Heidi had her first successful trip to the dentist today. When I say first successful trip, I mean she's been there before and it didn't go so well. She wouldn't let anyone lay a single finger on her. Today was different. She didn't even bat an eyelash. She got up on the chair, let them brush, floss, scrape, and she even did flouride trays. All of it was no big deal to her. She seemed to enjoy it.

The funny thing is that for the last couple of months whenever I ask Kyla what she wants to be when she grow up her standard answer is "a rock star." Heidi's is "a dentist." I don't know where the dentist thing came from.

This dentist gave out a lot of loot. Toys, chapstick, princess flossers, stickers, A LOT OF STUFF. Heidi was most into the regular old dental floss and the pretend mirror they gaver her to play dentist with.

 

She's been flossing since we got home.

These two are hilarious.

Update on Kyla's "gray tooth" It's fine, we need to continue to watch it and it will fall out on schedule between the ages of six and eight.

Quad-ruple the fun!

We played a bit with this fun new toy over at Enzo's this weekend.

It was a hit. So much fun. The kids LOVED it.

Everyone took a turn or two (with an adult of course).

Then it was my turn! I was pretty excited and handed

my camera over...sure these would be funny pictures.

Here I am getting my instructions....brake....gas...got it.

This is as funny as its gonna get....it ran out of gas right as I was about to take off.

Until next time.

Amy can I ride Symantha's quad when we go to Cle Elum? :)

Jake's Big Music Show

At least that is what Kyla called it..."Jake's Big Music Show." This afternoon, after stopping off at Kits to purchase my new lens (so excited...I LOVE IT), Kyla and I headed to Jake's (my brother) piano recital. Kyla was a trooper. The concert lasted an hour and a half with no breaks. She was very quite but NOT very still. I'm pretty sure she enjoyed it though. Once and a while she would lean over and whisper a comment about the performance in my ear.

Kyla and her Uncle

Kyla and my dad

The biggest thrill, a surprise to us, one of Jake's fellow piano students happens to be the reigning Miss Washington herself, crown and all. You can image a Kyla's delight when she found out a real princess was to perform her special talent. She was really quite good and did this very piece in the Miss USA pageant. Shout out to tinaming99...she reminded me of you- she did. If we were willing to sit through another hour of awards and wait in line Kyla could have had her picture taken with Miss W...but we couldn't have sat in those chairs another minute.

The Sale

Day one of the garage sale was a success. It stayed pretty busy despite the rainy deary weather and Chels, Amy, Sara, and I had fun.  About half our junk is gone and hopefully the rest will be tomorrow.

Anybody want a double stroller?

I think this is Chelsea holding up how much dollars she had made so far.

Notice how everone is warmly dressed. It was a pretty cold day.

That didn't stop Heidi from wearing this the ENTIRE day.

She came downstairs this morning wearing this....and is still wearing it now.

She even did a little garage hanging out in it.

She wanted to sleep in the shoes last night.

Garage sales make me kind of tired.

Petals

On a lighter note...

I've been getting crafty again.

I copied this fabric flower design off of Chelsea's friend Emily.

It was very easy and involved burning the fabric...scary.

Anyways I made these little tanks for

Kyla, Heidi, and Pearson

to wear with coordinating tutus to a wedding.

Turned out pretty cute.

Don't think we'll be able to wash them though.

In case you haven't noticed I am LOVING this whole flower on all your clothes and accessories trend.

Speaking of petals....

This is my new favorite food.

I've been eating like two a week.

Heidi likes them too.

A Plan

I truly believe that God has a plan and a purpose for everything. Although, sometimes we can't always see it or understand it- it's there. And sometimes He doesn't answer us in the way we think is best or fair or right but he does have a plan and a purpose for everything. I believe that.

Sometimes He does answer our prayers in the way that we had hoped.  Read my sister-in-law Chelsea's post titled Miracle. She's puts things much better than I do.
