A little vampire love!

Well after our little dentist issue, I was feeling really bad. I didn't want to be the patients that the staff draws straws everytime we go into the office to see who HAS to help us . So I took in a little treat to the office. With it being so close to Halloween and with our little vampire drawing blood. I got a big tray or cinnamon rolls and found these cute gummy fangs. I put them a big tray with a note that says " Now you can sink your teeth into something too!" When I took it in to the office it was a big hit. From all my years of working at a doctors office I have learned a few things. A little treat never hurts and don't make the receptionist mad at you. I hope we are now back in good graces.

My little Reneesmee!!

Well today was my kids first time at the dentist. We don't have dental insurance so I have been putting it off and off and off. Karden did so good, He sat nicely for the xrays, cleaning and when the dentist checked his teeth he was an angel. I was silently gloating about how well behaved my kids were. This is cake I was thinking when the sweet assistant Erica said it was Whitleys turn. She had me hold Whitley on My lap when she tried to do Whitleys Xrays. This was not happening!! There were no tears just a clenched jaw. Erica tried everything to get Whitley to open her mouth. - Can you Sing like a princess- Through clenched teeth Whitley is humming the tune to ABC'S. Growl like a tiger, bite this cracker- Nothing works. Erica gives up and says she is not even two. We'll be fine without xrays. This is the point that I should have taken my angel boy and clenched jaw princess to the car. But No I decide to follow Erica to the chair and she is going to clean whitleys teeth. We get Whitley in the chair and decide to try to put headphones on her so she can watch "Cars" on the ceiling. The whimpering begins, She gets out the toothpaste and Whitley is trying to escape the chair of doom!! I hold her hands down and Erica starts cleaning away. The wailing begins, followed by the kicking, streaming, thrashing and last but not least the biting. Ouch says Erica. She bit me a good one. We both laugh. She's had her rabies shots I say jokingly. We finish the cleaning. I happen to look at Ericas glove and notice that red liquid is filling the tip of one finger. I at first think it is just the pink toothpaste but upon further evaluation I see it is blood. Whitley Brought Blood with one Bite. I say to Erica are you bleeding? She says no one has ever brought blood before, and they she looks at her hand and adds "Until today" I am mortified. My daughter just bit someone hard enough to bring blood. As I am scanning the room to find the closest exit. the Dentist comes in to do a exam. She is fine until hand is in mouth and than the excorsist baby appears again. The doctor finishes the exam and says all is well and laughs and says she may be the strongest one year old I have examined. I don't think that was a compliment. I gather are things and head to the exit. I stop to pay on the way out and the receptionist says see you in 6 months. Okay I say As I am now running to the exit. i"m no thinking Hopefully Ericas finger has healed by them. As we walk out the door I look down to see Whitley waving and blowing Kisses to the receptionist. What a morning!!

Out of the mouth of Babes!!

Well its been a long time, we ended up getting a virus on our computer from a storm trooper pumpkin carving pattern Ryan downloaded for Kardens pumpkin. We have been without a fully functioning computer for 3 weeks. I'm going insane and ebay and Ksl are both going broke without me!! :) We still haven't picked up our computer from the computer tech that is fixing it so I begged ryan to set up his work laptop!! I'm Spoiled I know- I thought I would tell You some funny Kardenism's since I can't post pictures or anything.

Karden to Grandma Linda after seeing a bottle of pickle relish in her fridge. He ran to her with a horrified look on his face and said " Grandma come quick, Your pickles have melted!"

A few weeks ago we attended a baby blessing for one of our friends babies. a few days later We were all in the truck on our way to Provo. When karden kept asking Ryan if he remembered when he put a "spell on me" . Karden was very adament and we were very confused. All through Costco he kept telling Ryan "Did you put a spell on me" We were totally bewildered and thinking what is this kid learning in preschool, when Karden said only dadies put spells on babies! He was talking about a blessing. We had a good laugh.

Last halloween we were being " The wizard of oz " for halloween. Ryan was the Lion, I was the scarecrow, Karden was the Tin Man and Whitley was Dorothy. Karden was in the back seat and was trying to sleep, Whitley was 11 months old and not tired and kept grabbing his shirt. Karden finally had enough when he snapped and said " Whitley! If your pinch my shirt one more time you WILL NOT BE DORTHY!!" Oh the things that are SO important to you when you are little!!!


Hopefully soon I will have my real computer back and will have pictures of the fun stuff we have been doing.

HONEYMOONING!!

Well last weekend Ryan and I had the chance to go to a bed and breakfast up in Midway. It was called the Johnson Mill. It was really pretty. The view from our room was of a pond that housed swans and beautiful gardens. I would love to go up there to take family pics. We went to dinner in Heber and just relaxed. We even slept in until 9:00 am. That is unheard of in my household of early risers!! It was heaven. The next morning we had a tasty but uncomfortable breakfast with everyone that stayed at the Inn the night before. This was a tad bit weird when all the guests are our parents age and the people above us were a bit loud!! (wink, wink,gross!!) We headed up to Park City to do some shopping at the Outlets were we found some great deals at the gap and childrens place. The kids got some cute things, Ryan and I left without anything for us. We ran a few errands on the way home and were surprised how fast things are done without unbuckling car seats and a dozen potty breaks. It was a fun overnighter to actually just talk and be a couple.

Thanks mom and dad for getting new windows and the gift certificate and not wanting to use it. Thanks Tara and Jeremy for not being able to go and thanks Barbara for watching our kids for the night. We love you all!!
