An apple a day keeps the Dentist away!

Friday was Ashley's first trip to the dentist. She has been anxiously awaiting this appointment. She saw Levi, Myles, and Elle climb into the big chair that can move and she wanted her turn. She even told a lady at the store the day before "I'm going to the dentist tonight!"
Levi and I also had appointments scheduled, and they took us first. So poor Ashley had to wait until we were done to get into "the big chair". Finally the moment arrived and she jumped into that chair and sat right down, and did everything the assistant and the doctor told her to do. Since all the appointments took so long, they opted not to take "pictures" this time around. Ashley was beginning to get restless. Here are a few pics of Ashley with the dental assistant and her dentist Dr. Laurie La Dow!

I AM SO PROUD OF MY BABY JEAN!!!!! This is the best post yet! (I'm not biased, lol) You're a good mom Kim. It's always harder to make
"1st's" a big deal for the latter children. I can't wait to ask her ALL about her special trip!

Honestly Jessica, I posted this with you in mind!! Thanks for the compliment, you are right though about the 1st's thing, I am trying though. She would love to tell you all about it too!
Carly~ Aren't they great? I have gone to them since Levi was three and had his first appointment. I've heard horror stories from other moms that their kids hate the dentist, but because of our dentist, my kids look for their appointment on the calendar!

Kendra~ thanks, can't say that she looks anything like me though!

Stacie~ I think she was more brave than many adults I've seen. She couldn't wait for the dentist look in her mouth, as soon as she got in the chair she opened her mouth!

Life in the Real World!

Let me preface everything I am about to say by saying, I have the most wonderful, intelligent, beautiful, talented children ever created! (now I've lost you because your thinking, she's wrong, I do, your right, you do too!) So why is it that they can also be the complete opposite(at times)? Why do I have to tell the same child everyday to not bring a blanket to the table. I tell them "Please get dressed before you come eat." Apparently, it is much easier to wrap oneself in a blanket and then have to fish your hands out to eat! Why does my child who can remember things from infancy(seems that way anyhow) have to be reminded every morning to "Please brush your teeth"? Why does my child, who can't stand for anyone to touch their belongings, think it is ok for them to get into my purse everyday and chew my gum, use my chapstick, and eat any mints that might be left from the previous days' rampage? How is it that my child, who thinks the world is their ca...

"Train up a child"

This is not just a cliche, it is scripture. And it may very well be one of the most used scriptures. On Tuesday night, my boys participated in their very first communion and foot washing service. Some may think they are too young and don't understand the symbolism, and that may be true, but being that they both have the Holy Ghost and have been baptized, I thought it was time for them to take part. I explained to them what would happen and the reasoning behind it. I also asked them to examine their hearts to make sure they were heaven ready. They both seemed to understand and they both expressed desire to follow through. It was all going well until Ashley realized they had something in their hand that she didn't. She asked me what it was, and I told her. Here is how the conversation went.. Ashley: "I want grape juice too!" Me: "Well, honey you are still too young." Ashley: "Why I too young?" Me: "It's for after you get the Holy Ghost and ...
