One cool dentist.

Do you remember the days when you were a kid and the dentist was an old guy and he was not very nice and defiantly scary to you. Not my dentist he is one cool guy, he is young and he has all the coolest latest technology. Dr Hamilton in provo if anyone needs a dentist, he is your man. Anyone who knows Brady, knows that the odds of him sitting still for the dentists are slim. Nick thought maybe I should call ahead and get some kind of sedative, because there was no way he would do it. well he sat in the chair was a big boy. Than they put those headsets in and we showed him the movie on the ceiling. They did xrays...

He just watched the show occasionally opening is mouth just in case someone needed him to.

They poked around his mouth and I will be honest he was done and I just let him sit there and I relaxed and few extra minutes. The dentist even joked with me that I could run some errands and come back for him later.

It was truly amazing!

So The bad news is he has 5 cavities, one tooth needs what is comparable to a root canal on a baby tooth. I have the prescription for valum and we will give him some gas. I hope he can do it and it goes as well as our last visit!

Christmas morning santa was good to us. She is a little tired too.

Ella Bella giving her new soccer ball a stroller ride.

She started off really slow. Slowly and carefully opening each gift. Half way in she looks up at me with a huge grin, I LIKE THIS. SHe says and then she helped open all of mine.

Brady new pedal go cart. I am sure he will enjoy it come spring!

Now I dont want you to think we dont love our two older children. The reason I have not been posting is my digital camera broke. My new camera came with a small card. THe rest of christmas are on that card and it is currently missing. AHHH. sometimes I cant win. Charlee got a new long board. Chayston got a new bike and I will post those when I find that card. We had a Very merry christmas and a wonderful 4 hour nap for me.

Christmas 2009

I had a lot going on this year. I just had a hard time getting the energy to decorate or prepare for christmas. So 10 days before christmas it was time.

I dont know how to flip the picture sorry. I was grateful the tree was only up for a short time this year. Ella liked to take all the balls and candy canes off and organize them in piles. 3 balls got broke. She just would not leave it alone little stinker.

It sure makes it feel a lot more like christmas when you decorate. I got much more in the christmas spirit when the house was lit up:)

Naked Boy!!

I know what you are thinking a little late for halloween post. Brady is quite the character. He hates clothes, he changes at least 2 times a day. To be quite honest most the time you can find him running around in his under
wear or something much like the attire he has on in this picture. He makes me laugh everything he wears, he wears proudly. Never shy or embarrased of his getup. When he is only in his underwear , he refers to himself as naked boy! Lets just hope he outgrows this one by kindergarten!

Yea Brady's first day of preschool. Everyone was excited.

Look how big he is, Ella has her back pack on too.

Had to put this one in here, love this baby! He is so adorable. I am so happy I am his auntie Tara. I love our cheek time:)

First day of preschool

Brady started preschool on tuesday and he absolutely loves IT!!! He was so excited all morning and it was torture waiting for 1230 to roll around. I had to work so I missed, i know bad mom. Thank goodness for my fabulous sisters. They save me on a regular basis and I am so so grateful. Amy stayed with the little girls. While YaYa drove him to school. THey were 15 minutes early, I know that would have never happened if I was driving. No one was there yet not even the teacher, The teacher came and he was the first kid there so he got first picks at which seat he wanted. That made him feel special. They painted in paint clothes. He painted a self portrait. Traced his hand and wrote his stats, 49 pounds and 46 inches. He is the tallest kid to attend his preschool, by 3 inches. He is only four. He is a big boy. I asked him about his day and he was so excited about everything. He said, "mom there is 4 boys and 4 girls, they are all nice and my friends. Except for the blue guy he is mean" Translated the little boy wearing blue tshirt. He is starting mature alot and does so good at church also. Hopefully this will help him even more at learning to be a big boy! I will post some pics when I get them:)

TImpanogas Cave

For Ella's birthday we hiked up to Timpanogas Cave! I love it there. I wish it didn't take so long to get there I would like to hike up and down that once a week. It is a workout. We got seperated from part of our group so I stayed behind. Once I found the lost party, we only had 30 minutes to get to the top. Its pretty insane. I felt like I was going good, good pace I was thinking I have to almost be half way. Then I noticed the little marker telling me I was 1/4 of the way. I did do it in a bout 25 minutes and I was walking as fast as could before it was considered running. Thank goodness for my long legs. I found the rest of my group and we were there on time.

There is my mom and nick(ella on shoulders) just a short way before cave. They dont let you take the little ones in, in backpacks!

Brady man was such a tough guy. He did it all by himself and did not complain a bit. I was so proud of him.

finished with the cave. You gotta sign the book so they know you were there.

The birthday girl in the cave. She wanted to be on her own, but you got to watch them close with all those rocks everywhere. They want to climb and lean on them.AHHH

There is Amy and baby kaison. He is 2 months old now. He was a very good boy. Not many kids can say that they went to timp that young. We were happy they could come.

Here is my mom in the cave. looking fabulous as ever. We were so happy grandma came on our little adventure.

Charlee in the cave. She hiked down with 3 backpacks gave my shoulders a rest. No I am not a mean mom she wanted too. She is always watchin out for me.

There is a tired daddy and one pooped birthday girl. She slept the whole way down and on the drive home. Power napping to finish her birthday festivities:)

All done, what a fun hike and the cave is so cool. I love things like that because it reminds you of the beauty all around you. Its crazy all the beautiful places we have close by and we dont take the oppurtunity to explore. I hope to take time, more often to enjoy the beauty all around us!
