double take

February 22, 2017

When we were in Montgomery, Robert was going through some of his old stuff and found this class picture from when he was about 4 years old. We all cracked up because we’ve seen Spencer make this exact face numerous times!

I had to pull some proof to see the side by sides!

Day trip

February 21, 2017

We took a day trip to Montgomery on Sunday to celebrate Margaret’s baptism. It was a beautiful, sunny day – perfect for the occasion! I thought Spencer looked super cute in this outfit but he disagreed.

He was much happier in these “big boy clothes”!

Baby kind of looked like a wedding cake but I thought she still looked super cute.

My mom disagreed. Oh well, you can’t please everyone!

We had a fun day hanging out with Robert’s family. The kids of course loved playing with the cousins.

Samantha especially loved holding court with the star of the day!

The most fun of the day was when Lou Lou taught the kids about the joys of Reddi-Whip! ha! They started out eating it on fruit, then moved to spoons, then to just fingers…

which quickly moved to squirting it directly into their mouths thanks to Uncle Ronnie!

We were all worn out from the fun!

Dentist

February 17, 2017

Dental checkups on Thursday and all looked great! This was Samantha’s first checkup but she has been to the dentist before for her mouth trauma. I guess she remembered that because, before we left, I was telling her how we were going to the dentist to get her teeth cleaned and she pointed to the ceiling and said “tv!”. Our dentist has tvs in the ceiling that play movies. Smart girl!

She clearly has good memories of the place because she just walked right in like it was no big deal and even let the hygienist pick her up and carry her to the chair!

She could not have been sweeter, cuter, or more well-behaved! Go Baby!

Spencer was having a bit of a tough time because he really didn’t think any of the toothpaste flavors were going to taste good. But, after a lot of convincing, he finally opened up and let her clean his teeth…

and didn’t fuss one bit for x-rays or Dr. Thomas. Thank goodness!

I took Spencer and Samantha in the morning and then took maxwell back up after school (Yes, I made 2 trips to the dentist in 1 day!).

He got a great report too! and everyone was in agreement that he’ll definitely need braces someday – crowded teeth in a small mouth! I know what that’s like! 😄

Grateful for healthy teeth!

Have a great weekend!

Thursday

February 16, 2017

It’s Thursday….thank goodness it’s no longer Wednesday! Robert and I both got hit with food poisoning in the middle of the night Tuesday and were pretty miserable all day yesterday. I can’t say food poisoning is what I wanted to get for Valentine’s Day! Thankfully the kids are all fine – they must not have eaten whatever took us down.

Before we got sick, the boys did get some good looking haircuts…

and even when sick I still managed to get Samantha looking cute for school in some polka dot tights!

and Robert and I both managed to get ourselves up to take Maxwell to his ENT evaluation.

After 7 cases of strep in 3 years and 3 in the last 6 weeks alone, he’s getting his tonsils out! March 1st is the date – say a prayer for sweet Maxwell! and bring on the popsicles and ice cream!

See you tomorrow!
