Dentist Appointment

Ok so my sons first dentist appointment was over 6 months ago but last month he was more willing to let the dentist see into his mouth and officially got his teeth checked and cleaned for the first time. I love the dentist we go to. He talks to our kids and finds out their interests and uses that to help them be comfortable while he checks their teeth. So here is my brave little boy being so good. He was very excited to pick his own toothbrush. He got 2 a spin brush for fun with wolverine on it and a regular kids one for mommy and daddy to brush his teeth with that had a Cars character on it.

Friends!

Enjoying some pool time with her best friend before school starts up.

The County Fair 2011

Here we are at our annual County Fair. We went and checked out the fun free stuff.

They enjoyed the pony rides.

Getting balloon hats.

If you can't tell hers is a butterfly and his is a plane.

Shot some hoops and got a candy and chalk for playing.

A family picture. Aren't we cute?!?

And enjoyed the discovery tent.

A Broken Arm

Ok so I know you have probably noticed the cast on out little girls arm. So more than likely you have wondered what happened. Well as it turns out one night my son thought it would be fun to pretend that my daughter's legs were a tunnel. But he also thought he should be able to keep the train moving and got frustrated when his sister was in the way. How rude right? So he pushed really hard and caused her to fall and hyper-extend her elbow so bad that it caused a crack above her elbow. So we went to the doctor and they put a splint on and sent us to a children's orthopedic clinic and they put the cast on her arm. She kept trying to pick colors that everyone else picked. Finally she decided on red. I think this was her favorite accessory. She really didn't complain much. She wore it for 3 weeks. And was very happy to have it come off. The hardest part for her was that she couldn't go on a trampoline for a whole month.

Here she is showing off her cast before we got it cut off.

Waiting to get an x-ray to see if it can come off.

Waiting for sister to come back from her x-ray.

So she looks nervous right like it is a little scary.

But wait she is laughing. Turns out that the saw was tickling her arm.
Here she is happily showing off her arm cast free.
A fun thing at the Children's hospital is this little garden area. It made for some fun pictures.

First Day of Dance

Dance started a few weeks ago and life is good. She loves taking this time to learn how to dance. Plus she loves getting dressed up each week for it.

Neighborhood Bike Parade

This was a lot of fun. Our kids got to participate in their first bike parade and they loved it. Each kid got a balloon and got to attach it to their bikes and ride through the neighborhood and finish at the park. Maybe I should let my daughter ride her bike while I go on walks. As long as their are no up hills she will be in heaven.

Family Day!

We got a chance to go to the local Amusement Park with my husbands family. It was fun to spend the day with them and to watch my kids have fun with their cousins and Grandma and Grandpa. My daughter couldn't get enough of the rides and my son always looked apprehensive but you couldn't get him to stay off. Here are the pics from that day.

Two of my little nieces. They wrapped me around their little fingers.

Aww how cute!
Here they are at the end of the day. Worn out and tired. She is wearing her rain jacket that we got her just so she could get wet and not worry about her cast. Lucky we planned for that because it started to rain and we were prepared.
