Dear "Ona",

We miss...

Eating yummy Mexican food with you, every other day:)

playing pickleball,

having you fix our hair, (esp when you can make me look just like my auntie brittany in the 80s)

playing "shamu" in the tub,

making yummy treats,

being extra silly,

and well, mostly just you!

we love you "Ona"

Guess who got us all wet?

Was it:

a. A beluga whale?

b. Seymore the Seal Lion?

c. Shamu?

d. Mother nature

And the answer is....

d. Mother Nature, oh ya and a little of c. Shamu too:)

Seriously who goes to Sea World when its pouring? My mom flew in last Tuesday so we thought it'd be fun to squeeze in a trip to Sea World on Thursday....the weather said sunny and 91. hmmm someone got a little confused with the weather in Mexico perhaps.

We ended up having a great time and the sun came out for the last 2.5 hours:) There was hardly anyone there so we got great seats everytime. The kids have been pretending to be whales in the tub ever since.

Teeth Week

Say AAAAAAWWWWWWW

Thanks to some sweet ideas from my sis Brittany and also my friend Stephanie, oh and the fact that my bro-in-law is a dentist....Teeth week was a success!

We used a white board to discuss brushing in a circular motion.

(Sorry Britt, I'm too cheap to laminate).

Kolby said he needed a drill too.

Kolby drew some teeth too. So Cute! We took a "field trip" to the dentist. Kolby was slightly scared at first. He wanted to make sure it wouldn't hurt. But once he was in the chair he was sooooo good! I couldn't help but giggle when he bit down on the explorer:) He laughed too when the air blew on him he said it tickled. I'm really not very good at making sure he brushes perfectly or flosses so I was holding my breath but he was cavity free!!! Hooray!

When I introduced the vocab word, I said, "What do we call the person who takes care of our teeth?" Kolby yelled, "Mark!" (that's his uncle's name).

Thanks Dr. Lawton! You're the coolest dentist ever!

Ah yes, and the craft? I saw this one at Stephanie's house. I just printed some images from google then used marshmallows for teeth. All you have to do is lick them to get them to stick. Of course my kiddos are probably getting cavities from all the left over marshmallows now:)

Any one else this excited for Easter?

"I want my Daddy"

....these are the first words out of OLIVIA'S mouth Saturday morning. Kolby has always been a totally daddy's boy but for the most part Olivia like to just say a quick hi to her daddy and then it right back to her momma. I was so suprised. I called Daniel and it made him so sad he just had to talk to her on the phone. That night we met up to say hello to Daniel at one of his meets. The kiddos loved it. But Olivia screamed the whole car ride home, "Where'd Daddy go? I want Daddy!" Not sure which is more sad...that she misses her daddy so much or that I could possibly have two "daddy's" children. sniff sniff.

Mr. Grumpy Pants

This is Kolby Saturday at noon, after a no nap week, and staying up til 10:30 the night before. I told him to eat his lunch and then he take a nap because he was grumpy. He said "I'm not grumpy, I'm happy see?" Are you convinced?

Its a miracle...

Olivia held still long enough for me to french braid her hair! well...sort of. The right side was a bit of a struggle. too bad she just went to bed after i was finished. I fix her hair at least 7 times a day....she always always always takes it out. The braids were a little harder to rip out. Ahhh my little defiant Barbie doll:)
