Brace Face!!!

Well working for an orthodontics office has it's advantages and disadvantages. Disadvantage you see a lot of perfect teeth and realize how jacked up yours are. Advantage- you can get braces and be treated without making an apt. ha. Dr A has been itching to put braces on my 'jacked up' teeth as he calls them since day 1. So I finally let him. Tomorrow I will get my lovely Roof Pallet Expander so I will sound like I just had my jaw wired shut to expand my pallet for my teeth to move in so they will be pretty. We are kinda known as the non-teeth pulling orthodontist. Not always but we do Pallet Expanders vs pulling teeth a lot of the time. Who know they may put it in tomorrow and I may say forget it take it back out. I already am having a hard time with the excessive spit that is forming in my mouth! But everyone loves how big and pretty my teeth are so they keep telling me I will have a nice big pretty smile and all this will be worth it in the end. I sure hope so!

Tag you are it!

I grabbed this from someone else’s blog. I am a serial blogger and I will read blogs of people I don’t even know. I know a little creepy but I get ideas!

I did.

4. Who is taller?

14. Who has more siblings?
Me by a long shot, I have 6 and Trav has NONE!

Hmm each of us would probably say the other one does so I guess that means we share them.

Trav did. I was leaving to see my sister and we were just friends and we went to lunch and he kissed me and told me to think about us on my trip. I was floored!

22. Who proposed?
Trav did at the kitchen sink.. How romantic guess I fooled him into thinking I was going to be a good house wife.. Ha! Those who have seen my house know otherwise!

23. His best features?
I love his eyes. They are so sweet looking and reflect the sweet person that he is. His sense of humor. He is so very funny and has a great smile when he laughs.

24. What's his best quality?
He is the best dad in the world to our 2 young kids. He takes the fishing, swimming, plays with them outside in this gosh awful 110 degree weather. They just beam when they see him. It lights my eyes up to see the great relationship they have.

Morgan, Alissa and Celeste. My three sisters. Ha J

ROOOOAAAARRRR!

Austin loves the Imaginext toys especially the dinosaurs. We went to Target today to spend his gift card from Papa Quader. They had this display of the Imaginext Mega Dinosaur. We seriously had to stand there for 10 minutes while he and Jarae pushed the button to make it go over and over and over. We started out a few rows down and some other kids had pressed the button.. Austin's ears perked his eyes widdened, and he said to me.. mommy. whad dat? I said I don't know we will have to go see. His face lit up like the dinosaur when he saw it as he said... 'whooooa mommy big ninasaur!' So I tried to take a pic with my phone sorry it's not the best but you kinda get the idea how obsessed he was with it.

Preschool Pic!

Jarae is attending Dawn's Primary Learning Preschool. She is part of the 4 year old class and she just loves Mrs. Spier. She has learned so much from Mrs. Spier I can't thank her enought for the education she is giving Jarae. This is a picture of Jarae from picture day at school this week. I can't beleive how big my little princess has gotten. She is such a smart girl and such a joy to our lives. Isn't she just gorgeous!

What's your memory of me?

Here are the directions:



1. As a comment on my blog, leave one memory that you and I had together. It doesn't matter if you knew me a little or a lot, anything you remember!


2. Next, re-post these instructions on your blog and see how many people leave a memory about you. It's actually pretty cool (and funny) to see the responses

TWO!!!!!!

From my little baby boy



To my litte Austin man!




Austin turned 2 on September 4th. This is him trying to hold up two fingers. He couldn't do it on one hand so we taught him to hold his two 1st fingers up... I can't beleive that my little boy is 2 already. Man time flies too fast! Seems like just a little bit ago we were bringing him home from the hospital. Austin is such a character and has such a personality he is a joy to our life. He is so stubborn and yet so sweet. Such a temper and yet so loving. He talks very well for 2 so we can understand him. He loves to be outside, fishing and playing. Imaginext toys, planes, trains (Thomas), and automobiles oh and motorcycles (cycles as he calls them). Balls, bugs, and animals. He is a boy thru and thru.
