First Day of School

Running just a week behind! But we made it to 1st and 5th grade ... my how time flies! I have a picture with Clark and his teacher ... but I found out that at the Intermediate School you don't walk in with the kids ( made me kinda sad) but I took the traditional 1st day of school pictures on the back porch! So far both are very happy and excited ... just a little tired, but we will get back in the swing of things and all will go just right.

2009 Pensacola Beach

What a great "business" trip we had ... Mike had to teach 2 classes in Pensacola, so the boys and I tagged along! We had a great time playing in the sand and ocean ... something the boys have just come to appreciate. They are growing so fast and we had a wonderful time!

OOOPS!!!

OK ... I've been bad! I will do better about blogging! ( I'll try)

Going to the beach for a couple of days so check back for some cool pictures .... Let me see if I have any to share.

Mike needed a head shot for a brochure ... this is what I came up with ...!

Braxton's Big Day!

Today, Tuesday, February 10th Braxton had his braces REMOVED! Originally he was told it would take 9 to 12 months ... but, we only had them 6 months!!! He still has some things he will sleep with but those pearly whites are showing again. The excitement this morning was bouncing him all around this house and when Dr. Griggs removed them he brought him a goody sack with all kinds of hard candy ( he has not be allowed to have hard candy with the braces since it could possibly pull the wires loose). He has the sweetest smile and he loves to show it right now! This is our after and before picture this morning...

Clark's First Dentist Visit

Monday, February 9th was finally Clark's first dental visit. We have tried two other times to have his teeth cleaned and he did not cooperate. But, Monday was the day ... he cried entering the office and came out scared of nothing! Once we get over the fear, all is well, if I could only make him trust me! He now has a new tooth brush, toothpaste and his own dental floss which he likes to lick the mint taste off.
