who really likes to see the dentist.

does anyone else hate going to the dentist?  

I love our dentist- he really is amazing and unfortunately we have spent way too much time in his office with teeth injuries.  

Now that I have 3 kids who have to been seen- it is pure misery.  

but on the up side- the shades and built in tv's are pretty great.

a miracle

these moments don't happen very often in our house.  

we are more a house of fighting, yelling and nonstop picking on each other.  

So a moment when they are all in one chair listening to me read harry potter- 

pretty dang cute.  

I really can't help falling even more in love with them when they are so dang cute.  

parties continue on...

tae kwon do has become the favorite of the hood- everyone is doing it- both the boys and the girls.

so everyone was excited when our cute friend josh had a tkd birthday party

they got to try out some fun moves and break a board.   it was pretty cute.  

james, jake, josh, zach, andrew, samantha, william, caroline, owen, jackson...

sweet ciara

cams adorable friend ciara had a birthday party at a jewelry shop

you would think they were in heaven 

they each got to make a necklace and bracelet.

the best part for ciara and her sister tristan- their dad was in town for a few days 

from afganistan.  now that is a good birthday present.

why?!

I really don't understand why kids can eat some food and not get a speck on them....

but spaghetti always looks like this?  

before we eat spaghetti both of my girls have to strip their shirts off because the stains- yea i learned the hard way and have ruined a few good outfits. 

 I hope they aren't 40 and still look like this at the end of dinner.  

2nd day of snow

it wasn't much- 

but it was enough for a great full on war snow ball fight in the hood...

b, jake, andrew, camiron, owen and jackson all were a part of the mix

random gem

I don't know where we got this random gem..

but for all those out there who wonder what troy looks like at work.....

yep thats my man.  he's a rockstar.
