Weeks of Firsts


A new first...

We started a small vegetable garden. We are growing onions, lettuce, and peppers. We will see how it turns out. I do not have a green thumb and Sophie like to pull the plants up. We will see if they survive...I have found many trains being pushed between the plants. 


A horrible First.... 

STITCHES! 
Spencer and Shep were playing in back yard and found Matt's grilling tool. Spencer's tip of his thumb got sliced. It was a rough week. he couldn't get it wet. There was a ton of blood, and he hated when I took off the bandaid to change it. I think he thought the blood would start up again. Poor thing had to get 3 shots in the tip of his finger...

At the doctor & after...
Angry bird band aid makes it all better!


We celebrated getting the stitches out with lunch and fun at the park!

First time at the Dentist...

Boys had their first cleaning... Looks like Shep and Sophie will have to have an early consultation at the orthodontist... Lots of dental work in our future...

Ready for the dentist! They were practicing
Doesn't seem so bad when you have your best friend at your side!

New toothbrushes!!





















ALL CLEAN!

Boys did great...



now for Sophie! 

This isn't so bad...


What is on your hand?
This is a good of a look at you are going to get...

Not really thrilled about it...



Too wiggly for a cleaning, but the consultation said she has a stage 3 under bite....
orthodontist in a couple of years...
She loves her new pink toothbrush!


First PONYTAIL!

Birthday Dread

Shepherd asked yesterday how old I was going to be on my next birthday....

Why did he have to ask THIS year? WHY? So I told him I was going to be... 30...

Then he asked what kind of birthday I would have. I asked what should I have?

Spencer answer and said a Star Wars Angry Birds Party...

Guess it is settled...maybe that will help with turning 30...probably not..but maybe...
