New Do

Isn't Lindsay's new haircut supercute?

Jump

We have been working on jumping for months. She finally has it! Yippee!!!

Lindsay at the Dentist

Lindsay had her first visit to the dentist. While these

pictures make it out to be a pleasant visit, I assure

you, it was not. Let's just say that Lindsay was very

interested in all of the tools the dentist had and had to

put her little fingers on them all. She was pleased to get a

new toothbrush, which the hygenist had to use to clean her

teeth because there was no way she was going to allow the

rotating brush in. She loved the water sprayer and spit sucker.

I don't know the technical terms, but you know what I'm talking

about. I was told that most kids hate that part, but not Lindsay.

That was all she wanted to do.

When it was time the dentist to exam her teeth, I had to hold her down

while she clenched her jaws shut. With three of us, we finally got her

mouth open so the dentist could count them. She has all her teeth, no

extras or missing teeth. The dentist told me that we would probably be

visiting an othodontist in the future because her top teeth are very

close together and when she gets her permanent teeth, which are larger,

it will get crowded and they will probably start to twist and turn. Let's

not think about that bill yet.

While the hygenist was coaxing Lindsay to get her mouth open,

a dad walked by with his daughter. He did a double take at

Lindsay and said how cute she was. He said he has a 8 year

old daughter with Ds who was the same way when she was

little. Now she loves going to the dentist. I guess there's hope.

My Kids

No really good reason to post this, but it is a

pretty cute picture of my kids!

Smilin' Kids

We love having cousins Ryan and Owen live

just 5 minutes from us now. I took

Alex, Ryan and Lindsay to the park while Owen

got his check up.

*Notice, they are all looking at the camera

and smiling at the same time.

NC Zoo

For our first day of spring break, we went to the zoo. This is Alex

and Lindsay in some rather large eggs.

This is Lindsay's new favorite way to travel.

The chimp came right up to the glass to check Lindsay out.

At one point they were pointing at each other, but our

camera was too slow.

Update

Okay, so it's been awhile since I updated our blog. Nothing extraordinary happening here. We're just in the school/work, homework, dinner, bath, and bedtime routine everyday. Here are some little things that are new to the kids.

Lindsay

*She just graduated from her crib into a toddler bed. The transition was much easier than anticipated. She seems pretty pleased with herself to be a big girl! We are painting the walls light purple next weekend.

*Insists on walking everywhere we go. I guess she thinks she's getting too old to be carried.

*Is going to school 3 days a week.

*Got her first haircut.

*Discovered that she's not too fond of snow. It's too COLD!

*Found that she absolutely loves powered donuts. We have to distract her when we're in the grocery store near the donuts. She is crazy about them.

*Loves mommy's snuggie.
*Just a random picture I thought was just too cute to not post.

Alex
*Always has a book with him. He loves to go to the library and get a stack of chapter books. It's amazing how fast he goes through them.

*Discovered that he loves to be pulled behind the four wheeler at Papaw and Nana's house.

*Found that you can get very cold sledding.

*Is doing more chores.
