Ears pierced

Camden has been asking me for a couple months if she could get her ears pierced. SO I thought, sure, I need something to blog about.
I always thought that 8 was a good age. Well, 4 is the new 8. I gave in and took her today. I told her that it would hurt a little. My fear was that she would get one done, freak out, and not get the other ear done. She did cry a little but we walked away with 2 earrings so I was happy. Trying out glasses while we were waiting. Apparently Saturday at noon is a popular time for piercings.

The result.

I wanted to get the whole thing on video but after she started crying I looked kinda bad standing there recording her. So I shut it off and did some comforting. Because people were watching.

Bye bye paci....... hello nursery.

Eli LOVED his pacifier. I loved that he loved it. But now it is time to say goodbye. I will miss it. ELi is whiny and this just helped him and me not have to deal with it. He slept good without it. It's daytime that has been tough these last few days.

He's a little dazed and confused in this picture.

First Sunday at nursery. I am overwhelmed with emotions as we approach this milestone. kidding. I'm thrilled. Later buddy. See ya in 2 hours.

And this is Camden having some fun with my lipstick. It's a little dark but good job for not getting it all over her face.

Utah

Here are some pictures of our trip[ to St. George to visit family. We had lots of fun.
In no particular order.
This is a result of me passing a semi on I-15. Not happy. All of the cousins. So cute.

When we were in dental school a lot of my friends were from Utah. They would always talk about going home and eating Cafe Rio. I had tried it once a long time ago and thought it wasn't anything great. I think I had an enchilada. People kept talking about the sweet pork salad. SO, I thought I would give it another try. And I am happy to say that it was DELICIOUS! I know Ginnie will be so proud.

My mom and ELi. He really took a liking to her on the trip. Being in a car with someone for 9 hours will do that to you. Or make you hate the person.

Some kid with a horrible mullet. Not that there is a good mullet out there.

Camden got to see her friend that we went to school with.

Daegan survived while we were away.

Spring Break

Mason has spring break this week so I am headed South to St. George to visit my sister Bonnie. Long drive. My mom and sister are coming with me so I won't be lonely. I am excited for the warm weather and flip flops. It's no MTV's spring break in Mexico but I did that twice and am over it. I am ready to try a more relaxed setting.

we do things a little different

Daegan got another knife. He keeps saying that "this is the last one then I will be happy." He sounds like me when it comes to clothes. This one is big. He has done some cosmetic work on the handle and is very happy. He has been picking out fabric for his new handle. Here he is sharpening the knife. Yes, with Eli close by. Some people may hide the knives from their kids. Nope, not the D man.
He also has one arm without hair. Why? That is how he tests the sharpness of the knife. His assistant noticed and thought there was something wrong with him. Some kind of illness. He does have something. There isn't a name for it.
Just another night here in Montana.
