Jaxon's first cavity

whattayaknow... a week after halloween he's complaining that his teeth hurt!

i thought for sure they'd do laughing gas for him, we talked all about it before so he wouldn't be surprised..but nope. straight to the shot. he didn't even flinch really! i couldn't believe how awesome he did the whole time!!


Dr. Scott is the absolute BEST! we love him around here. he's so good with kids. (he treats me with kid gloves too, which is a must at the dentist!)



This didn't really hurt, just looks like it.


on top of choosing a prize from the treasure box, Dr. Scott has a koi pond out back, and lets the kids feed the fish when they're done!

A better late than never halloween post

So, some of our family say Hal-loween and others say Hall-oween, but we all love it just the same. It's not about the candy or the scares, it's that we all get to dress up as a family unit. We have a new theme every year, which we started doing in 2008. Yes, a few years into actually having a family to dress up. I'm totally planning on getting a photo printed of each year to display at Halloween time each year. Here is us as far back as I have digital photos... i have no idea where '05 and '07 are. I can tell you that those are the boys' first halloweens, so I KNOW i have pics somewhere. They wore the infamous monkey costume their first halloweens, and jax wore a lion costume in '07, so actually the theme-ing stared that year, just Jason and I didn't participate. well, we dressed up but Jason was a ref and I was a fairy. anyway...
