Gingerbread and Nutcrackers...

I stole Abby and Aaron today and took them with me to my grandparents house where we had lots of candy and frosting fun with my parents and sister. 

Check out more pictures HERE.

Rainy Day fun...

Oh the fun me and my new camera are having! 

Here's some snapshots from some rainy day fun with me and my favorite little buddy :-)

Wordless Wednesday...

Wordless Wednesday...

What I did today...

I took my "work" with me to the Santa Barbara Museum of Natural History today... here's a glimpse for you all...

(if you want music with the slide, just click that little speaker guy next to "slide" on the top left)

Phase I

See those lovely blue things squished next to my bling-bling gold crowned teeth?

Those are Phase I of braces: SPACERS.

They are these lovely blue rings (kind of like tiny rubber bands) put in between all my molars on the bottom and the top of my mouth to get my teeth ready for the cement and metal ones they will fix to my teeth next week to hold the appliance in place that will be glued to the top of my mouth... now doesn't that sound like fun?

I have no idea how I am going to eat... when I close my mouth, the rubber hits the rubber :-(

My guess is I won't be doing a lot of eating... more like slurping and swallowing.

Oh, fun times are ahead for me, I'm sure!

... to be continued...

One Great Day...

I had a fun-filled Monday with my Monkeys...

(There is a glitch at the beginning that I couldn't fix... sorry)

and then to make my day even better, I got my $$$ from
Uncle Sam!

Root Canal...

Well... I survived... although as I type this the Novocaine is wearing off and the pain is creeping through my jaw... fun times... that I hope I never have to repeat again.
See that tooth in the middle with the white on top? That is the one that died and the dentist de-rooted... lovely isn't it?

Me and the Kids...

This afternoon started 4 days of me and these two hooligans hanging out...

Dawn and Tyler are off to the Veil Colorado film festival
to support/see Jud's (Tyler's bro) movie "The Collective" premiering.

I survived afternoon one, kids are in bed, and there's been no tears.

But there's been some fun times already...

And then there was:
-Myles sticking Ice cubes in his bean and cheese burrito because it was too hot
-Me having no clue how to help Elie with her 5th grade math homework (& she's in 4th grade)
-Myles prayer tonight: "I just want to pray that you'll get a boyfriend and get engaged just like Zoe"
