BEAR WORLD


This last weekend we went to Bear World with some cousins because we heard on the radio that it was free and they were going to have the 12 brand new baby cubs out for everyone to see. If you wanted to hold or even touch them then you had to pay fifteen dollars and you also walked away with a picture of it. For those of us who wanted to just LOOK you could. It turned out to be kind of disappointing. They only had two cubs out one for taking pictures and this one to look at. Someone did ask if they could pet this one and the worker said if you want to touch them then you have to get in the other line and get your picture taken. There were a lot of people there and it was crazy and none of the other area of the park was open so everyone in the gift shop = Fun Times.


This is the baby cub we saw. He was really cute. Hard to believe they start out so little and cute and grow so big and can become dangerous.


We decided to take our own shots with the bear out front. It was cute Spencer saw this bear and started to growl at it.

THIS WEEK...


Makenzie turned nine on Tuesday. Josh came home early from school and Makenzie really wanted Chinese food. So we went to The Great Hunan she loves their egg drop soup. Then we came home and had some cousins come over for some cake and ice cream.



I can not believe my little girl turned nine. Where did the time go. I love her so much she is the biggest helper, she loves to sing and dance around the house, the big teaser to her sisters and brother lately, and joy to have in our home. The things she likes to do right now are: ride her bike and scooter, play with her many many pet shops, she could play with friends every day if I would let her. We love you Makenzie and life would not be the same without you.


It was warm for a few days this week and whenever that happens Josh pulls out the bikes and we all have a little fun.
You can tell from the pictures that are kids love to go for a ride. Especially Spencer. That boy could live on a bike.






I wish that I could say it has been full of fun and play but on Friday Spencer went in to the Surgical Center and had to get his teeth fixed. On Wednesday I had to take him into the doctors office to get a well check to make sure he was cleared for Friday. Let me just say he does not like to go when the doctor was done Spencer growled at the doctor because he was not happy with him. So Friday was going to be interesting. I had Josh take him because I have taken the three girls in on different accounts and it has not been a fun experience. Josh was preparing for the worst and all he got was "don't want it" a couple times and a little crying. I think he got off easy:)




He did find somethings he liked there. He found this cupboard he liked to hide in and this Popsicle. Before they let you leave you have to wake them up and they have to eat a Popsicle or drink a cup of juice and be able to keep it down before you can be discharged.


Poor little boy doesn't he look so sad, but he has brand new nice looking teeth. Thanks Josh for taking him.

Teeth everybody has them...

This week and next week is a fun filled week with teeth pulling, cleaning, and fixing and I have not been excited about any of it. We start with Makenzie she went in a couple months ago for a cleaning and the dentist said we should take her to an orthodontist to get his opinion on pulling some teeth. We did and he said she needs four teeth pulled and hopefully that will fix the other problems if not then she could possibly have four more teeth pulled and or braces. So back to the dentist we went to get her four baby teeth pulled. She was not at all excited and kept telling me she is the boss of her body and she didnt think she needed them out yet. To which I responded yes you are the boss of your body but in this case you need to get them pulled. She was not thrilled and a little nervous once we got there but I have to say she did awesome. After she had the gas turned on she went a little loopy but he had us in and out with four teeth pulled in less than half an hour. I gave her some tylenol when we got home and she didnt complain. Well who would complain if they got to eat milkshakes for dinner.

The pink thing she is holding is the smelly part of the gas that made her loopy.

Kaitlyn and Hannah were up next and Hannah hates going to the dentist so for her to sit in the chair and get her teeth cleaned is HUGE. I have to say that by her sitting at the top of the chair to help with Kaitlyn's cleaning made it so much easier for her to get hers cleaned after that. Kaitlyn had a filling that we didnt know had fallen out so the dentist decided to fix it while we were still there. Check in my book one less thing i have to drag the kids back for. By the way she did awesome she is so brave she will sit in the chair and let them do what they need to do and not say anything about it. She loves going.

Cold and wet

Because it has been cold outside and now raining my kids are feeling the effects of being in the house all winter. I know i know you can call me a mean mom for not letting my kids play outside all the time but in the mean time they enjoy this.



And a little of this.


Fun times in the garage.
