Was Dat??

This week was full of "firsts" for all the kids... John started football practice, his 1st high school practice. He decided two days before that he wanted to play. So that left us running around getting stuff from his doctor and the gear. **that's not the first time that he's waited until the last minute** They work him pretty hard at the 3 hour practices.


Makynna had her first dentist appointment this last week. She has been watching a video at daycare on how to take care of her teeth and has been asking when she'll get to go to the dentist. When I told her that she was going to see the dentist she said she was excited, then a few minutes later she said that she was just a little scared. She was VERY brave!! She let the assistant and the dentist do what they needed to do and didn't complain once. On our way out she asked when she could go back. When we got home, I think she "flossed" her teeth for an hour!



Livia had her first birthday party this past weekend in South Dakota. She shared the party with her cousin Alex, who was turning 7. She had a great time, I've attached some pictures below. For awhile now, every time we pick her up she points at something and says "Was dat?" It was cute at first... She also loves to talk on the phone, she'll pick up the phone or a toy one and hold it backwards and say "hi". I remember Makynna doing the same thing. She's still "speed crawling" but wants to walk with your fingers all the time.









Here are the cakes I made. Alex's is in the back and Livi's in the front. :)- Yummy!
Alex and Livi...and me.

Here is Livi with one of her gifts, she couldn't wait for me to take it out. She loves to play with it and all the accessories - including the phone...
