Remember your first time to the dentist?

I personally don't remember mine but I'm almost positive it was met with the whaling and gnashing of teeth - literally. I despise the dentist and it's no secret in our house that even though we have (the worst) dental insurance Scott and I still have a hard time making ourselves be the parent in this situation and just go to the dentist.

I can still feel all the anxieties I felt when I was younger having to go to the dentist and orthodontist - it's really quite debilitating.

So, when it came time for the twins' first dental appointment I made for darn sure that they thought they were going to Disneyland. There's only enough room in this family for two big babies when it comes to going to the dentist and those spots are already occupied by the Mom & Dad.

I was so worried how they would do - they don't do to well when it comes to new, unfamiliar sterile environments - but they both did so great. Brody was really quite the charmer. It was an early enough appt that there were no other patients in the office but just a handful of assistants, hygienists and the doc and he had each one eating out of his hand.

At one point this was an actual conversation he had with the hygienist just before the cleaning started...

Hygienist: Hi Brody, how are you?

Brody: Good.

Hygienist: You have some good looking teeth.

Brody: Uh-huh

Hygienist: Where did you get those beautiful teeth?

Brody: At the store.

Hygienist: Oh really. At the store? What store?

Brody: At Walmart.

My sweet boy... that's the one thing Walmart does not sell that they probably should! I just love that little guy... he cracks us up all the time!!

And I know I am over due with some Halloween pictures... I will try and post them ASAP. I know it's virtually impossible to believe that ME, of all people, would forget to bring a camera to the halloween party we went to so let's just say that it's Scott's fault; the blame usually lands on him for most things anyways :=)

Whoa baby, it's been a lonnnng time!

OK, here we go... my attempt to play catch up... Scrolling down you see it was just a few posts ago that I was so proud of my new lil 2nd grader. Well as time so often does it just flew right by and we just wrapped up 2nd grade year... watch out 3rd grade. As tradition in our house here is Sam's mini shoot commemorating her 2nd grade year.

Someone had a birthday...

Albeit almost 6 months ago, but better late than never. Samantha turned 9 years old in January and I cannot believe how big she is. Every once in a while I will catch a glimpse of her and just think to myself...WOW, you are all mine...I get to keep you forever!! I love that she is in our family and it would not be the same without her.

Wee little princess...

Oh man, where does one begin to describe our little peanut. For starters I still get a kick out of the random folks that ask me almost weekly what the age difference is between the B's... then the genuine look of shock and awe when I tell the unsuspecting person that they are in fact twins. Let's see...what else about Brooke... -She bounces EVERY where she goes...she can never just walk places she has to twirl, bounce, you name it -She is the most amazing UNtrained dancer EVER...at least that's what her Grandma Herrick would say! -She has the most loving heart I have ever witnessed...loves and cares so unconditionally -Wants to be just like her big sister in the worst way -Has my chin...and it's soooo cute! -Her prayers will melt your heart...no joke! -Still prays everyday that her Grandma will be strong and healthy and we don't dare correct her -Always wants to be on the go and constantly asks to go to the mall -Has the sweetest bond with her bro and I...
