The first part of the year

 

 

Lane kicked his new year off with 5 cavities. Nice.

We were ready to plan our trip to New Mexico for a day at the dentist with Uncle Travis.

I say that in a non joking matter. Needles don't suit Lane well.

Come with us to get his blood drawn and you can see for yourself. It really is quite a show.

Luckily Casey's good friend Leo is a dentist here in Mesa so we decided to take him in to see how he would do.

There was lot's of bribing of Bahama bucks.

 I know, I know.

Let's fill your cavities then coat your remaining 10 good teeth with blue sugar!

I don't know if it was that or Leo but it worked.

After he dozed off to happy land it only took 30 minutes and he was good to go.

Thanks Dr. C!

 

 

He also got to celebrate his first 100 days of school!

 

Rusty  loves hair cut time, NOT.

He was due beginning of December and I couldn't face it so it got pushed back to the end of January.

 I must have been feeling ambitious because I even attempted it without Casey home to hold him down.

It was quite the showdown.

There was hair, tears, boogers flying about.

 Half a bag of pretzels smashed on the floor. It was awesome!

Afterwards we took a picture to send to dad.

The best part was when he proclaimed, mom, I didn't cry!

Sure son, whatever you say.

 



We still don't know exactly how this happened but it was pretty cool looking.

Skateboards make great scars.

 



 

Dad had to work in Tuscon for a few days.

  We took full advantage of eating out and getting treats.

The weather was amazing so we pulled out the swim trunks!

Baby girl and I loved our chill-axin by the pool side.

 



 

 

And then it went ahead and SNOWED the very next day!

True story, snow on our windshield.
