Dentist

Taylor has had a whole month of adventures and firsts. I noticed she had a cavity in one of her back molars when I would brush her teeth. I knew it was time that she go to the dentist. She was just a little bit nervous of the dentist. She relates to the dentist of a scary place seen on Finding Nemo. I told her it wasn't going to be that way. We had found an amazing dentist here where we live that is great so I knew she would be find. I won't mention how many cavities later we are done. She did so awesome. She didn't have the gas or nothing. Just had the shot and he went to work. Dr. Hansen is seriously by far the best dentist ever. He was so great with her. Yesterday when we finished her last appointment I said we won't have to come back her for a while she was sad..."but I really like going there mom". I am thankful that she was so good. I have heard of awful kid dental experiences and I am glad she likes it.

Ear Piercing

Taylor has been asking for the past two months to get her ears pierced. I always wanted it to be my daughter choice to get it done. So I told her we could go get it done. Every time I would get ready to take her she would say " I want to wait longer mom, I am not ready" So I waited for her to want to. Well the day came that she wanted them and there was no backing out. She was ready to be in her words " Just like Mom" We headed to the mall. Of course Taylor had to pick the most expensive pair of earings.

We had them do both ears at once to make it easier. Which is good if they both get it straight. Long story short one side was so not straight. The girl totally missed her dot. So we had to take one out and let it grow shut and then get it redone in 4 days. Now they are great.

She started to get ready to cry and tear up but then they broke out the good stuff. A sucker is all it took to change this girls face right around. I am so proud of her. The second time when they fixed it she didn't even flinch. She loves to have her ears pierced and is so proud of them. She shows everyone. I was worried she would play with them and try to take them out but she hasn't bothered them at all.

What a little boy can do

So Bridger was taking a nap. I was busy upstairs cleaning and working. He sleeps in a big bed so he usually gets out and comes upstairs when he is awake. Well this particular day I guess he woke up feeling really curious.

We have an extra bedroom downstairs that we obviously don't use. We haven't really done anything in there as far as painting. So I have all my paints and craft supplies in there. I had been laying drop clothes down and that is where I have been painting furniture. Until this day I had no idea Bridger could open doors. I learned this when Taylor happend to come downstairs and heard Bridger and came running back upstairs.

This is what I found. I seriously did not even know where to start. I pulled out the carpet cleaner and started scrubing. After hours of scrubbing I finally gave up. The carpet in that room is officially ruined. So I guess it will be getting recarpeted sometime. I am thankful it isn't a room people ever see. After this day I put a child lock on the door. I learned really fast the descuction one can do in a matter of no time.

Summer trip to the Zoo

We sure love the zoo. I love our zoo here because it is the most perfect size. It takes about an hour to get through it. Which makes it nice with little kids. My sister and her kids came and stayed with us for a few days so we decided to take the kids to the zoo. It was a lot of fun.

The monkeys are always a favorite of our family. I think I could seriously sit and watch them for hours. They are so facinating to me.

Playing at the zoo in the farm section. Bridger chilled in the stroller a lot or was roaming around. He doesn't hold still for many pictures. Especially when there is so much to see.

Blog Catch Up

I did it again. I am really good at getting really behind and then I have to do a million posts to feel caught up. I am extremely sore from running the last few days. I am training for a 20 mile marathon. Not! But I am getting in better shape to be a lot more healthier. So I thought I would give myself a rest and catch up. Life is busy but Life is great!

For Granted

I will never in my life take grass and trees for granted. Before having to put in a yard I just looked at grass and thought nothing of it. I never knew that it once looked like this and had to take what seems like forever to get full and beautiful. I look out the back window about 15 times a day to see if it has gotten bigger and filled in. It is slowly but surley getting tall and filling in. Oh I can't wait.

Our yard seriously has been the story of our life lately. This past weekend we planted a bunch of trees including apple, pear and peach trees. We have lots of acrege to do something with so we thought we would live a little more provident and plant trees. Our garden is also coming up which makes me really excited. I can't wait for fresh veggies. Now we just need to get some cows and chickens and we can have a Brunson Farm. Just kidding but I think we are really getting there. By next year I actually hope to have some cows in a pasture.

Trampoline Fun!

The kids have been enjoying the trampoline. Since we had to plant grass we knew that the kids would not be able to run across the lawn a lot so we got a tramp and put it the big covered patio in the back. They have loved every chance to go out there and jump. Bridger is now starting to get the hang of it.

I also have been letting them have picnics out there. It has actually been nice to not clean up a lunch mess and suprisingly they have been eating their lunches better. And notice in the back our lawn is coming in and is green. Never been so excited over grass.
