Ok, it's been years since I've been to the dentist. They terrify me. I had a bad experience as a kid and I am a big baby. I have a broken tooth on the bottom I've been avoiding but a friend at work made me schedule an appointment with a dentist so I went. We have dental coverage and get a free cleaning once a year so I might as well use it right. So I go for the cleaning and of course, I need a root canal on that tooth..great! I had that done last Wednesday and it wasn't so bad. It' s not something I'd do again but it wasn't bad. Now I have to have a crown done. Yeah me!!

Ring in the new year

New Years Eve we went out to eat then went to Blockbuster and bought the 4 DVD's for $30. We let each of the girls pick out a movie. Faith picked Hairspray (because of Zac Effron) but we haven't watched it yet. I hear it's great. Hope picked Cheaper by the Dozen 2, which is a great family movie! We all 4 curled up in our bed and watched it. I don't think we made until midnight but we had great family time together.

Speaking of family, I have a little book with children's bible stories we read at night and at the enc of each chapter are questions and prayers, etc... We had read the story of Genesis and how God created everything and the question was what is your favorite thing God made? Faith says my family.....how adorable is that. She can make my heart melt sometimes! I love you baby!

Family Time

The weekend following Christmas we went to my brother Rodney's. We had a great time. My niece Caytlin cut Faith's hair to her shoulders. It looks so much healthier and she looks adorable. She also cut and colored mine. She always does such a great job! Please pray for my other niece Kelsi. She's had a few seizures in her life and now she's 16 and to her license in April but she's had a couple of seizures and she was doing great but she had one a couple of weeks ago so she can't drive for 6 months...you know that sucks when you first get your license! Hope adores Kelsi. She's the only person she'd let hold her or do anything for her the entire time we were there. She wanted to stay with her. We took Jake and he had a blast in a fenced in yard. He played his heart out with their little dog Skyler. They also have the Wii game. We played bowling, tennis, golf and boxing. I could hardly walk for 2 days I was so sore!! LOL

Alvin, Simon, Theodore

The Friday before Christmas we took the girls to see Alvin and the Chipmunks....too cute!! They loved it. We spent a family day/night together. We had a great Christmas at home.
