Remember how I told you in last month's post that Brynn's fake tooth has become the story that doesn't end? Well we got her tooth back and we took her back in to get it cemented in, only to find out that the band doesn't fit, so they had to send it back again. Fast forward a few more weeks, and they cemented her tooth back in, only to have it come out the next day. I was getting pretty frustrated and starting to lose hope that this was going to work, but luckily we have a very caring (new) dentist who took the time to listen to me and understand why it was so important for her tooth to be in, and he came up with a new solution: we are going to wait about a month for her back molars to come in and then re-make the bands to fit on the back teeth (which is the ideal spot anyway). I just hope so badly this new solution works. In the mean time, Brynn has figured out this dentist thing and is the best patient. She walks right in, sits on the chair, tells them what smell she wants for her laughing gas, tells the assistant it smells like coconuts (no matter what the smell is) and then informs all of us that she doesn't want the headphones on, she will just watch the movie. She basically has us all laughing at her cuteness. Oh, and by the way, Brynn was completely off binkies, but we told her she could have them when we go to the dentist... bribery at its finest.
But how can you resist this cutie on the potty?
I got my hairs did this month, so here's a bunch of selfies on good hair days.
We had a family movie day at the movie theater.
Selfies in the car because your 3 year old falls asleep. I thought we were supposed to be done with naps by this age?
Tyler and I went on a cleanse diet this month. We could have unlimited veggies, so we had to come up with some creative ways to get our veggies in... I present to you... steak cabbage. It was really good!
This little cutie likes to run errands with me and thinks the mannequins at the store are all objects for her to pose next to.
Makayla has just blossomed in reading this year. She loves to read, and it just makes my nerdy English teacher side burst with joy! Makayla loves "Ready Freddy" books and can read the whole book in a day.
Makayla and Caden had great reports at Parent Teacher Night, so we celebrated with ice cream.
The kids talked me into taking them to Arctic Circle because they wanted the bunnies in the kids meal. I seriously paid $17 for them to not eat their lunch and get a toy that probably costs 1.00
Tyler and his family did the trap shoot again this year. It was at the Lee Kay Gun Club. I actually liked it a whole lot better here, but a lot of Tyler's family said it just wasn't the same. Tyler's team was really good, but not good enough to get any awards.
Some weeks were good, and others, not so much.
Family movie night is Brynn's favorite night of the week.
We got a new fire pit. I can just tell a lot of our summer nights will be spent outside with this amazing view.
Brynn follows appropriate safety precautions when she's by the fire.
