Cameron's first dental visit


I have to start out by saying my kids make me so proud. They are such good patients at the dentist and doctors office. I wasn't sure how Cameron would do today at the dentist but he was super! He sat in the chair all by himself and let me clean and polish his teeth AND he's not even two! He doesn't even have all of his baby teeth yet. He actually cried when I took Karli in first because he wanted to go. Karli always does great, so I wasn't surprised. Good news both kids are cavity free! Good job guys!

Getting used to Cabo


Karli seems to only like Cabo when he is resting. She is a little scared of him when he is in his play mode. She tells me to lock him up. Cameron is actually better at telling him down and no bite than Karli is. If Cabo is chewing on one of her toys, she will tell Cameron to go get it from him instead of getting it from him herself.

Happy Birthday Sam!


Yesterday we celebrated Sam's 6th birthday. We joined the family for Sponge Bob cake and ice cream. Cameron looked forward to seeing lee-da-lee (his cousin Natalie).

We've been busy all week with the puppy! Thursday Cabo played with Kim and Eric's dogs, (Austin and Daisy). Friday Cabo went to the vet. Saturday and Sunday we started getting him used to the leash and went on a few walks. We are noticing that he seems to be a much calmer dog than Jager was.....so far! The picture makes it look like he has blue eyes.

Our new addition....




We have been talking about a new puppy for a while. The deal was when Karli slept in her own bed for a month straight she could have a puppy. She has been doing that for over a month now! Today we went to pick out our new puppy. He is an 8 week old Golden retriever and as sweet as can be! We named him Cabo (after Chris' Cabo Tequila/Sammy Hagar obsession). We told Karli he already had a name (dad was set on this name) so she gave him the middle name Max.

Finally a slide show

Below is a slide show from our trip to Cozumel. We had a great time! We snorkeled and saw lots of interesting and beautiful things! We rented a convertible VW to explore the east side of the island. The island was 35 miles round trip, so it didn't take very long to get around. Many of the pictures are views from our hotel or the beaches. I haven't developed my under water camera pictures yet, but if they turn out, I'll try to scan some pictures in of the coral, sea turtles, fish etc. I know we weren't in Jamaica, but I like Bob Marley.

Scary moment

After we picked Karli up from school today, we came home to have lunch. All of a sudden Cameron made an unpleasant sound and I looked over and he was choking! I screamed for Chris and told him what was happeening. I couldn't get those high chair straps off him fast enough. I flipped him over on my knee, one back blow, and out flew a chunk of pineapple. I was in tears, Karli was in tears because she was scared with all of the commotion, but thankfully everything was OK. I told Chris it was a good thing he was home because I felt like I panicked. He made a good point....I did what I was supposed to do. I guess all that health training pays off. I never thought I would be giving my children back blows! Yes, Cameron is doing fine!
