Cabo!!

We went to Cabo last week for a wedding --- sans kiddos!! What a nice, relaxing getaway. Favorite part? Lying by the pool all day, every day reading... At 24 wks prego I wasn't looking my best but that was of no concern!! We all are already in the planning phase of our next trip. Hmmm, where to go?!

Forrest, Maurie, Justice & Jonathan on the rehearsal dinner cruise. Very nice and great idea!!

We snagged the gorgeous bride, Sierra, on the dinner cruise for a quick pic. Isn't she stunning!!!??

We picked up the rascal this morning at Jonathan's Moms (C's Mam-ma). My Mom had her a few nights then Jonathan's Mom took over. Thanks, Moms!! Anyway, our arrival was sooo cute! Jonathan and I walked in, and she started waving her arms up and down with raised eyebrows and a huge smile. Dr. Duhon was on a trip to China and Japan when we were in Mexico, and he brought back this SUPER CUTE and hilarious outfit and hat for C. Hard to see in pic but the hat has a long, black braid attached, which is over C's shoulder. Our very own China doll!!!

And my Dad was busy using his new iphone apps to play with pictures I sent him! Oh my. He was also gone at the same time as us on a trip to Hawaii. He managed some time to play with his iphone. How funny are these!? I guess I need to retire the blackberry soon.

My Dad used the "crazy hair day" at school pic for this photo manipulation. Hilarious!!

His latest creation...

C's First Dentist Appt!!

Cecilia had her first dentist appt this week at ~17 months old. Ok, so this does seem a little early.;) I know!! I'm crazy; I admit it. Wasn't the old recommendation to take them at three yrs old??... anyway - now, it's one. Per my AAP reference book, "Both the American Academy of Pediatrics and the American Academy of Pediatric Dentistry recommend that all children see a pediatric dentist and establish a 'dental home' by age one." Ok, I'm basically trying to make myself feel a little better about being crazy!!! Did she really need to see one right now? Hmmm, jury's out but oh well now!

Anyway, C did GREAT!! Jonathan's Mom and I took her, and we couldn't believe how good she was!! She brushed her teeth for the dentist, let him brush her teeth, let him look in her mouth with the "baby mirror," as he put it, etc.

Having fun in the waiting room. Yes, she was the youngest kiddo there.;)

Yep - getting into everything before the dentist came in...

Open wide!!

Wait, I get a Winnie the Pooh toothbrush!!? Yippy!!

All those pearly whites are coming in just perfect!!:)

Nurse, hand me my next tool please...

Almost done...!! Success!

Beaching it!!

We went to Orange Beach this weekend with the Hartels. Maurie's parents have a condo there - a big thanks to her wonderful parents for letting these two wildcats loose! We tried keeping the crumbs and stains to a minimum!!

Maurie and I were going to leave with the girls Thursday after MDO, but our sitter called that morning and sounded awful. She was sick!! Panic set in, as I frantically text messaged Maurie about our next move... which was - FIND ANOTHER SITTER!! So she and I began calling and texting girls and found someone! W.h.e.w.!! She couldn't leave until Friday morning (pooey!!) but Friday was better than no sitter at all! So, Friday morning we got an early start with the girls and the sitter. The girls were GREAT on the drive. We didn't stop once, and they kept each other entertained. They were too cute. We even ate lunch out when we arrived, and they were STILL good. Shocker! While there, we took them to the beach and pool - then had adult nights out for dinner and breakfast. Oh, how nice that was!! We can't wait to go back with these girls. They kept us smiling the entire time - and we got some much needed adult time in.
