Monkey is gone…

Ever since Brock turned one, Dr. C suggested that we start getting Brock’s teeth cleaned…really dude? Can I have what-ever-it-is that you’re smoking? So I thought…okay. We have a live-in dental hygienist (AKA Nana). She agreed with me, there was NO WAY this one year old would sit for a cleaning. So she said…”Let’s try when he’s two!”

So the big two came and went and there was NO WAY Brock would even attempt. We brought him to our cleaning appointment and he cried the entire time Jeremy was getting his teeth cleaned. So when the two year well check came…I just KNEW he was going to examine his teeth…but instead Dr. C said. “Continuing with the yearly dentist exams?  You did do that right?????”

At this point, I did what all protective, tantrum avoiding, moms do…cross fingers behind back and say… Yep…sure did!

I totally lied and didn’t feel bad…I thought-YOU take this doctor hatin’ boy to a  dentist! Anyway-Nana checked his teeth periodically and suddenly he was THREE and still no cleaning. That monkey on my back began to tighten his grip…So I used the same technique as last year…LIED, LIED, LIED to Dr C and promised myself he WOULD get them done before he was four!

Well guess who LOVED getting his teeth cleaned? He was WONDERFUL, NO TEARS and even did a little flossin’!

 

I guess it kinda helps when Nana is cleaning your teeth!

Dad-en….

This post is for you Jeremy…I know you secretly read my blog and get excited when I post…so since it is Father’s Day…This one is for you!

You’ve been a great Daddy to Brock and here’s why….

It started before Brock was even  born. You told me how good I looked here…So it must have been that precious baby Brock in my belly..because this pictures makes my stomach turn! B-R-I-C-K- HOOOOOUSE!

 

(Above) my due date…2-28-07

You’ve always made time to love on Brock…usually right when you step through the door.

You’ve endured endless “photo shoots” with me behind the camera and you holding Brock. This was one of my favorites and the first of many of you two.  Also, the professional ones that we take…I know how much you LOVE those, but do them anyway!

You are always there for me and Brock. You came to each doctor appointment when Brock was really sick and had to get shots. You always took off work and made it to BOTH tube surgeries.

I know there will be more to come, right?…but taking Brock to Georgia, fishing, riding four-wheelers and doing Father and Son things make you oh so HOT to me!

Brock is still talking about this cold trip to GA…remember, that four-wheeler ride????

You always do the things I don’t like to…Cleaning up, videoing, outside things, swimming in cold water…the list goes on. But you always do it!  

Brock and I love you…We appreciate all you do for us, but I really appreciate your value of family and how you put Brock and me first. We love you! Happy Father’s Day! 

 

   

 

Happy Father’s Day 2010!

Wordless Wednesday

 

The Countdown in on…

Brock has been really looking forward to this week, because Friday we will FINALLY get to see…. \

As I type this we are watching Toy Story 2…which to me is just as cute as the first one.

In addition to Toy Story… this week is also exciting because SCHOOL IS OUT!!!!! I just can’t express my excitement. No more …..

Lots of this….

And these people will be greeting me EVERY morning…

And also…this lil guy will make my days alot BRIGHTER!

Oh Happy Summer!

Gaylord Palms

I am trying out Windows Live Writer...supposed to be an easier way to blog...maybe if it is easier..I'll do it!

Anyway, the weekend before Mother's Day we went to Disney World. The best part was staying at Gaylord Palms. We had all intentions to spend Friday night and Saturday at a Disney park...Magic Kingdom or Hollywood Studios. Friday night we hit up the Kingdom…after getting on the wrong monorail…However, all Brock wanted to do was swim in this pool.

I mean..can you blame him? Obviously...his Daddy couldn't resist either!

It also gave Brock and I a chance to catch up...and have some great conversations in the pool.

That evening we meet our cousins at Margaritaville and got to see Spiderman at City Walk. Brock bought two different Spidy action figures and they were $30! Dang Spiderman…get off it! I didn’t think they would be that much, so I didn’t check the price!

We ended our weekend traveling through 15 different toll bridges in Orlando, finally found an ice cream shop, and played with those pricey action figures! We had a great weekend!

So what?

So I am back from my hiatus! We all need a hiatus every once in a while!

But anyway, I am back. I am not sure what happened in April...but May was...well...let's just say it was a roller coaster and we are glad to be back on the ground!

I just had to tell y'all I won a Wii game from Want Not! I was entry number 99 and I won! YAY! It's Sandlot Sluggers!

I can't wait for Brock ot see it. He has morphed into a 10 year old baseball player. He REFUSES to wear anything that doens't have a Nike check or a baseball player. He will NO LONGER wear Gap shirts because "dat teddy bear is for babies". Please Gap...change your logo for your toddler sizes! I have to agree with Brock...it is a little baby-ish!

We've been doing a lil re-decorating 'round here. Can't wait to post pics of Brock's new room! If you know where I can find some CUTE boyish baseball decor...please let me know!

I only have another week of school...praise the LORD! Can't wait to spend summer with my favorite three year old!

I can't leave without a picture of my little Sandlot Slugger...he is getting so big!

I promise...I'll be back soon...well sooner than 2 months!
