dentist

kaidas first time at the dentist. she did AWESOME!! in fact...she keeps asking me if we can go back to the dentist so she can pick another toy.

she has been brushing her teeth faithfully every morning and night with her new princess toothbrush and toothpaste. I dont even have to ask her. wow

Went back a couple days later to fill a cavity (Does that mean im a horrible mother)

...total freak out...we finally got her to take the laughing gas and she was literally LAUGHING and giggling 2 min later and loved every minute of the drill and all sorts of tools in her mouth. what a kid.

the party

the big day finally came. kaida has been waiting for her birthday for some time now...asking how many more sleeps since christmas..

she had so much fun opening presents..and there were a bunch!

Jaks was having just as much fun as Kaida...look at their faces.ha

her very own camera. she always has a princess doll in her hands...always

i made her wait till 8 am to open her presents so dad could watch her on skype.

Grandma Grace loves my kids, which is awesome because she had her stroke before I had kids...and she remembers them and their names and loves when they come to visit.

So we went to see grandma because she wanted to give kaida a present.

i thought it was cute that they had matching fingernails!

poor boy fell out of his highchair and smacked his head. i was sad

he is eating a worthers at grandmas

everyone came for kaidas party...even my brother rob and julie.

jaks was having a blast

all she wanted for her bday dinner was FRIES....definatly her moms girl....love fries.

Oh you poor ariel...yes..that is my work...she looks like she is in need of a nose job.

its true..she is a big girl now

we have been prepping her for her 4th birthday for some time now.

you are going to be a big girl when you turn 4, and big girls dont need blankies to suck on.

ever since she was a baby she has sucked on blankets. blankies made bedtime a breeze. when she was sad, all she would need was a blankie to make her feel better {and a hug }. they just made my life a little easier. but they STINK...literally. they are beyond sour by the next morning...yuck.

so she proved to us that she could be a big girl and let the "blankie fairy" come take her blankies to the little babies that needed them. and oh my...she did awesome...she hasnt bugged me for a blankie. wa hoo

so the last post was a picture of kaida giving her blankies {in the green grocery bag} one last goodbye before she went to bed so the blankie fairy could swing by and get them {and hopefully leave something in return}

here she is on the morning of her 4th birthday...showing her dad via skype what the blankie fairy left her.

she woke up at 6:30 which is not normal {my kids like thier sleep} because she was just too excited!!

love this picture
