Oh to the Dentist we will go!

 We have been visiting the Orthodontist for consultations on Ryan's teeth. The first step was to have 4 teeth pulled to make room for incoming teeth and to give his already permanent front 2 teeth room to hopefully allow mother nature to do some work and less orthodontia work in the future.  So we took Ryan to have "nice meal" at McDonlads right before the procedure, which of course he enjoyed.

Then like a trooper he sat, opened up, and let 4 teeth get pulled out. He had some "happy juice" or nitrous gas, a few injections then a few yanks, and pulls and off he went with a new smile and a loot to give to the tooth fairy and show off to daddy and friends!

We try to make regular dental visits fun and enjoyable, and thanks to a fun dentist they come home with new tooth brushes, toys, and a coupon for a free ice cream cone. :-)

Honor Roll

Chef Boy R- yan!

We have the rule that we don't play on Saturdays until

 after we have done our work and we have had lunch.

Well Ryan was finished with his work, but the rest of us weren't.

He wanted to play so he offered to make lunch...for all of us.

He took orders and made people meals to order.

 he made 2 hot dogs, 2 nachos, and a ham sandwich.

It was enough to make me proud and made my day!

No meal prep or clean up since he used paper plates.

Yay! Now lets go play! :-)

Baseball Time!

 Ryan is excited to be playing baseball again. He is excited to be on a Little League team and to have a coach that teaches as well and not just yells.  We are having fun to start practicing, and little brother Jordan is his little mini me and gets all geared up to "play" too! haha

Buddies

I love how close these two are. They even have the same close your eyes so tight cute smile.

 Ryan is such a great big brother.
