Payton's First Trip to the Dentist

     Today, I took a sick day to take the girls to Dyersburg for their dentist appointments. This was Payton's first trip to the dentist and she did great. Rylee Love got a got report, and the dentist said everything looked good for Payton, too. Her 2 year molars are nearly all the way in. The dentist did mention that Payton has a significant crossbite that will likely require minor oral surgery to correct around the age of 7. He said it's mainly cosmetic, but can also cause minor speech impediment until it is corrected. He mentioned it may have been caused by an overly strong sucking reflex that she would have been born with, and this could also be why it took a long time to be able to wean her off the pacifier.

    Both girls behaved very well and were rewarded with a trip to Chik-fil-a following their appointments. This was the perfect way to spend a "sick" day.

Bailey's Birthday and Valentine's Day

     Friday, the kids had their class Valentine's parties. They got to enjoy treats and pass out little Valentine's cars to all their friends. They both had a blast.

     Saturday was Bailey's birthday party. I can't believe she is 6! I seriously wish time would slow down!! She had her party at Bounce With Us and the kids had a blast jumping and playing games. After her party we headed to her house to have lunch with Grandma and Grandpa, Liz  and Brandon, and of course Chuck and Mary. It was a lot of fun. The kids had a blast trying out all of Bailey's new toys.

     Today is Valentine's Day. The girls woke up to their Valentine's from us, Reese's hearts, dancing animals, and new flip-flops. The were thrilled. They danced witht heir animals until it was time for church.

    We got ready for church and headed that way, only to get a call when we were almost there that the parking lot had iced over and was too dangerous to hold church today. So back home we went. Ryan went over to his parents' house to visit with Mel and her kiddos, the kids and I stayed home because Austin was running fever, and we are trying to go 1 week this cold and flu season without someone being sick... All in all, we had a good Valentine's day. Maybe they can actually wear these outfits out of the house next year... haha.
