The Dentist

A few posts ago you saw that my kids were nervous about going to the dentist and we went with our friends to watch them. Well this time it was my kids turn. They were totally fine with going. No problems, not nervous or scared.
Jake getting his x-rays done.  
 Such a big boy!
 James having his x-rays
 Ready for his cleaning. 
Being so good!
Papa looking at Jake's teeth. I was very concerned with Jake's teeth. He has such deep grooves and I can not even get them clean sometimes. Also he doesn't let me brush his teeth all the time. We take turns. He does the mornings, I do the nights. So just as I suspected my poor little guy had a cavity!! I wasn't surprised but I was so sad for him! A cavity at 4 years old! I just got my first cavity last year! He must have his Dad's teeth! ;)
 Papa cleaning James' teeth!
James' teeth were great!
 I took Jake back to get his filling done. Papa didn't want to give him the shot so he set it up with another dentist to do it. Well, Jake was not having it. He wouldn't even look at the other dentist! So Papa was going to have to give him the shot. He was all set to give it to him when Jake started freaking out and put his hands over his mouth. I tried to grab his hands to hold him down but that wasn't going to work. Papa didn't want to do it if Jake wasn't going to let him. So now we are going to go to a pediadontist. Ugh...so sad.

Boys Birthday Party

We had a smaller party this year for the boys Birthdays. Just the family, still about 27 people! They wanted to have an Angry Birds party AGAIN, so we decided to do Angry Birds in Space. I got quite crafty making all the decor myself. 
I made this sign... 
 I made these containers with some golden eggs.
 I made cupcakes and the angry bird cupcake toppers
 more cupcakes...
 I used angry birds for the centerpiece
and decor
 We got a small bounce house since there was only 6 little kids, but they didn't have angry birds so we opted for Cars. The kids had fun and it kept them busy!

Jake with Angry Bird eyebrows

Jake for some reason wanted nothing to do with blowing out his candle. So he wasn't around when we sang Happy Birthday
Andi and James

Putting together legos
Michael and Ian playing
Ava and Jade playing
James in his new jammies with Ava
They had lots of fun and were so excited about all their new toys! 
The next day playing with some new toys.
Craig took James for an early Birthday present to the skate shop to pick out his own skateboard. I thought it would take him forever to decide, he is so indecisive. I guess he saw "the one" and he insisted on it right away!
Trying it out.

My boys are growing up!!


WInter Formal

A couple weeks ago Brianna went with Chase to his Winter Formal. It was in Manhattan Beach. It was the first dance I didn't get to see her with her date. :( kinda sad. Only one more formal high school dance to go!

Jake's 4th Birthday

Well I pretty much failed my 30 challenge since the last time I posted was over a week ago! Maybe I didn't make it through the 30 days but I think it has helped me to remember to post more. I did think about posting a lot in the last week. I just never got around to it!
On Wednesdays we always have dinner at my Mom's house and last Wednesday we celebrated Jake's Birthday because on his Birthday, the next day, we were going to Disneyland. 
Jake made muffins with Nonni to bring to his class for his Birthday.
Birthday Boy and Brother
Blowing out his candles
 Yummy cake
 Opening his presents, skylanders!!
 And a skylander stuffed animal
Jake had school on his Birthday. He wore this special hat all day! A kid in his class asked him why he was wearing that hat and he said, "Because I am the Birthday Boy." So cute! 
 James' Valentine's bag
After the kids got out school we went to Disneyland! 

 Jake and I on Mater's ride!
 James & Brianna 
 Chase giving Jake a piggy back ride! So funny. Jake couldn't even hold onto him.

 Sunday we went to Nonna and Grandpy's house and Nonna had a special Birthday surprise for Jake!
 Jake had a pretty great Birthday and weekend! 
Today on our Presidents Day off we were out running errands and stumbled into Watson's Drug Store for Ice-cream and root-beer floats! 
 So yummy!
