Expanding!!!

My little buddy had an expander put in his mouth about a week ago. At first he couldn't talk normal, so he went around sounding like he had an English accent for a day. This was mainly because he is dramatic, and he of course was milking it. His speech has improved since and we are already starting to see a space between his front teeth, yeah!

Annual Fam Bday Partay!

This year for the annual family birthday party we had a dinosaur theme up at my parents ranch in Idaho. My sis in law JoDee always comes up with the most creative games, and this year she did not disappoint! I love hanging out with my family and we always have a great time.

Sloane loved riding the 4 wheelers!

Brevan loved hanging out with the older boys...
AND GIRLS!!!! But do you blame him? They are adorable!

One of the games was digging for "dinosaur" bones that were really cow bones in disguise.... Had to be my Mom's idea. :)

This one was my favorite... The kids had to run through an obstacle course and then pop a "dinosaur egg" to get the dinosaur stickers inside. Brev was on the opposite team as Sloane, so I was trying my hardest to help Sloane's team beat him.

We also had a scavenger hunt...

Jeff helped Carly with her list, and found someway to incorporate a nasty grasshopper!
They exchanged gifts, and Jaycie recieved dishes. Apparently, you are never to old for play dishes. :)
Okay, so my sister has this new puppy that can literally sleep through anything! You can pass her around and she doesn't wake up. Love her.

We wrapped up with cupcake decorating and a couple more games, one involved constructing dinosaur skeleton sculptures.

Bye Bye Baby :(

So we have decided this weekend is when we are going to put Sloane into a "big girl" bed. I am having mixed emotions about this move... It is so hard to let go of the baby stuff, but on the other hand I am excited to redo her room. This crib has been used for both of my kiddos, I wonder if it will ever be used again... :) This will definitely be staying for awhile.. I am not worrying about potty training until this winter.
Bye Butterflies, or as Sloane says it "nigh nigh bu-fy"
