Stella's First Dentist Appointment

Back in January, Stella had her first dentist appointment. Stella has gone from having major white coat syndrome when she was younger to really liking going to the doctor and dentist. She goes with me to the dentist, orthodontist, doctor, and even sits on my lap when I get my blood drawn...so I guess a dental exam is no big deal!  She was such a champ and was able to get a full cleaning and x-rays. By the way, if you are looking for a dentist, Fenton Family Dentistry is the best dentist office I have EVER been to...and I've been to a few!

Watching the monkey brush his teeth on the screen. Best. Idea. Ever.

Looking at her teeth in the giant mirror. (I'm guessing that thing has a different name.)

Special glasses to protect her eyes.

Cooperating with our hygienist, Mary Anne for x-rays.

Holding so still during x-rays. She is such a good girl!

Time for a cleaning!

No cavities and time for a prize!  (She looks thrilled, doesn't she?!) 

Meet Rico the Giraffe

Rico the Giraffe aka Rico Suave' Joyal joined our family on Christmas and was a gift from Santa. Stella loves stuffed animals, and even though Rico is as big as she is, she still seems to include him in everything she can!

Easter Twenty Thirteen

We met the Easter Bunny at Purina Farms.

We dyed eggs with Curt and Debby.

We turned the eggs into silly people.

We played with the eggs.

On Easter morning, we looked for eggs hidden by the Easter Bunny.

We ate candy from the Easter Bunny.

We played with toys left by the Easter Bunny.

We tried Peeps for the first time, and didn't like them. 

We tried on Tayten's mustaches...

...and admired Tayten and his new facial hair. 

The BEST part of Easter was that we got to spend it with Olivia, Kailey, Tayten, Kolby, and Robin!

Happy Easter!

The Places We Go

We went to some fun, new places in March. First off was Dream Play. Dream Play is the warehouse/store for Rainbow Play sets. You can pay $5 and play on all of their awesome play sets and trampolines. It's kind of like a park, except for air-conditioned and heels don't get stuck in the grass. Our next new spot was Myseum. Myseum has a little bit of everything. It's a mix between the science museum, children's museum, and a bounce house. That same night, we went bowling with Jeremy's co-workers and families. His department reserved a private room with our own bar, food service, and lanes. That's the way to bowl! Finally, Stella and I made it to Purina Farms. We met the Easter bunny, played with all sorts of animals and watched a great dog show. We sure are going to miss all of the fun things to do in St. Louis!
