Who says we need money to live?

I went back to work today. Tears were shed. They were mine. MiniB was perfect, as always.

White Coats

Well Hoss is back to the grind of school. He had his white coat ceremony where he and his fellows agreed to follow the Dental Code of Ethics, which makes me laugh a bit, I just think you would have to try really hard to be unethical with teeth, but what do I know.

Proud Wifey and Daughter

I was a little worried about MiniB, she had her first round of shots right before the ceremony, but she was great and just watched the whole time. (Thanks Jaelynne for the tip to dose with Tylenol before going to the pediatrician!) For the record, her ears don't stick out at all, it's all my fault for putting a headband on her.

I didn't realize how well we coordinated our outfits until I saw this picture, all the way down to Hoss's tie!

This was the first and probably last time Hoss will wear his white coat. They have to wear scrubs in clinic and don't even get to wear the coats. Good thing the school paid for them, no wait, pretty sure we paid for the coat with tuition. Great investment. Thanks CU.

17 months down 27 months to go!

Holidaze...days ago

Better late than never, I realize Christmas was 42 days ago but we still had a great time and it's worth being immortalized in the blogosphere.

We spent Christmas with Hoss's family...


Mini B wasn't super excited about her first Christmas, I am pretty sure it was just a blur for her, but we sure had fun with her! We didn't get any pix of MiniB with her cousin Brady because the poor little guy was sick, but I am sure they will be best friends next year.

We spent New Year's with my family. It was so fun to have 4 cousins around!

Li'l Mil and I read lots of books.

Nano pulled everything off of this shelf and then got stuck inside of it. I couldn't help but take a picture before I helped her out of it. I am the best aunt ever!

Grandpa was generous enough to share his sweater with MiniB to keep her warm.


MiniB used her baby speak to entice her cousins to come play with her.

Li'l Mil was in the midst of potty training and with the cheers he got from Grandma, Grandpa, and all of his aunts and uncles I think he has it down.

Step 1: Go to the bathroom.
Step 2: Burst through the door and yell "I goed poooopoooooooooo"
Step 3: Hug everyone because of course we were all so proud.
Step 4: Get M&M's.

Ahh, life is good when the simple things get rewarded with M&M's.

We had MiniB's blessing on the 3rd of January. Thanks Grandma M for the beautiful dress!

Hoss's family was able to come down and it was the first time he and all 8 of his siblings were together in over a year.

We couldn't have asked for a better holiday!
