As I said in my last post we just got back from St. George. It was the annual Spring Break trip with my family. It was so beautiful. It was like in the 70's the whole time and not a cloud in the sky. We had so much fun swimming and just being outside. It was just what I needed to get me through the rest of the winter here.

A Quick Update!

We just got back from a beautiful week in St. George and I will post pics as soon as I can. We had a great time with all of the clan. I just wanted to tell a quick story about the dentist visit we had today. A month or so ago we went for the first time to the dentist with Avree. She was so good and let them brush her teeth and she thought all of the tools were so cool. Well turns out she had a couple little cavities. (She takes after her dad, obviously!!) So today we had her appointment to have her fillings done and it was quite entertaining. They do what they call a consciouses sedation for little kids when doing fillings so they give them this stuff make them a little foggy but they are still awake. Well I guess every kid reacts to the medicine differently. Avree was so funny!!! The whole procedure only took about 20 minutes and so I went to the recovery room to get her and she was just laying there. The nurse was sitting with us just making sure that she was o.k. and she brought up Dora. Of course Avree loves Dora and went nuts as soon as she mentioned her. She started singing the songs and telling the nurse about Boots the monkey and even speaking a little Spanish:) That crazy girl!! So we were finally free to go after about a half hour of Dora talk. We got out into the waiting room and I was trying to get her coat on. All the while she can't sit up and is talking 90 miles and hour. So we get it on and she leans over as close to me as she can get and says "I Love You Mooom!" It was the cutest thing ever. Everyone in the waiting room was cracking up. Then she starts counting in Spanish again. I guess it was good entertainment for everyone! They all said goodbye to her and we were off to get Kason at Grandma's. It was quite a funny experience. She entertained my mom and I for the afternoon. My mom even made a video of her trying to walk and falling down a few times. She looked like she was drunk!! So that is our update for now. I will put some pics of St. George on as soon as I get my camera fixed!!
