Happy 8th Birthday Buddy!

Taylor turned eight, can you believe it? I can't! He is so big. He is such a sweetheart, and a great big brother.

After eight years of sucking his fingers, Taylor finally broke the habit! We are SO proud of him. He had a sticker chart and had to go five weeks without sucking his fingers and his daddy told him if he could do it by his birthday he would give him 100 dollars! Way to go Taylor, we are so excited you could do it! Easton wanted in on the action so, he earned 5 bucks for washing his hands better for the five weeks!

Taylor chose Tucanos for his birthday dinner, he is quite the carnivore! The whole family came to pig out and celebrate Taylor turning eight!

Tay dancing on his chair while they sang to him!

After dinner it was back to our house for cake and presents! I gave Taylor a cute book and he decided to read it for all of us!

And shocker... he got a couple of dinosaurs!

easiest cake EVER! Taylor decided for his birthday cake he wanted dirt cups! I was happy to make him this intense cake!

Love you munchkin, thank you for being you!

A Day at the Zoo!

It was such a great day we had so much fun with our awesome family!

A Trip to the Dentist!

It was check up time for the boys, and Hayleigh's first visit to the dentist. After watching her brothers get their X-rays she hopped right up in the chair and let the girl take her pictures! She was great!

Then it was time for cleaning, counting and cavity checking!

All the kiddos were fabulous! Taylor got away cavity free. Easton and Hayleigh weren't quite as lucky. They both had a cavity or two that had to be fixed! Here are my kids showing off there clean pearly whites... and of course their prizes!

We went back a few days later for Easton and Hayleigh to get their cavities filled. They were both very brave and did a great job! The both had me giggling on the happy gas!

I was very proud of them for being so brave! Hopefully we will just have to have the cleaning in six months!
