Pearly Whites, Puppy Love and "They're Off"

The most amazing thing happened this week... my little Bug, who is not a big fan of having me brush her teeth (even though she loves to try to brush her teeth herself) had her first dentist appointment. I was expecting hysterics and zero cooperation, but was hoping for the best, as I took all three kids at the same time and thought she might watch them and see what it was all about. Low and behold, she stood up on the stool and allowed the hygienist to paint her teeth blue, brush her teeth and ALL!! Then, marched right over to the dental chair, protested a tiny bit when the dentist came in with his scary looking magnifying glasses, then laid down to watch Monsters Inc in the ceiling (way cool... they did not have that when I was a kid), opened her mouth and allowed them to count, clean, polish and paint fluoride on her teeth. I was absolutel floored at how well she cooperated!! I almost wanted to cry she looked so cute laying there with her mouth open!!



What a big girl!


Check out my pearly whites!!


Sophie is warming up to the puppy... she was a bit jealous of his cuteness and attention for the first few days. We are learning to be gentle with him just like she is with the other doggies.

Mommy, is this how you hold him gently??


Giggle, giggle, Tucker is tickly!!


Check out those gorgeous lashes!! No mascara needed for her someday!!


Today, we went to Churchill Downs to celebrate a friend of mine, G's baby girl "E" coming home!! I cannot believe that I have never taken Morgan and Grant to the track before... quite a way to go for the first time as we were in the Jockey Suites on the top floor of the clubhouse... beautiful!! We did not win any money, but had a fun time trying!!

The day was absolutely beautiful!

This has to be the winning ticket, Mommy!!


And they're off!!


This was the turf race named in honor of Baby E's Homecoming!! Lucky number 7 won!!


Rats Mommy... this ticket on the ground must mean we didn't bet on Number 7!!


Here we are in front of the Twin Spires! It was such a fun day!


Love and FROG!!
