Ki's First dental Appointment

We finally went to Brett's school for Ki's First Dental Exam. He did GREAT and he had NO CAVITIES!! Brett and I were so proud of him.

Nate's Surgery

Nate was born with a birth mark on top of his head. Within the birth mark there were several small black moles that the doctor was concerned about. So when Nate was 6 months old he was referred to the chief pediatric plastic surgeon at UCSF childrens hospital who has seen and removed several similar birthmarks. He booked his surgery just before Nate's first birthday to try and remove most of the dark circle. He does have to do the surgery again because they weren't able to get it all, but not for 6 more months. As Nate's mother I felt confident in the doctors decision but also so helpless. It was really hard to watch Nate have to go through such a big and painful thing. But he made it through and healed up really fast. He's our brave little man!

Canada Day and July 4th

Happy Canada Day!

Ki and Nate had so much fun watching the Raymond parade

Happy 4th of July!

We drove down to great Falls with my parents and MiKen to watch fireworks in the Walmart parking lot for the 4th of July. I missed the fireworks show because we had to wait so long for them and I finally had to go to the bathroom. Bad timing I guess. Oh well there is always next year, right?

The boys actually slept really well in the moter home

Miken got her wisdom teeth out right before we left
to go across the border. She's a trooper and so brave!

Every year my mom puts together a
American/ Canadian Flag cake. So yummy!
