Childrens Garden

June 11th Michael's Grandparents and Aunt were in Cheyenne so we drove up to see them all. That afternoon we took the boys to the Children's Garden in Cheyenne. It is so beautiful and Joshua had a blast, Will took a nap in the stroller. They had several sand play areas, a puppet theater, some places to play chess and other games, a pond, you could plant flowers (if you brought your own), Joshua and I even had a potato sack race. I plan on going back there a lot this year.

Will's first Thanksgiving!

We had a wonderful Thanksgiving this year in Cheyenne. We drove over Thursday morning and spent the day with Michael's Dad, Mom, and Sister. Will had a fun time soaking in all the attention. Joshua did too!

We had a wonderful spread of food. Sweet potato casserole, green bean casserole, mashed potatoes, gravy, stuffing, turkey, rolls, and pies. Yum. Joshua actually ate most of the meal and really enjoyed the sweet potatoes. Who wouldn't?

Will got his first tooth on Thanksgiving!! It was very exciting. I was playing 'Peek-a-boo' with him on the ground and discovered the tooth.


First tooth. His left front tooth, it is very tiny but it's there.




What a cutie!


Joshua doesn't like getting his picture taken so this was the best one I got.


Turkey name cards Joshua made.

Second trip to the dentist

Monday we drove to Cheyenne so Joshua could go to the Children dentistry there. He didn't enjoy going too much last time but I really talked it up this time and he was very excited to go. He asked me all last week when he would be able to go to the dentist and then on Monday he didn't want to go to his Grammy's house until he had been to the dentist. I am glad he was excited and had a great trip. He let the hygienist clean his teeth and he even let the doctor check him too. The last time we went Joshua screamed when he had to get his teeth checked by the doctor. I am so thankful our insurance covers the entire visit, Joshua loves the clinic and as long as we live there I plan on going back.

Sorry the pictures are in reverse order. I can never get it straight!


This picture is of Joshua getting his prize at the end of the visit for being such a good boy. He got two tokens for one prize, this was right up his alley because he LOVES turning quarters to get prizes. On the opposite wall is a big bulletin board for names of kids who are cavity free. At the end of the month his name goes in a drawing. For what I don't know, and yes he was cavity free!!!
