Last weekend we got to go to Albany to visit Brian and Christine (and Lincoln). The main reason for the trip was so I could take advantage of Brian's new dentist skills to fix my broken filling, but we've been wanting to go visit them anyway. It was so much fun hanging out with them. We really wish we lived closer!
Brian is quite the dentist and I am very proud of him. He has worked really hard to get where he is now. I got to hang out at the office for awhile and hear him interact with his patients. He has such a gift with people and really makes people feel comfortable! He fixed me right up!
Tyler got to come along and gave his best argument for why he needs dentures.
Brian considered, but in the end it couldn't be. Poor Tyler.
Later Ben came with the two older boys. Brian told Jake he could pick a prize out of the treasure chest if he sat in the dentist chair. Brian had just enough time to count Jake's teeth and then Jake was done. He hopped out of the chair and ran straight for his prize.
After sitting with a terribly worried look on his face all morning and being close to tears, Cameron decided to let Brian "count" his teeth so he could choose a prize from the treasure chest too. When Brian got going, Cameron decided getting your teeth cleaned really isn't scary and is actually very cool.
He got the works, including bubble gum flavored flouride treatment.
He was so proud of his clean teeth.
He just kept showing them off!
And he got a cool foam airplane just like Jake.
Finally, it was Ben's turn. He had a great dental assistant helping him.
Brian cleaned and cleaned...
And cleaned some more.
Anything to keep Ben's beautiful smile looking good!
After our trip to the dentist, we were able to play the rest of the weekend. A trip to Izzy's, golfing for the boys, Costco and Target fun, playing in the backyard, reorganizing furniture, playing with Lincoln, hanging up Brian's new TV, watching the BYU football game, going to the park, having a date night at home with Johnny Carino's takeout while the kids slept...so much fun.
I wish my camera battery would have been charged so I could have taken more pictures. I really wish I had a picture of Cam, Jake, and Lincoln standing on empty baskets and watching the garbage truck out the window on Friday morning (it made about 12 passes for some reason).
On our way back home, Ben thought of an ingenious way to turn our stroller in to a triple stroller. Everyone in the airport was looking at us. A girl said, "You have to get a picture of that!" so I did. (Don't worry, one of us was always holding on to Tyler.)
Thanks for all the fun Brian and Christine! We can't wait to come again!
