Colorado Springs Trip

Make a Smilebox scrapbook

We had so much fun visiting my parents this last week. It started with a great drive up (the boys slept for more than half the drive), then dinner at my sister's in-laws and long time friends of the family: Navajo Taco's and fresh fruit...delicious. I was able to see my sister Holly and her family for a whole day before they had to leave and took advantage of it. My nephew Ashton was hilarious and tried to stay as close to Jacob as possible for a lot of the trip. It was so adorable to see them chatting it up during lunchtime...wish I knew what was said. My mom and I took Ashton and my boys to Mr. Biggs and had a blast till it was time to go. Then after naps it was off to the mall where the boys played on the little play area there. After an early goodbye the next morning it was off to the dentist for me.

Normally I'm completely fine with dentists and even enjoyed going to a not so great dentist while I was growing up, but this experience was not for me. After informing the staff I was pregnant and I didn't want x-rays I was coerced into taking two of some trouble areas with a double layer of lead vests...Then what started as a needful crown replacement and three possible fillings turned into five fillings and the crown when they found out that I would be leaving on Thursday and may not be coming back to their office...oh and more x-rays which when I said I was not comfortable with getting more x-rays I was made to feel like a silly child, after all the staff had all had babies and the technician and dentist both felt it was fine to me get more x-rays and the besides the technician this was a quick x-ray machine which minimized exposure and if I really felt hesitant to get more x-rays after already having some the Dentist could come back in and give me another guilt trip about taking care of my teeth so that there would be no trips to the emergency room once we returned to Criag....blah blah blah...I am never going back to this office again and I definitly did not go back to get the rest of the five fillings or the crown done there.

On a better Note the boys had fun with my mom playing ring-around-the rosie, Mouse Trap, and seeing my Abuelito whom I missed seeing because my appointment ended up being three hours long.

The rest of the trip was fun for me. I took the boys to eat lunch with my Dad at Garden of the Gods (really cool red rock formation park), got my haircut (see earlier post), helped decorate for Jolena's open house, did lot's of stampin' and scrappin', hung out with Jolena and her new husband Bill...who is just so cool, went for icecream with my girl cousins and Rosita (new step grandmother), did more craft stuff, went shopping with my mom (another highlight), and relaxed. And to think I get to visit again the first week of May. YAY!

The boys had fun swimming with my parents and going to parks, the library, and playing games in general but were definitly ready to come home and see Dad after two weeks. I have to admit with all the fun it is nice to be back at home and with my husband, even if he has to work this weekend. Hopefully he can make a trip with us sometime soon.
