The Zoo

Last Friday I took the day off so I could watch my nephews. We went to the zoo, it was super hot, but it was fun to see all the animals.



Parker was so excited to see all the animals. I asked him what animal he wanted to see the most, and he told me that he wants to see the stinky ones. Tanner was a big help with his little brothers, he is so grown up. Conner is 3, which means tantrums through out the zoo but for the most part he was ok. Except for when I asked him to hold my hand so he wouldn't get lost, he would yell "Dont touch me!!!". I think people thought I beat him...


The last animal we saw was the white alligator. He isnt albino, he just has some random skin disease, and thats why he is white. I tried to educate myself before I took the boys to the zoo, so that way they thought aunt Katie was super smart. Turns out there are only 10 gators like this in the whole world. He had blue, almost purple eyes, and in the same place they had baby alligators too.

We wrapped up the day by getting lunch and then going home to have Andy and Lee tease the boys until Matt came to pick them up. Who said teasing isnt good for ya?

My dress

So ignore my face. My mom was taking pictures when I was not aware she was taking pictures. I really was excited....

This is the dress, it should be ready in a few weeks, and then I can add my last little detail to it, and its done!

And just like that, the sun shine agains..

Today is a Monday for sure! Work is ok, but then there are all kinds of things that I have been reported to me today. I hate being stressed out. I love how a certain song or video can completely change your mood. Whenever I am annoyed or sad I watch this certain video on youtube. It is hilarious. Its this little red head kid, who is soooo excited to be in a school program. I love his enthusiasm and how the other kids next to him react.

Be sure to watch the whole thing, its hilarious all to the end.

The Dress...

My dress is here. I have tried it on, and gotten it fitted. The alterations should be done mid August. I have pictures of the dress... but I totally forgot to load them. I did show Lee my dress, which I know is against the "rules". But the "rules" are lame.

The Dentist AKA Torture...

Yesterday I went to the dentist. I wasn't worried about it, since I had braces I felt like I could handle to pain associated with the dentist. I hadn't been in for a checkup in 3 or 4 years so I thought I should get it taken care of before I get married...

Well, as part of having braces I have a permanent retainer on my bottom teeth because even after having my braces, two teeth keep moving, so they put that sucker in there to hold my teeth tight. Part of my retainer had broken off, so the dentist felt that he needed to trim the entire retainer with a drill....that felt really nice. Nothing like a drill being put into your gums...

I have to go back two more times, because I am having my fillings replaced to be white, rather than the gorgeous silver ones I have now. They will do one side at a time. The one perk about going to a new dentist is they offer free teeth whitening, so after I get all my work done my teeth will be glow in the dark white. Much like that one episode of Friends when Ross whitened his teeth...
