Dentist was a no-go!
Aubrey had her very first dentist appointment. Almost. Jeremy went first and I hoped that Aubrey would loosen up and see what was going to happen. The whole time Jeremy was getting his teeth cleaned, she kept telling us that she "already brushed her teeth at home."
I knew it was going to be difficult. Aubrey would not even open her mouth! That was that. She refused to cooperate! I found out that she should have 10 teeth on the top and on the bottom. She has 8. I was kind of worried about her teeth because she didn't get her first tooth until 18 months. They suspect that all her teeth coming in will be delayed but no need to worry.
Soooo..... does anyone have suggestions to get a 3 year old to go to the dentist?? Bribes & "Santa is watching" does NOT work!

Best of 2009
I came across The Best of 2009 Blog Challenge today on the 20sb blog inspired by Gwen Bell. Basically every day for the month of December {or just one post if you choose to do so}, you post an answer to a question reflecting on events which occurred in 2009. It’s a fun way to look back and remember what your year was like. Don’t be shy. JOIN IN!
Here's the challenge:
This is The Best of 2009 Blog Challenge. A challenge to get you reflecting on your year. 31 days, 31 prompts for writing. Starting December 1st.
How to participate:
1. Write on one or all thirty-one of the prompts for the month of December.
2. A post can be a sentence, photo or 3,000 word essay.
3. Link up your blog.
4. Tag your posts and photos #best09 on Twitter (click to view aggregate). Follow others sharing their stories from the year.
Share your best moments of 2009 over the course of December. Don’t get hung up on details or length – if there’s an aspect of the question that doesn’t resonate, change it to meet your needs. Note: it will be helpful to keep a separate document open/piece of paper nearby to write down the loose ends you’ll come across as you reflect. If you’re looking for new inspirational blogs, want to resolve to write daily and are up for a challenge to round out your year, join us.

Jon and Kate Plus 8 Finale
I am sad to see their show end...
I loved those little kids! I loved Kate!
Jon's an ASS. He's a douche-bag! He is selfish! Why did he have to end this for them?
What is with the LIES LIES LIES shirt? Really?! Get some grown-up clothing!
...now I'm off to bed. Just had to get that off my chest.

Project Life.... YEAH!
I AM SO SUPER-DUPER EXCITED!
Becky Higgins just released her 2010 Project 365 kit. It is called Project Life! Last year the kits that CK released sold out in just a couple hours so this year, I would not wait long to get this kit... The price is $40, which I GREAT deal for everything that is included with the kit!

This year I tried to do my own Project 365 but I failed... miserably! I got up to April and then fell WAY behind. Next year, I PROMISE myself that I will keep up and take more photos of my daily life.
Here is her video about 2010's kit.

Zhu Zhu Pets
This is what Aubrey wants for Christmas... IF I COULD FIND THEM! You can get them for like $50 per hamster on eBay but the things are only $10!
I am praying that I can find one on Black Friday. If any of my friends out there find one, GET IT FOR ME and I will pay you back!
These things are SUPER cute and Aubrey will have a blast playing with them!

I can save your life... I have the card to prove it.
I got my CPR certification. I am fairly confident that if someone passes out in my Turbo Kick class, I will be able to save their life. I am praying that NO ONE EVER DOES!!
AHHHHHH!

Got this from FB...
Let's see how many friends can do this. Every day this month until Thanksgiving, think of one thing that you are thankful for and post it as your status. "Today I am thankful for..." The longer you do it, the harder it gets (hopefully not!)! Now if you think you can do it then repost this message as your status to invite others to take the challenge, then post what YOU are thankful for today!

Adorable Aubrey's Photo of the Week
This girl is OUT OF CONTROL! I am going to try to have a photo of the week of this crazy girl!
Everyday when she gets home from the sitters, she immediately wants to take off all of her clothes. This is Aubrey in her diaper with her princess crown, princess backpack and her pink snow boots. She is definitely stylin'!
(Yes, she still wears diapers to bed.)

Military Appreciation Dinner
My weekend included a Military Appreciation dinner with my husband and some others from the 323 Military Police Company. It was at the Toledo Club and it was VERY nice! The cocktail hour was great with wine, the dinner was delicious and the cheesecake was to die for! YUMMY! We had a show with the flaming rope coffee drink and it was PHENOMENAL.
After the formal dinner our group went out for more drinks at a couple of bars downtown. It was a great night out with my husband and his friends!
To think these days will come to an end in two months. I love the 'getting all fancy' days of the military. I don't love the drama that comes with it. I don't know how I feel about it....
