Our Dentist Office...We really like them. It is open 7 days a week!!!

Brooklyn getting ready for her first x-ray of her teeth!!!

Here is the x-ray for her teeth. The dentist thought her teeth looked wonderful and her adult teeth are coming in beautifully!! They think she should start loosing her teeth in about a year!!

All done!!! She did such a great job that she got her own tooth brush and she got to pick out something from the toy chest!!! Great Job Brooklyn Sophia!!!!

FREE STUFF...

This is just some of the FREE stuff I have received in the mail!! Brooklyn gets so excited to find a box from Walmart in the mailbox. This is just from the past 3 weeks. Some stuff is not pictured (cup from Juicy Juice and cat food from meow mix) because it has been used!! =) I LOVE FREE STUFF!!!!!
