favorite quote of the day

after telling whitney to get in bed.
whitney: I'M... NOT WHITNEY....I'M....A WO-BOT....WHITNEY'S...IN....DA BAFFWOOM.

this is cool

and bragging a little bit, but i'm okay with that. see this here cover of this here journal?

well, that's wade's case!! his case was chosen to be on the cover of the journal of the american academy of cosmetic dentistry and it features two articles, about 10 pages total, written by wade himself! the journal is published quarterly and distributed world wide, and is the IT journal when it comes to cosmetic dentistry. The best of the best. what's more, his case will be used for all of the aacd advertising for the next year. this honor is only given to one dentist worlwide every other year. that means you'll be seeing wade's work in magazines like O, women's health, vogue, shape, redbook, and more. wade's worked really hard for this, so congratulations babe!! you deserve this and i'm so proud of you.

i forgot these

i just realized i never posted our (the adults') costumes. they were too good not to post. this was our team for a halloween competition which, by the way, we totally won. "Let's get physical" was our team name - 80's aerobics inspired.
i tried so hard not to make a face while jumping.

guess who's three

how do you properly celebrate turning three? ask whitney. she'll tell you all about it.


first of all, there's a birthday cat, whithout a doubt, to have and to hold and to cuddle in bed (the cat's bed) and to name Sasafrass which, when called by a new three-year-old, owns the cutest three syllabals known to man,

and which, when obeyeing the new three-year-olds beckoning, brings the BIGGEST smile to a birthday girl's face.

of course, there's some getting used to a new finger on the still chubby baby hand that's so accustomed to two,

and, certainly, there should be tinkerbell-donning birthday cakes

complete with the bluest tongue-staining frosting availabe.

and birthday smiles

and birthday smirks


and birthday poses too.


and don't forget the hugs and kisses.

oh, and a party too rediculously big for any three year old.


and so, we have more love for this three-year-old than seems possible to have aquired for her in the three short years we've had her, but that's how it works with your kids - constantly baffeled by how attached you seem to have become to them. this one for sure

Grandma and Grandpa Fix their Grillz
