Brice goes to the dentist

I think the Whitley boys left quite an impression on our normally quiet and calm dentist's office. We recently switched them to the dentist I've gone to all my life so this was their first visit there and Brice's first dental visit ever! He was very excited and insisted on going first saying, "This is MY day!" So, without watching Sam do it first, Brice hopped in the chair and the questions commenced! He loved it all and had the entire office in stitches. Even Sam and I got the giggles.

It's not a visit to Dr. Cassidy's without a stop at the prize drawer.

Sorry I haven't posted in a while. Life has been a normal kind of busy, plus t-ball has started and Brian is coaching Sam's team, the Angels! Here is a glimpse at a moment in time on the way home yesterday. I had NO idea they knew this song and, I have to admit, I made them start back over so I could record it. Yes, I was driving, but I just held up my phone and let it go. I got lucky that I captured some of the hilarity! Ladies and gentlemen...here are...MY humps...

Our new house...in a tree, that is!

Brian has been working, off and on since last spring, to build a tree house in the woods at Pine Hill Farm. It was completed - just the basics - last weekend! Sam has got lots of grand ideas about what to put in it and we're thinking a campout is in order, as soon as it warms up a little!

Cheerfulness

On Wednesday Sam was sent home sick. He hasn't been back since. We're not used to this...poor little fella. However, he was at school long enough on Wednesday to do something special. Sam was chosen from his class to present the character word for the week during the morning announcements. The word was cheerfulness. Quite appropriate for our boy! Brian and Brice stayed to watch, but I had a meeting so I asked him to recite his script at home so I could record it and share. And, in case you can't make it all out, he said:

"Good morning Alexander II! This is Sam Whitley with a few words of wisdom. The character word for this week is cheerfulness. Jackson Brown, Jr. said, 'If you want to cheer up yourself, you should try cheering up someone else.' With something to think about, this is Sam Whitley. Make it a great day or not, the choice is yours."

And, of course, this silly boy had to do another recording...the silly version. Classic Sam!

Ice day

We had a BLAST sledding yesterday! After a few runs at home (with little to no hills) we drove up to Coleman Hill and that's when the fun really began. In fast, so much so, that I really don't have many good pictures. Sam learned to steer the sled and Brice was wide open!

After an exhasuting afternoon of sledding, Brice "took a rest" in our bed. Notice the hot chocolate mustache!

As if Christmas & birthday weren't enough....

We bought a building and moved our office/warehouse during the holidays! More pictures and info to come....
