Two Sweet "Southern Smiles"

So we had to get our pearly whites checked a few weeks ago so off we went to our sweet dentist at "Southern Smiles".  This was Aidan's third visit and Little Misses first so it was quite the adventure.  Big brother went first to show little sister how it was done.  He has always been a brave one and no suprise this time...he did great.  He loved helping with the suction and picked bubblegum for his cleaning flavor.  Next came Clara Kate.  She smiled for the camera for her own personal photo shoot (they use the picture to identify her file) and then they counted her teeth.  But she wasn't gonna get down until they brushed her teeth.  So sitting in the dentist chair, a million times her size, she had her teeth brushed and we were done!  Oh and about 15 minutes digging through the treasure box we were out the door.  Who knew the dentist could be so entertaining!  These are small memories, but nevertheless the ones I don't want to forget.  So goes my blogging. 

First Annual Caerus Mardi Gras Parade

     So I have to back up a few weeks for my first official Blog!  Many of you know that I love tradition and look forward to traditions that  were started when I was young and continue to be tradition for my family.  That being said, on February 8, myself with Aidan, Clara Kate and Mama Buckley in tow attended the First Annual Caerus parade in Hattiesburg.  It was important to me that my kids would be a part of what I could forsee as a new "tradition" in our family.  Having a Mardi Gras parade in Hattiesburg has been long overdue and the fact that we were able to be right in the middle of it made me quite giddy to say the least.  Now I suspect that in the future there will need to be some tweaking and revamping to work out a few kinks but through my children's eyes it was nothing short of spectacular!  And to me what more could you ask for?!?!
     We were joined by some of my work friends and their kids as well as 6000 of our closest friends.  The kids played some football in the middle of Hardy Street before the big event and the rest of us snacked on bottled water, beef jerky, Doritos and CK munched on some leftover Chick-fil-A thanks to Miss Caroline. 
     All in all was a fantastic night and a perfect start to a new tradition.  So Let The Good Times Roll and Happy Mardi Gras to everybody!

We are a family of 4 so needless to say it is very difficult to recall every detail of this crazy life so I have decided to Blog.  Memories are way to precious to forget and way too much fun not to share.  My hope is to preserve the moments of this wonderful life we have made and be able to share it with friends and family and ultimately use it as a "life scrapbook" for my sweet babies. 

First on the list is to figure out how this works.  Hope you all enjoy it right along with me!
