Alden Pre-School Halloween Party and Jedi at the Dentist

Alden was Obi Wan for Halloween this year.

So like every kid right after their fist school Halloween party they go to the Dentist.  Here Alden is using the force to help clean his teeth.

Yep, even the Dentists kids are trouble patients.

May the Force be with you.

Les Mils Body Combat Lunch and Kids Heath Expo

Well here was a busy Saturday. Michelle had a body combat lunch at the Plattsmouth Community Center. There was also the Kids Health Expo at the community center that Doug went to For McKnight Family Dental. Then to top that off Samantha had a soccer game that afternoon!

Michelle with Fellow instructor Sara A. They spilt up the tracks and each taught half. They get new choreography every quarter so as soon as they get one down it is time to learn the next material.

Warming up!

Kickin' it!

more kicking and sweating

RPM also had a lunch that day.

As did body pump.

McKnight family Dentals table. Rae Lynn was there too. Kids posed like they did something. They had fun at all the other stuff going on.

Soccer time. Yes, Samantha does have pink hair!

Plattsmouth Harvest Festival - Tooth Fairy

On September 9th, the Plattsmouth Harvest Festival started with a bang! Samantha didn't have school (and she was disappointed), so we dressed up the kids to walk in the parade. They got a 1st Place Ribbon!

Clair was Dr. Doug's Tooth Fairy (Samantha wore this same outfit when she was almost 2 years old). Alden was a Cavity Creep (Doug was a Cavity Creep when he was little too!). Samantha was the Brilliant Brusher! Doug wore his McKnight Family Dental shirt and he pulled Clair down the parade route.

Clair didn't like being strapped into the wagon!

Grandma Nancy came to help us! We are very thankful that she did because the kids were a handful!

This is the best picture we got of all 3 kids looking at us! :)

The kids did a great job of waving to the crowd!

After the parade, Samantha performed her dance from last year on stage with her dance class.

She did so good! She hit every move on the right beat! :)

Check out that vertical!! It's already better than mine (Michelle's).

After she was done dancing, we went to the Riverhouse Cafe for ice cream and pie with our friends Christie, Jayger & Mikenna Haag; Katie, Kyle, Ian, & Megan Graves, Grandma Nancy, Grandma & Grandpa McKnight, and Auntie Debra showed up later.

Then, Grandma Nancy bought ride tickets so that the kids could go on one ride each. Samantha and Alden went on the trucks.

Clair chose to go on the Merry Go Round with Grandma Nancy!

Has it been 6 months already?

Well Six months just seems to fly by these days and it was time for our April check ups at McKnight Family Dental. Alden was the first to Jump in a chair.

Alden is a great little patient and has been since he turned two. The only weird thing is he calls Doug, Dr. Doug when he is in the chair.

Sam was next. Here she is picking out her new toothbrush. Biggest decision of her day. Sam also got an experimental sealant. Doug got a sample of a new product claiming great things, but he is skeptical of everything so he is testing it on Sam before he would use it on a "normal" patient.

Then there was the wild card that is named Clair. She sat in the chair and opened really big. She did great for a one year old.

What a good helper. Just so you know I also got my teeth cleaned but no one needs a picture of that.

A Day at the Dentist's Office

Sam & Alden had their teeth cleaning in October by Doug. Clair had her teeth counted by Doug.

No Cavities!!

This was almost a month ago, but we took the pictures on Doug's office camera, so this post is a little late! :) We all had dentist appoints the week of Doug's birthday, and we all came out with NO CAVITIES! Alden, Samantha, Clair, & I!!

No Cavities!!

Samantha had her 6 month dental check up last week. Daddy the dentist cleaned and counted her teeth and found that she had NO CAVITIES!! Alden was fascinated by Doug working on Samantha's teeth, so he watched VERY CLOSELY (as you can see by the picture). He even got in the dental chair himself so daddy could look at his teeth. Clair got her turn in the chair too, and wasn't very happy about it! (Nothing against daddy, I just think she mainly didn't want to be woke up!)
