Ty and McKay's doctor visit

Today we had a doctor visit with our new doctor. When I quit working Kip picked up the insurance and his insurance would no longer cover Dr.Gabrielson. I have loved him and I will miss having him as my boy's doctor however I found a new doctor that I love. Her name is Dr.Barrera. She was referred to us and today was really the first time we got to get to know her. They were able to schedule Ty's 2 year check up and McKay's 6 mo check up today all in the same appointment. The office was so friendly to kids. They let Ty stand up at the table and help check McKay with a mini doctor play set. They had a new story book for Ty and McKay that they could each take home. They had a sucker and stickers when the shots were through. Dr.Barrera gave me time to ask my questions and didn't rush me. She is a lot like Dr.Gabrielson in that manner. She is so good with the boys and seems very knowledgeable. I really liked her!

Ty's stats for this appointment:
Weight: 27 lb. -34%
Height:  39 IN -77%

Basically we have a tall, skinny kid. He is still recovering from being sick and needs to get back onto his good eating habits.

McKay's stats for this appointment:
Weight: 16.9 lb -25%
Height: 27 in -50%

Basically we have a little 6 month old boy. He started out small and has been trying to catch up ever since. The doctor isn't worried about him since he has gained weight since his 4 mo appointment. He was only in the 16th percentile at that appointment. I'm glad we are moving up.

I have to say it was hard taking both boys to the doctor and having both of them get shots. It worked out okay since the nurses and doctor was so great. Ty is getting easier as he is getting older but he still has those moments that remind me he is a 2 year old. I am so glad I get to be home and I am able to take my little guys to their doctors appointment and not worry about getting back to work. I also love cuddling them the rest of the day once they've had their shots as well. They are both such cute little guys and I am glad they are mine.

The nice surprise for the day was Kip calling me during his lunch hour to check on the boys and their appointments. He is such a good, hardworking dad!

On a completely different note I have a few random thoughts that I don't want to forget about the last week.

I fixed Crystal's hair since she had let a friend dye it a crazy color.
We are spending the next 2 weeks at Kip's Grandma Beus' house since Kip's parents are on vacation in California. We have loved spending time with Grandma Beus!
We celebrated Caleb, Grandpa Barker and Asher's birthday's Saturday at G & G Barker's
We took Ty to Toad's for his first try at miniature golfing for Asher's birthday. Ty tried but just couldn't figure out the golfing thing yet. He made a good effort and Kip tried a few times to show him but he was content with just taking the ball and running up to the bigger cousins who were ahead of him.
Cassie (a.k.a the sweetest sister/person/friend anyone could ask for) Kyle and Noah took the boys for us from Friday to Saturday so that we could celebrate our 4th anniversary. We went to dinner and a $3 movie on Friday and I actually got ready. We slept in until 8 AM on Saturday which was awesome and we did nothing all Saturday well until about 1:30 PM when we went to pick up the boys. It was a nice little treat and I can't tell you how nice it was to just get to spend time with Kip. We both missed the boys and we were so glad to have them home with us again.
I am loving Instagram and playing around with it almost everyday. It's fun to document all the little things I see all day long.
