Random post for Hump Day.....

I was thinking just how much that I LOVE what I do for a living! Becoming a dental hygienist has been on the top of my list of accomplishments. I love Teeth and helping my patients take care of their oral health! 
 This past weekend our dental office went to the ADA Annual Session in Orlando. We had such a blast! We were able to get so much free dental stuff! Whitening (which I was ecstatic about), tons of toothbrushes, floss, toothpastes, and so much more! Friday some of us girls went to Universal's Islands of Adventure.
We had such a good time at the park! We didn't have to wait very long in the lines, which is Always a plus, we were able to get Gabbie to ride the HULK with us, we were able to ride all 3 of the NEW Harry Potter rides that were in Hogsmeade, drink Butterbeer, and goof off all day! Afterwards we went to our wonderful hotel, the JW Marriott, and enjoyed the lazy river and the hot tub, followed by a girls movie night.
 Above is a photo of me demonstrating how to use a handpiece on our Scavenger Hunt teammate, Amy. This was on our list of items for the hunt. Did I mention yet, that our team WON!
I was able to practice using new equipment for dental hygienist at the session. I loved learning all of the New technology that is out.
I am so glad that I became a dental hygienist and that I work for an amazing boss, with great co-workers at Normandy Dentistry!

Oh how we LOVE going to Disney World!!

This past weekend we took a family trip to Walt Disney World! When Jesse called to make the reservation for us, they had told us that this had been our 30th trip within the past 7 years (that is rediculous). Although, we didn't always go to a Disney park, it was sometimes Universal or for some sort of function, but regardless we have given the big 6 foot mouse, a lot of our money!! I'm sure we will give him a lot more within the next several years!!
We stayed at Disney's All-Star Movies Resort in the Dalmations area. This was our second time staying there with Macy, and our first with Jake. We always stay at one of the Disney resorts when we take a trip there, cause we love them so much!
On Sunday, we went to the Magic Kingdom and spent majority of the day there. This is by far our favorite Disney spot!  
We had a blast! We had only taken Jake when he was 3 months old, so this was pretty much his first trip where he could enjoy it. He loved all of the characters. His face was priceless when he saw each of them, Goofy, Stitch, Buzz Lightyear, Donald Duck, Minnie Mouse, and most of all, Mickey Mouse! Macy was able to meet Tinkerbell and 2 of the other fairies, as well as the characters that Jake saw. She was ecstatic over them!!
 Saturday we enjoyed the hotel accommodations, including the pool, gift shop, game room, and the lounge area.....a nap was included too by Jake and I....hehe! Then Saturday night we went with friends of ours, Johnny, Angeline, their son, our family, and my sister and nephew to Downtown Disney and ate at the T-Rex restaurant, which was so cool! Jake was terrified of the lights and the dinosaurs. Then we watched the Florida vs. Alabama game.....which was the only upset of our trip!
 Our family with Buzz Lightyear at the Magic Kingdom 
on Saturday. Jake LOVES Buzz! That was Macy's 2nd time seeing him. She was able to see him last February when we went for her Birthday.
Sunday, after we left the Magic Kingdom, Tiffney and I took Kingston and Jake to Disney's
Hollywood Studios to let the boys see the Fantasmic show, which was great, but kind of scary for the kids. Macy didn't feel good, so Jesse took her back to the resort so that we could go with the boys. 
Macy, Jake, Tiffney, Kingston, and I went to Animal Kingdom on Monday before we headed home. We hadn't been there in a few years, therefore Macy didn't remember much about it. We all had a blast and cannot wait to go back!!
We plan on going back in November or December with my parents.
