Our little brother(my brother-in-law) got married this past Summer! He married the sweetest girl named Jen and we couldn’t be more happy with his choice, we love her so much! Aiden was the ring bearer and Jay was the MC. I believe this is Jay’s 10th MC’ing for a wedding now? He’s done so many, it’s hard to keep track!

Aiden’s suit c/o of Appaman, my favorite shop for boys suits.

 

Aiden was the cutest ring bearer. As he walked down the aisle, he just smiled his cutest dimpled smile the whole time as he kept glancing left and right in the audience to win their hearts. He wore the same exact grey suit as the groom, down to the matching mint color necktie!

 

The girls wore the cutest gold bows c/o of  Diana Rose Boutique. I got the bows for all their girl cousins as well and they all looked so cute in their bows!

The bows were super sturdy, high quality and surprisingly un-squishable and endured even a 2 year old wearing it all day long, I was impressed.

Jen looked stunning!

Jay doesn’t even know this because I forgot to tell him, but my brother just got engaged and he asked me to see if Jay could MC his wedding. He’s just so funny and sentimental and good at it, I don’t think his 11th time of MC’ing will be his last. 😀

 

Thank you Thompson Dental for giving me a discount for me and for my readers! As always, I am very honest in everything I post(life + motherhood + reviews + sponsored posts) and only recommend brands I truly love.

 

Back in March I asked my Facebook friends if anyone knew of a good orthodontist that wasn’t so expensive. I got many good recommendations but this comment by my friend Autumn stood out to me the most. Can you see why?

 

 

Intrigued, I asked her for more information and she gave a review that completely sold me.

 

 

I mean, wouldn’t you be completely sold? I don’t think you could give an orthodontist any better review! I still took my daughter to a consultation at two other places that my other friends have recommended that was closer to me, and they seemed great but the prices were pretty high. Then for our third consultation, we went to meet Dr. Thompson from Thompson Dental. And once I met up with him and his sweet staff(seriously, they are the sweetest people, ever!) and learned that he uses special wires that take the time you need to wear the braces in almost half, AND he was much cheaper than the other two quotes I got, plus my friend’s raving reviews, I was sold once again. Our quote for my daughter wasn’t exactly half the time and half the money but it was very close to half the time and half the cost than the other two quotes I got. Since it is still a lot of money, I asked them if they’d be interested in giving me a discount in exchange for a blog post about our experience and they told me to email them more details. I came home that day and told Jay that even if they said no, I would still go to them 100%, because they’re much cheaper and in half the time. Then they got back to me and said let’s do it! Hence, this blog post to share the discount code with you all!

 

My daughter right after she got her braces on! She is the cutest thing, when they asked her what color she wanted for her braces, she said “magenta” thinking the color was purple. At her second appointment, she was sure to ask for purple, not magenta.

We expected the braces to cause quiet a bit of pain for her since that’s what all her friends have told her, so we gave her some ibuprofen when she got home but then we never had to give her anymore after that! It didn’t hurt much for her, which I am so glad. I am not sure if it’s due to where she got them, or because we have high pain tolerance in our mouths? Because braces didn’t hurt for me either when I got them at the age of 25. I wish I knew of Dr. Thompson back then!

We have loved our experience at Thompson Dental so much and our other daughter will get her braces there next year. Dr. Thompson said she isn’t ready quiet yet. I also asked them if they’d be willing to give you guys a code for a discount and they kindly agreed! Just mention my name “Sarah Tyau” and they’ll give you 10% off!

My son graduated from Preschool, hooray! He worked so hard and studied wee hours into the night memorizing his colors, shapes and the ABC’s. 😀  He really did great in Preschool and loved it. I took all 3 kids to the Orthodontist a little ways away which took longer than expected so I had to drive straight to the graduation, thus forgetting my nice camera and the video camera! I was so bummed. But IPhone portrait mode came to the rescue and also I’ve realized that if by me stressing and worrying and fussing changed the circumstance, then stress, worry and fuss all I want. But if doing that doesn’t change the circumstance, why exert unnecessary energy and be unhappy? It’s better to change my attitude instead since that’s the only thing I can change in that circumstance.

 

After the graduation, we went to Loveland Living Plant Aquarium and out to dinner to celebrate.

My kids love Tuki’s Island Play playground, did you know that they throw parties right inside the playground? They have 4 party rooms and they do all the set up, feed the guests pizza and drinks and do all the clean-up. Talk about hosting an easy, stress-free party! The package also comes with an admission to the aquarium, 90 mins. in the party room, and access to the playground(you usually have to pay extra to play there). You can check out more info on their parties here.

*I was not paid to write about Loveland Living Planet Aquarium but was given a family pass. I am also hosting a giveaway for a free party for 20 people, valued at $300 on my Instagram for you fellow Utahns(or you can enter for your friends or family living in UT as a gift)! Go enter on my Instagram!
