ToOf FaIrY

Well, it is pronounced tooth fairy...needless to say, Annelise had her very first visit! She was so unbelievably excited and had no fear of wiggling the heck out of her little tooth to get that visit! She is super proud of her toothless smile now too. The Tooth Fairy left her a note sprinkled with glitter (from her fairy pockets), $2 and a small prize.

Annelise wrote her a note asking to keep the tooth


Here's the poem that she wrote that had a cute picture on it of the tooth fairy...

You’ve been a good child all this time,
So I, the tooth fairy will leave your tooth I call mine
Your first tooth only yesterday fell,
In return a dollar; or special treat if you promise to spend it well!

I must say the tooth fairy is quite the poet. ;)

OuTiNgS

[our latest outings were to the zoo with my dear friends Kim and Holly (& kids)]

[cole's favorite animal]
[aaron's favorite animal]
[and the circus with the Swensons]
[aaron asked if we could do it all again today...I think he liked it! :) As did the rest of us.]

Completed. How about a backsplash instead of just the painted wall?



We had some help on this one...but I am glad we did it. I love the outcome. Josh is still cursing me for my "projects" I make him help me with. I may give him a break for a while.
Colers ate alot of crackers while he watched so we could finish!

#24 WRiTe A MiSsIoNaRy

check. I decided to write a ward missionary since I have no family out on missions. He is the brother of one of the Laurels in my class and she misses him so I thought I would write and tell him that :) and some other stuff...

Aaron tried on Annelise's glasses...and I just had to take this...if he had longer hair...he could be mistaken for his sister.

MoRe SoCcEr

Since soccer started, I am finding so many coloring pictures and writings that say how much she loves it. I am so glad, and she is improving alot too. Aaron loves going to watch the games, and Josh most certainly gets into the games. It is funny...he is the typical soccer dad. :)

[The morning started just like any other...]
[And then Aaron had his first day of preschool...and luckily he was excited to see his teachers again.]

DiNoSaUr PaRk

[Last ditch attempt to do something fun with my boys before school started]
[It worked! It was super fun. And I caught a sweet picture of Cole and Aaron running from an exibit that looked like they were afraid the whole time! They weren't though....well, most the time :)]

WeEkEnD pLaNs

Other than getting to take care of this cute little doggy Bodie,
we spend a night in Midway at the Zermott Resort with the Menloves. It is just so beautiful up there it is amazing. I can see why the Swiss settled there! Josh and Justin went golfing, we went swimming, and ate a yummy restaurant. Our kids tend to wake up earlier than normal on vacation so we were pretty tired the next day. Infact, at lunch Josh fell asleep at the table and we all threw Cheerios down his shirt. That's what you get for falling asleep! I do love Midway, and the Menloves!

[Justin missed our picture opportunity! (I think it was on purpose)]





[aren't they the cutest family?]
