Yipee The Tooth is Out

Emilee lost her very first baby tooth. A little over a week ago, after Emilee had been tucked into bed, she came running out of her room yelling "Mommy" "Daddy". The first thing that popped into my head was she saw a scorpion or some other hideous bug in her room. That was not the case, her tooth was loose. Very loose. Well she would not let anyone touch anything anywhere near her mouth. It took some coaxing to get her to play with her tooth. Then last Friday, she let me check out her mouth. She let me wiggle the tooth a little and then decided that she didn't like me touching her tooth. Well as she was moving to get off my lap my finger popped that little tooth right out of her mouth and it landed on the floor. Yipee the tooth is out. The tooth fairy came that night and all is well in the world of Emilee once more.

Emilee's Birthday pictures

Here are Emilee's pictures we had taken for her sixth birthday. She was channeling her inner princess that day at the photo studio.

The picture fairy did it...

As I downloaded pictures from the camera recently, I noticed some shots that I did not take...and I am quite certain that Robert did not take these pictures either. It seems we have a little picture taking fairy at our house.

The Cookie, The Bike and The PJ's

The Santa Cookie...When Santa came to our home on Christmas to deliver toys, he only took a couple bites out of this huge cookie we left for him. Well Christmas morning during all the hoopla and craziness as the gifts were being attacked by the two oldest children, little Alyssa found the leftover cookie. As I look through the pictures taken Christmas morning several have Alyssa munching on the Santa Cookie. Luckily Alyssa didn't have to worry about opening gifts because Zach took care of that for almost everyone. He kept picking up presents and saying they were for him and opening them.


The Bike...the second most photographed item on Christmas morning is Zach on his brand new bike. I don't know that he got off that thing much that morning.


The new PJ's...the third most photographed item on Christmas morning were the pajama's we gave the kids on Christmas Eve. We didn't take pictures of the pajamas on Christmas Eve because it was late and the kids were so cranky that night. Then the next morning the kids did everything but look at the camera at the same time as we attempted to have them poise for the pictures.
