Finally!

Abby finally lost her second tooth! It has been loose for about 6 months. She has been wiggling and messing with it none stop. I have tried on a few occasions to pull it out but she and it were not having any of that. But I guess like the last one, she hit it on Brigham somehow. That's how she lost tooth number one by bonking it on Briggy's head. This time it just really really loosened it. I was afraid she was going to swallow it in her sleep. Like a good mom  I told her I was just going to feel it and I yanked it out.  She was shocked then excited even as the blood was gushing everywhere.  I have my own little toothless running around now.

Briggy's Bird Feeder

 Brigham made a Bird feeder at preschool the other day. He was so excited to hang it up when we got home. The problem is we don't really have a tree, so this is the only place we could find that a bird might actually find it. He was so proud.

In all its glory.

Dang Dog.

 

I am not a fan of having pets in/on beds or furniture. To be more specific, I think its pretty nasty . I know I used to do it with my pets growing up but now as a mom...gag. For some reason Maggie has decided to like Brigham's bed.  Despite the fact its a loft bed and a pain to get into. When I cannot find her she has usually made her way there. The other night I went to check on Briggs before I went to bed. This is what I found...I had no idea she was in there.  Despite the gag factor, I thought it was really cute and couldn't resist snagging a picture before I took her out. Little moments...

Baby Beluga

Abby and her pal Ashley. They have known each other since 3year old preschool

 

Abigail had her Baby Beluga 1st Grade program this month. She was so excited, mainly because she got to wear her Pajamas, but about the program too. She has come a long way since the days of darting of the stage and throwing tantrums in the halls. It makes me a proud mama. unfortunately Briggs and Emily were tired and grouchy and this program was during bed time, thus Seth stayed home with them and I got to go watch her sing and dance :)

Getting ready to head back

Good Job Abby!

Here is a few minutes of the program. She did awesome. She is in the top row in the purple. 

So proud

Stock Show-2014

Last weekend the kids went to the stock show with their Grandma Cheri and Aunt Christy. They had a blast, as you can see from all the pictures. They were able to ride horses, hold goats, eat lots of bad things, ride a carousel and spend time together. Brigham says the best part was eating cotton candy and riding the horse. We seriously need to move to the country!

 These little goats remind me of my youth. We had these types of goats growing up and I loved those stinky little guys. I am glad the kids get to at least experience them in some form.

Happy little Clams

Love these little cow kids.

TBT- My baptism

 Anyone know who the gal on the far left is, or the man in the wheel chair? Me either...

I have no memory whatsoever of my baptism when I was 8 years old. All I had was a picture of Jesus that said I was baptized. I have never seen any pictures from my baptism either.

A few weeks ago I received a package from my Aunt Karen with these pictures she had found inside. Imagine my surprise! I didn't know they existed. It made me a little teary eyed to be honest.

It was such a nice surprise and it was so fun to see everyone back in the day. I am pretty sure this is 1991. I had a good stroll through memory lane...

My mom and I. Rocking Dress! I think this is my Favorite pic!

My dad and I. I would gather that my face is because there are not one, but two bows in my hair. I bet my mom had to wrestle me to get those in.

The picture I am holding is the one I was talking about. That's my mom and a family friend carol.

I must be wearing tights too. I hated wearing Tights and Bows. I bet that's why im so joyful.

Cassidee, Chelsey, Ashley and Codee. They must have sang a song.

Let it Snow!

 

Unlike our last winter storm experience which kept us iced in for days...we actually got SNOW this time! It was soft, fluffy and fun to play in. The kids were in frozen heaven. They didn't last an extremely long time, but long enough to enjoy hot chocolate after. Emily and Briggs loved making their foot prints and watching the dog act like a crazy loon. Abby was in school for most of the snow fall but she got to play some later.

Brrr its chilly

Emily just kept wanting to walk up and down the sidewalks
