Books of the Bible

I recorded Kylie saying the books of the Bible when I had her say the 23rd Psalm, but I forgot to post them! Oops! Better late than never, right??





Enjoy!

Pumpkin Pickin’!

Now that I am getting ready to throw out the pumpkins and put up the Christmas stuff I thought I’d post the pictures of the kids at the pumpkin patch, before I am completely out of season!

The rule when you go to the pumpkin patch with school is ‘if you can carry it, you can keep it’. I think that sounds like a good idea! We usually steer the kids towards the pie pumpkins, they are so much cheaper that way! I think they are getting on to us… I wonder how much longer we can keep it up?

Daddy and his babies. I can’t believe how much they have all grown, it made me so sad when I looked at these pictures (here’s last years, somehow 07’s never got posted I guess). I can’t believe how big they are now! Sniff, sniff.

These pumpkins were so neat, they were an awesome silvery greenish color. They were way cool!

These peanut pumpkins were pretty neat too… I’ve never seen anything like these before. It just might make me rethink our pumpkins for next year! :0)

Going, going, GONE!

On October 31st Kylie discovered that her tooth was ‘bendy’, and was absolutely thrilled!!  She has been dying to lose a tooth for a LONG time now!  I grabbed the camera and took a quick video of her (pardon, the unbrushed hair, the dress-up that is falling off, and her excited strange behavior!) 

Kylie’s tooth has been loose for 2 weeks now and it hasn’t changed too much, but after giving her an apple in her lunch her tooth became REALLY wiggly!  A friends son lost his tooth accidentally (I think he was 2?) and she posted the last picture of his smile before he lost it and it got me thinking.   So Saturday morning I took a few pictures of her ‘last smiles’.

 

You really can’t tell here, but she closed her teeth with the tooth on the wrong side.  It is in front of her top tooth instead of behind it since it is so loose.

I’m glad I took the pictures because she lost the tooth the next day!  She actually made it all the way through the day, and when I was tucking her in to bed I asked if I could try to pull it out.  (It was barely hanging on and I really, really didn’t want her to lose it at school and possibly lose it!)  She said I could try, but only if I agreed to put a piece of candy in her lunch!  That’s my girl!!  I’m not sure who was more nervous, me or Kylie!  I grabbed it and chickened out and let go as I pulled, I got it on the second try though! 

She cried for half a second and just looked shocked!   You can see the tears in the first 2 pictures  :0(

I had her close her eyes and put her in front of the mirror, and took a picture of her checking out her lack of tooth for the first time!

 

And checked it out, and checked it out!

    

Isn’t that a cute toothless grin?!

I can’t believe how tiny it was, It seemed smaller once it was out!

She told me she was going to put it back in!  Silly girl!

Showing off her new tooth pillow

And sharing the news!

And here she is, my toothless girl!  I snapped a few ‘afters’ when she got home from school today.  Isn’t she cute??

 

I forgot to video her after she lost it, so I’ll have to try to do that tomorrow…

Lost

Kylie lost her first tooth last night, and then lost it tonight!!!  We went to Pizza Hut for dinner to celebrate Daddy coming home, her tooth, and we had her Book-it to use.  When we were there I saw that Kylie had the baggie her tooth had been in in her purse, and it was OPEN!!!  Ack!  I took everything out slowly one at a time and didn't find it.  I looked through everything again, and we looked on the floor and all around with no luck.  There was a chance it could be at home (since that is where she put the open bag in her purse), so when we got home I crawled around the family room and looked in the foyer (the 2 places she said she was with it) and didn't find it!  I mean seriously, the cat lost a tooth and we found it!

I didn't give up, and I finally found it!!  Under the kitchen table!  I have no idea how it got there, but I am just thrilled that I found it!!  Crisis averted, shew!  Humm, this isn’t the first time Kylie almost lost a tooth… Anyone remember the first time??  Sigh!  (Pictures coming soon, Promise!)

Happy 3rd Birthday Brody!

Like I told you in the post below my little man turned 3 just over a month ago.

 Man, I really should have fixed his hair real quick!  He looks so shabby!

Showing me how many he is, it’s hard work to get the right fingers up and the wrong ones down!

SO excited …over the gift mommy got on clearance (oh yeah!)

He got a Cars paper set, notebooks, pencils, rulers… the works!

 

He also got a worklight like Daddy’s!

And a motorcycle engine he can take apart and rebuild!

and the last of his steel trucks

I made blonde brownies since his party was the next day and we didn’t need 2 cakes.  He didn’t mind, he just likes blowing the candles out!
