Our First Visit from the Tooth Fairy

After two weeks of wiggling Jaxson's tooth finally came it out on Wednesday. He was so excited when it finally came out Chris and I had been pulling on it for days trying to get it out because his other tooth was coming in behind it. It was actually kind of funny how it came out he was wrestling with one of his friends and accidentally got kicked in the mouth and his tooth came flying out he was crying at first but when he figured out his tooth was out he was so excited because now the tooth fairy could come.




The tooth fairy gave him $2 which was not even close to the $20 he was hoping for but he was still excited when he woke up and found the money under his pillow. I can't believe that he is going to start kindergarten and he is already losing his teeth it feels like we were just bringing him home from the hospital time goes by way to fast.

Jaxson's Trick

This was Jaxson's favorite thing to do on the houseboat besides fishing. Before he jumped off he looked at everyone and said "feast your eyes on me" I don't know where he comes up with these things.

We Finally Made It!!

After weeks of trying to go to the lake we finally made the decision to get in the car and try it. When we arrived on Saturday the smoke was really bad, but after 13 hours of driving we all decided we would give it a chance. When we woke up on Sunday the smoke was clearing and we had two beautiful days. On Monday night the smoke started to come back and by Tuesday night it was really bad so we had to leave on Wednesday, but it was still worth it the kids had so much fun and we can't wait for next year.



Chris would take all the kids out on the paddle boat and look for frogs they all love this and they even caught two and brought them back to the houseboat to show everyone.



Carter and Kaylee were so cute she was having a hard time not falling while they were throwing rocks so Carter held her hand and helped her.





Chris and Jaxson jumped off the top of the houseboat together I think Chris enjoyed this more then Jaxson because Jaxson would never try it again.



Jaxson will fish from the time he wakes up until he goes to sleep at night it is so cute to watch him.



The boys went on the tube together it was so cute they did not go fast, but they looked like they were having fun.

Jaxson's First Driving Lesson

My dad thought it was a good idea to purchase a go cart for the grandkids since Jaxson is the oldest he was the first one to try it out. After all the guys left with the kids I was a little nervous because there was no one there to encourage them to slow down or take it easy.


So after a little assembly Jaxson was ready to go.


They said Jaxson was actually doing pretty good at driving I did get a little nervous when they told me that this go cart went 20 mph.


The risk of one child crashing was not enough for Chris, John and my Dad so they had to put Carter in with Jaxson this seems a little crazy to me a 5 year old driving around a 3 year old but they all say I worry way to much.


On the way home from town Zan, Me and Mom decided we should check on the guys and make sure everything was okay it turns out I was right to be concerned the boys ended up crashing into one of the big trucks. Luckily they did not get hurt that bad Jaxson ended up with a fat lip and Carter ended up with a hurt elbow but the dads were proud because they did not give up and got back in the go cart for one more ride.

Shake it Baby!

A tutu for Payton

In my attempt to make sure Payton does not become a total tomboy since she is growing up with two older brothers I made her a tutu. It was so much easier then I thought and I could not wait to get home and try it on her. So as soon as Payton woke up I immediately showed her the tutu she was not excited and all Chris could say is what did you expect she is one and she hates all that girly stuff. Even though I could tell she was not all that into the tutu I still made Chris put it on her and just as I predicted the first thing she did was try to take it off and then she started crying and Chris started laughing. She cried until Jaxson told her she looked pretty then she walked around with it on long enough to get some pictures. Even though Chris doesn't think so I think if I just give her a little time she is going to love the tutu.
