Wiggly Tooth

Landen has had a very wiggly front tooth for sometime now. Two days ago he finally let me pull it. When I say "let me", I mean I layed him on the couch and told him I was just going to "wiggle" it. The little thing just popped right out. The first day he looked so cute with his missing tooth. However, now the remaining tooth has moved towards the new space and has become quite loose too. One side is more loose than the other, making one side droop down. So when he smiles nice and big it almost looks like he has one of those halloween fake billy bob set of teeth in! I can't wait until this one falls out too!

T-Ball

Hey batter, batter! Landen is loving T-ball. This is his first year playing and does pretty well. These games are very entertaining to watch. The kids are all over the place. My favorite is when a ball is hit almost every child runs to get the ball and some will fight over it.

Here he is playing first base.

And then throwing home

Runners on third...

Taking it home!

The rest of us just enjoying the game. Kylee thinks she is so big. She pulls herself up and stands against EVERTHING!

Peyton's Birthday

Here is my baby! Already three years old. We had a Birthday party before all of her friends went out of town for the summer. So it wasn't actually on her birthday. We went to our apartment community center. We grilled food, had the traditional pinata, presents and a Princess cake. The kids mostly mostly played on the toys outside and the adults played the Wii. Fun was had by all!

FRIENDS: Dawson, Whitney, Peyton, Landen, Charlotte and Brooke

Sleeping Beauty Barbie with fairies

A new baby that coos, and talks. Peyton loves the interaction. When the baby senses movement, it talks. The baby's carrier changes into 5 different things too.

New Car

Well I guess she is about a month old now but here is our new car. 2004 Dodge Durango. We bought it Easter weekend and we love it. It has a third row and so much more room than our car. We recently took it on our first vacation. We packed it full and still had room for Aric to sit in the back seat to stretch out and attend to the children. It has plenty of cup holders(a huge necessity) and each seat has it's own air vent (my favorite feature). This is my kind of "minivan".

MUD!

One minute she can be pretty pretty princess...the next she is getting down and dirty with the best of them. Landen loves to make mud puddles in the flower bed next to our apartment. And then drive his trains and cars through it. Peyton just wanted to get in the mud.

Easter

Easter morning. No candy on the outfits...yet.

We decorated this Easter Bunny house with some friends. It is like a gingerbread house, except this one is made with sugar cookies.

It is amazing how the older the kids get, the less mess we have when decorating eggs.

Kylee's first attempt at baby food!

I couldn't narrow down which pictures to use...so I chose all of them. We tried some delicious squash for her first meal. As suspected, she wasn't a big fan. She is still working on the concept of swallowing instead of having her tongue push it all back out. So needless to say we got a little messy and needed a bath afterwards.

I am pretty sure she is gagging in this shot.

Slowly recovering...

Yep, I am sure I don't want anymore!
