OH NO- I LOST MY FIRST TOOTH

For about a month or so we have been dealing with learning about teeth. From our visit in Aug to the dentist till tonight. In Aug Morgan was getting her six year molars in. We were shocked and excited at the same time. Morgan started getting interested in her teeth asking lots of questions. Before were knew it she had her front two bottom teeth loose. She was so excited. Then a few weeks later she was feeling her teeth and I looked in her mouth only to find her new teeth were squezzing in behind them. This all seemed to develop so quickly and it reminded me that my little girl was growing up so fast.

Tonight I was drying Morgan off after her bath and went to wipe her face. Her front tooth had over the last couple of days bleed a little and was just hanging in there. After wiping her face I heard her tooth fall into the tub. I thought the world ended when Morgan lost it. She could not believe her tooth feel out then she started crying because her mouth was bleeding. Within a few minutes no more blood and she wanted to call her grandparents and tell them she lost her first tooth.

The rest of the night was about this tooth. It is now resting next to her bed in a baggie waiting for the tooth fairy to come. As I was lying with her she got scared the tooth fairy was coming and could not fall asleep. She did not want the fairy to get her. I had to reassure her things would be okay and it was like Santa or the Easter bunny coming at night to leave good things. We talked for a few minutes and I made her a promise Just like God made a promise to us that I would not let any one get her. She then rested and feel fast asleep.

One other note on that tooth- she asked me how much money the tooth fairy would leave. She is only five and wants to find out how much money she will get. What do I have coming.

My little girl is gettinig so big. I am sad but excited for the next phase with Morgan. She is a joy every day. Enjoy the photos of my toothless little girl.

A FUN WEEKEND

My family is looking forward to a fun weekend. Maybe Mom more than the others. Jason and I are going to see a movie together which we have not done in the theaters since Titantic. I know it has been forever. We are looking forward to watching Fireproof and then on Sat morning we are going to the pumpkin patch with the kids. I love this time of year and all the fall colors. We need to get a few pumpkins so the kids can carve them for Halloween. Then on Sat night I am going to a corn maze. Then Spoonriver on Sunday. This time of year is wonderful to spend with family and friends. Iwill keep you posted with some pics of our weekend to come.

Getting Caught Up

I have been running around like crazy lately. We took our weekend trip to
Davenport with the kids for the field trip with school for Morgan and to take Blake and Morgan to Chucke Cheese for Blakes Birthday. The kids had a blast. I have a few photos to share. That weekend we also had my cousins wedding and celebrated Blakes Birthday with family and friends on Sunday. I feel like I did not even catch my breath. I was thinking work would be slower and I have a few things I am working on as well so I stayed busy all week. I did take a few days to work from home and Blake and I took a walk to school to get Morgan one day and walked back home. That was a good distance so Morgan was tired. The next day Blake and I took a little bike ride. I hope to be able to ride our bikes tommorrow if the weather is nice. I love doing that with the kids and they love it to. Blake had his first dentist apt today and all went well except they wanted to have me work on getting rid of his "ME ME" that is what we call his pacifier. That will be a challenge because he loves it and it is his comfort. It is starting to work on his jaw line and development. That means I need to slowly (the key word) get rid of it. Along the line of teeth, Morgan has her bottom two front teeht loose. This just started the month of Septemper. She is excited and had to tell me her good news. When she went for her check-up the dentist said her six year molars were coming in and she would start to get some loose teeth. All four were working on coming in this summer.

I want to wish my Son and Husband a Happy Birthday- and let Morgan know I am proud of all her work at school. She has been doing so much this past Month(Sept). Now that the Birthday's are done we are looking forward to Halloween and a few fall outings to come. I will keep you posted!!! Enjoy the photos of are past few weeks of fun with the Waste Family.

DADDY'S BACK

Well Jason is back and we are so glad. He had training all week long and that makes twice the work for me. With little help means I am ready for a break. We manage to make do. Looking forward to having the boys of the house Birthday's this week to come. Jason's is on Wed and Blake's on Friday. I can't believe he is going to be two. We will be having a little party for the both of them. On Friday I get to go on Morgan's first field trip of the year. We are going to the zoo in the Quad Cities. After that we are going to stay up their and let the kids enjoy Chucke Cheese for Blake's big Day. I am not sure if we will drive home or stay the night with the kids. I am looking forward to that.
I received Morgan's photos from Brandi. I love them all and can't wait to share them with everyone. I will be doing Christmas gifts with them for the grandma's. Blake is diffently acting his age my starting the terrible two's. He got bit at daycare this week and now he thinks he can say his sister bites him to get her in trouble. Oh the fun is just beginning. The pleasure's of being a mommy.

It's Been Awhile

I feel like time has flown by. I have had a few busy weeks with work and getting back into our fall routine. Morgan and I had our first night of M&M tonight. M&M is our kid church night. I mentor the kids and I do get a lot of joy out of being with them and voluntering my time to be there. Dance started back up this week as well. Morgan is so excited that she knows a few girls in her dance class. Now things are full swing ahead for the fall. The cooler weather has been great and Jason and I plan on working some more on our land project. We hope to get the barn down in a few weeks and get some dirt moved. We would love to get the new barn up and be able to enjoy it up there some more.

My little man has began to chatter so much. He copies everything we say. I thought I would be spending some one on one time with him since Morgan is back in school but that has not happened yet. The months to come I am sure we will be bonding. I think he thinks I am boring. He misses his sister as he say's Morgan. It it so cute to hear him say her name. It has been sissy to him and now he copies us and says "Morgan stop". He is getting a little bossy.
